F7P conversion - MK2 Golf GTi fuel pump?

Post by Jonofdoom » 03 Aug 2011 09:01 am

I read on here somewhere about using a MK2 gti fuel pump as it's a pump, filter, and mini swirl pot all in one.

Question is, which one do I need?

There seems to be two types, one for digifant injectin, one for kjet injection.

I believe the digifant pumps are a lone unit, and the kjet pumps also need an in tank pump.

I'm confused as hell about this, any advice appreciated.

Although to be honest I'm not dead set on using one, it just seems like a cheap way of getting swirl pot filter and pump all in one. Any other ways of doing this on the cheap would be cool too.. I've not got much money!

My evo pump cost me a fiver... it's a favoured upgrade for them so all the standard ones appear on the bay with low mileage ;)

Have to admit I don't know much about these kind of fuel pumps, I only have spanner experience with mechanical ones (dam tractors mostly) and my simple facet pump for a carbed beetle engine - this is actually my main problem if i'm totally honest!

Mines in tank bud, variation on a theme of Adam's unit (Adam made it with random parts I found laying round ;))
