xe conversion

[partytownsri]

can i use my standard sri fuel pump for the xe engine thanks.

[carnoisseurcraig]

Yes you can mate. as teh SRI is a multi injection set up the fuel pump is the same as the GSI's so fire away

[partytownsri]

thank you mate

[Paul]

think it flows 20 psi, the xe's flow 21psi, so u may starve it a little if you boot it for ages, i used a cally 16v on my xe

[loggyboy]

lol at 1 psi making ANY diference

[Adam]

Yup it'll be fine.

[partytownsri]

can you tell me if i need to use a coil off a xe or can i use a different 1 because i need to get 1 cheers guys

[Paul]

lol at 1 psi making ANY diference

JU ssaying the facts, also the xe's use fuel dampeners, the gsi's etc dont, they do stutter and hesitate if the gsi pump is worn, beleive u me

[Paul]

XE/LET coil

hmm in not sure it will be ok.well it will be O.K..... but ive raced a few of my friends xe'd novas in my old xe nova.
all the xe's that had 1.4 fuel pump i beat quite easily. but then after they changed to a cally pump. the races were more even.

[Paul]

Im nlot the only one with that experience then!

[Rx Jamie]

nope. it really is quite noticeable isnt it. its one of the most important things for a reliable xe conversion imo.

i was always getting asked why mine was so fast. answer was always the same. CHANGE YOUR PUMP lol
my mates xe corsa blew his rings and burnt a few of his exhaust valves out because it ran so lean at high revs.

[Paul]

the gsi ones are fine but if theyre high mileage and blocked up with ****, then you should change them, i know the same goes for the cally ones etc, but never had a **** cally/cavastra one,only **** nova ones!
