16VG60 fuelling

Post

Back to the top
 After some digging around and advice from a few fellow members I think I've settled on how I'm going to set up the fuel system for my 16vg60. 
  When the car was standard there was a problem with fuel delivery meaning that when I cornered hard the engine would misfire. I know people have used standard gti fuel systems on modified engines but seeing as though the swirl pot in my tank is probably no good anymore I thought I'd upgrade. 
  I was thinking of using a late cabrio style system like this;

 By the looks of this diagram the swirl pot, pump and accumulator all fit underneath the car near the tank. Is it possible to fit all of this under the car on a standard gti with a carb tank and cabrio fuel sender? Instead of the accumulator I'd mount a fuel filter in its place.

yep tried n tested setup. as you say no need for the accumulator just the swirl pot. if you can find room for the fuel filter thats also a bonus! the lifter pump wont fit inside a tintop gti tank as the internal swirlpot is in the way but swapping a tintop carb tank as you have mentioned sorts that issue.

on the late cab the swirl pot goes where the tintop accumulator goes, and the accumulator is smaller and squeezed next to the tank. so you may have to fit the filter in the bay if there is no room same as a factory cabrio
