What pump do the SRI's have?
Converting mine and only found 1.6 pumps, could i use one and have a bit too much fuel lol?

The same as the GSi, slung under the floor below the bumper.

Too much fuel lol *cough* fuel reg *cough*

Does anyone know the pressure then?

But anyways would it run on the 1.6 pump alright?

EDIT: Dosnt the sri inlet have a pressure reducer built in?

its the regulator that dictates the pressure, not the pump.
The only way you could over pressure the fuel rail is if the flow rate exceeded the volume of the FPR, which is not likely.

im sure a 1.6 pump will be fine.

I know about that but i was thinking about the normal pressure of a gsi one.

what do you mean 'normal pressure'
are you talking about fuel rail pressures between 1.6 and SRI's?

No i mean the normal pressure of the pump itself, But anyways my question has been answerd.

Thanks guys

the pump has no pressure unless its restricted with a FPR to give it a back pressure. fuel pumps are measured in flow-rate.
