Default Fuel pump + Tank

For a 1.8 zetec turbo, what size/make/where can i find the right pump? Off the top of my head, i estimate about 180bhp, with 130spec cams and emerald k3 with T25 turbo, unsure which injectors are needed yet. Will get more involved with that when i'm halfway through body prep and bought the engine.

Is 1.8 zetec escort GTI the best engine for conversion into mk4 cab? Heard it's slightly different...

And am i right that a mk4 3i tank is ok since it has swirlpot built in and designed for external pump?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

would a Bosch 3.4ltr/min @ 3bar pump be enough? And would it use original ford electrical connections or would i need to put new ones on? (no problem since the loom is out anyway.)

If using a external pump, just use the std xr4i/cossie pump the 941, about £70, will supply well over 350 bhp, also depending on what rail you are using, if you use top feed injectors, instead of side feed zetec ones you could pick up a set of std yellow injectors for around £40.
Any injection tank will be fine, external pump one.
The 941 bosch pump has the common post connector, that the plug goes onto/over, the uprated 044 pump(not needed for you) has screw terminals, so most put on a ring terminal on there.

Thanks for the response guys, i plan to use rover inlet so not sure on rail yet. 180bhp'ish was my estimate, dont need much more. whichever way is cheapest to get that.
