T40 gurru's

[General Baxter]

right im bulidng a 1650cc T40 enigne,

going to put this into my 1L, now my 1L dont have a fuel return!,

was thinking of fitting the 1300 carb fuel pump and t-peicing it!

could that work of my 1L tank or will in need an injection tank and regu, or a 1300 or 1400 carb tank with a fuel return?

[slammed saloon]

i think a 1.2 tank has a fuel return too

[Riggy]

fit a 1.2/1.3/1.4 carb tank and run a return down to it and also fit a regulator aswell as mech feul pumps at to high pressure

[General Baxter]

doh do i have too!

i dont want to get my car in the air :roll:

[Adam]

Why?
might experience flashbacks? :lol:

[General Baxter]

I don't have a fuel return on mine.

[Dan]

same as nathan, never had one on mine

[General Baxter]

but looking at your photos you have a return pipe to the tank!

have you planked that off?

[Snowface]

don't need a fuel return. Get a fuel pressure regulator put after the mechanical fuel pump and that will sort it.

[nathan.]

Just blanked the return pipe off now.

[Dan]

only pipes on mine are the big fuel feed inside from the pump, and the single feed brake line to the rears alongside it,

[General Baxter]

just been looking at your photos snowy!

so i will beable to use my 1L tank and single line?

use the 1300sr cam housing and mechanical fuel pump, then put a fuel pressure regulator on?


that correct?

[nathan.]

yep.
thats what i'm using.
gte head with sr cam casing, mechanical pump with regulator.

[Snowface]

i'm using same as nathan. It also save messing around with the crankcase breather crap in the GTE/GSI cam carrier.

Btw Baxter, that pic was taken before i got my fpr.

thats where i got my fpr mounted. The mechanical pump feeds it, then it goes into carb's like shown.

There keith is using an electric fuel pump somewhere else to feed it.

[General Baxter]

will the 1L fuel pipe be thick enought to supply the webbers?

or should i fit a bigger Inner diameter pipe?

[General Baxter]

somebody do me a favour please

messure from the back of your carbs, (no trumps from the carb itself) to the 'firewall'

thankyou please :D

[Snowface]

its about 95mm from the carb's to the bulkhead.

[Stuart]

about 300mm on mine.... oops no firewall lol
