as some of you may know ive got a 1.4sr shell and a 1.6 e16se to fit, so i kept my spi tank, do i just get a gte/gsi fuel pump? and im planning on turboing it so will standard fuel pump do or will i need an uprated one??...

gsi pump mate iirc and if your going to turbo it i would use the gte tank with a bosh 044 external pump but the standerd should do the job fine buddy depending on what power you will be running.

not sure on power mate, the courtney 1.6 8vs were 150bhp....

not use the spi tank and external pump?

put a mpi internal pump in your spi tank, easiest option for you

no sure mate, just seen its an alternative to external pumps, you cant use an external gte/gsi pump because the gte/gsi sender unit that also has the output tube on it wont fit your tank due to it bolting in and your sender will be twist in,

I have a Astra F 2.0l pump in mine, any in tank pump from a Cav, Cali, Astra will do the job

You may be able to run the standard pump on the turbo, Wouldn't be a bad idea to change it when turboing though. If you read up on it more you will understand.
