need to fit a new fuel pump to the car, should i go standard or is there a good uprated alternative (have heared about fitting cossie 2wd) any one got any idea, running about 198bhp at the moment, and thinking of a zvh conversion soon

 

Amber Performance sell uprated ones, dont know anything about them though

 

A cossie pump only has different terminals, nothing more
If you having problems with fueling, re-do the connections of witing on the pump

If not, adding another fuel pump won't give you more fueling, just a better connection and feed

I cut off ends and re-do every year on my pump, better safe than sorry and always a good connection then

 

Nothing wrong with a standard pump, as long as it isn't noisey.

 

Tony, very true any slight noise from it means you got no fuel or it's ready to die

 

Saying that, I use a 2wd one lol

 

Which is the same different terminals, no more
RST one has push on connectors
Cossie one has crimp on connectors with a nut to secure

 

Nope, a 2wd one has a higher flow rate. They "look" the same though.

 

 

yeah i have the 2wd one fitted aswell


might go for something a little more flash later on, we shall see

 

standard pumps for an rsturbs are kewl for 400bhp!

if its noisy,then the impeller is slipping on its spline,and not giving the pressure needed,soon the pump wont pump,trust me i know!

 

cheers for the advice, still not sure which to go for will see whats avalible 2nd hand and the price.

 

You're joking right?

New ones about Ł70 at a Bosch dealer, maybe cheaper if you haggle

 

just spent ŁŁŁŁ on a rebuild + ŁŁŁ on new brakes + ŁŁ on tax + ŁŁ on insurance

+ wife and 2 kids =even less ŁŁŁŁ

i know it makes sense to buy new but i need to watch the ŁŁŁ if i can get one used on the cheap i will do untill i can afford a new one next month.

 

good second hand below 20thou miles no external damage,there usually ok for at least 80thou,mine was genuine to 110thou miles.

 

I use a standard S2 pump and haven't changed it in the 9 years I've owned the car.

The S2 and Cossie pump are not the same. I thought this and was corrected, apparently they have a higher flow rate

 

thanks for the help and info
