feuling problem

[gammienov16v]

i put i 1.6 gsi engine in my nova this week, it was a 1.2 spi before.

how can i stop the fuel starvation, without buyin a feul swirl pot wen i give it full throttle in a straight line it has littel moments of sputerin, it also spluters and jurkes wen i exit a corner, can anyone help, or point me in the right direction.:confused:

thanks

my 2.0 8v does the same mostly when nail it and change gear
mine does it because it's only running a 1.4 fuel pump,
are you using the gsi fuel pump??

i had the same truble with my 2l 8v and me 2l 16v before i took it out to rebuil it, it realy dose your nut in after awhile. im runnin a 2l feul pump and the presure is right to but i just carn't be botherd to get a swirl pot before i put the 2l 16v lump back in. im not sure wether the built in pump as it was 1.2 spi in the tank is workin eather im going to cheack it tomorrow.

thanks trev

if you are still running the 1200 spi pump in the tank it will not allow the 2.0
fuel pump enough fuel im not 100% but try disconect wiring for the spi pump

cheers trev i will give it a go 2moz mate, see wot happen's

if you cant be bothered to buy a swirl pot then you will be buying a new engine as fuel starvation WILL kill it, it will just pink to death

also a 1.2i fuel pump will not give you the right pressure ,

id suggest that you dont drive the car untill you get it sorted , get your self a corsa or astra mpi fuel pump , this will replace you spi intank one and has a swirl pot built in

im runnin a calibra 2l 8v mpi feul pump withch is mounted under the bonet and the one in the 1.2 spi tank, mate any sugestions.

dont have a pump in the bay , pumps push not suck , remove that and the spi , you dont need 2 pumps ,

fit a mpi corsa or astra into the tank where your old spi pump is , job done :thumb:

If its a SPi tank then it already has a swirl pot, unless the spot weld has broken that holds it in place inside the tank.

As Riggy said, remove bay pump. Unbolt the spi one(6 bolts) under the rear seats. Get a mk3 astra mpi pump, and the whole thing just bolts straight in.
