fuel pump trouble
i need to buy a fuel pump for my 1.3 golf engine and was not sure what kind of pressure needed to run the engine propperly,
i have been told that a FACET SOLID STATE fuel pump would be MY best option and they seem quite good value for money
but some are 3bar - 4bar
and others up to 10bar for the GTI
what kind of pressure will i need
its a 1.3, running a single choke, solex carburettor, jetted for a 1.3
cheers

try a polo gt fuel pump fused and wired to the ignition with a pressure reg (not quite sure what pressure you want to be running though)
keep on dubbing

fuel pump trouble
but where do i find one of them, included with the relay (doesent matter bout wiring, got miles of it)
just a small problem, with it being an N model, it has no rev counter, but i am changing the ignition system to a mk2 golf setup so that i can keep my points and apparently there is a rev counter wire with that so would that be suitable or not?
cheers

itll pump the right pressure for the carb ( 4 to 7 psi approx) .
Dont use a gti electric pump its capable of 60 or 70 psi if its restricted and itll chuck fuel all over the place.
Have a word with your parts supplier, tell them the car, the year, the engine and size etc.

and i dont have the ECU or the pump so having to use bits and bobs from numerous golfs etc to replace the pump
someone told me that a facet solid state fuel pump, fused and wired into the ignition would be substantial, clearley not

I'd imagine even a later rocco/cabrio injection lift pump would probably work with this setup, just need some kind of fuel reservoir (maybe the setup from the same car as the lift pump?) to prevent fuel starvation thru corners

ebay number
110392495774

1 - rev counter input
87 - fuel pump output (fuse this, 20amp)
30 - permanent live
15 - ignition live
31 - earth
as for the ignition system i do have a mk1 electronic ignition loom sat in my garage, but i dont have a suitable vac advance dizzy. only issue is it doesnt have a plug on the hall sensoer wiring,. as i had to nick that for my mates engine when i fitted a mk1 k-jet dizzy to it.
Pins are still there though, you litterally just need a suitable plug houysing that fits your dizzy to pop the pins into

so will that plug into the 3 pin connention off the mk3 polo 1.3 dizzy or plug into any other suitable dizzy with vacuum advance and weighted dizzy
also it needs to be a 1.3 dizzy like you said in a previous post to me so it it suitable for that with other 1.3 parts like the 1.3 tci-h and the coil?
cheers
