would one of these work? i could pick this one up as its local

Flow rate seems a bit weak on that one mate. I always associate Facet with carB applications too, which is what that seems to be?

Something like this is what you want imo.

[wiganer31]

yea that seems ok, shame it isnt closer

[foggyjames]

Strange! You found the filter Wiganer...and there's nothing next to it?

Yeah, that Facet one is for carbs - note the pressure it can deliver! Carbs want circa 4psi. Injection rails typically sit at 45psi, and the pump will be capable of more.

The new one is definitely a nice bit of 'security' if you have the budget, but I'd have no problem running a used one if the budget is tight.

there wasnt an inline filter, seems strange to just have a tea bag filter

what pump would you say use james?

cheers

[foggyjames]

There should definitely be an inline filter...I'd say you've either missed it, or someone has mucked about with it. It's a canister roughly the size of large mug, located vaguely under the rear seats on the passenger side. It's on top of a cradle you have to unbolt and swing down...you might not see it just by looking.

If you're buying new, that one Liam linked to is as good as anything. If you're going scrapyard hunting...anything with an inline pump and 200bhp+ should be fine. If you can find a 940 Turbo with an under-car pump, that seems like an obvious choice, but more or less anything with some power will do - like the Cally one mentioned earlier.

cheers

yea sorry missed the filter


what oil dose the 940 lump need? think its done 96k, fule pumps on order, gonna get some fule pipes etc, hopefully try and start it for the first time in the next few days

[wiganer31]

been told 15-40w or 10-30? i dont have a clue

[foggyjames]

10w40 or 15w40 semi synthetic. I tend to use the Fuchs Titan stuff when on a budget. Otherwise, GTX Magnatec. Opie Oils are usually way cheaper than local sources, and do club discounts (look on the VOC forum?).

cheers

[wiganer31]

ive bought some cheap 15 40w stuff just to get it up and running because i want to flush the engine and change the filter and then i will buy some good stuff,

got my fule pump today, bloody quick as i only ordered it at 3,30pm yday, and free delivery

[wiganer31]

could someone send pe a pic of there dipstick? lol, na seriously i dont know how/were to mount/bolt the b200 one that goes into the b200 sump on the 940 engine, it has the little bracket on the dipstick tube that bolts to something?


almost there peoples i really an very greatfull for everyones help on here, and for being patient with me through my many questions and requests, some of them daft lol, thanks alot

[foggyjames]

We just retained the 360 dipstick setup. We didn't have a spare blanking plug for the block, though, so Adam's car actually has two dipsticks at the moment!

cheers

James

[wiganer31]

yea mine has two atm, but i dont know were to bolt the 360 one becaust it has a bracket on, or dose it not need bolting?


cheers

[foggyjames]

I think it bolts onto the inlet manifold...or maybe high up on the block...? Should be obvious...it ought to line up with something!

cheers

James

[wiganer31]

ahh i might have took a little bracket off because it was in the way of the engine mount hope fully someone will have a pic so i can check and hunt for the bracket lol
