Yeah as ste said, just swap the pump.
so techniaclly then.............i have an outside mounted fuel pump(which as someone says....gets attacked by the elements...and rusts like fook)
but this can b inserted into the spi tank with no problems.and to be honest....would b a better job as far as im concerned as the old external pump bracket and all arround it is badly corroded....and would probably have been needing changed anyway 2 make a decent job of it
no, you need a specific internal mpi pump, eg, corsa one's are all internal,
so the 16v models use the mpi internal pump
on my old tank, im sure it was a corsa c mpi pump, cant remember off the top of my head though
rite.so i still need 2 loacte/burgal a different style pump from anotehr car
i dont suppose a cavalier internal pump is in anyway similar..........i ive still the whole car that the sri 8 valves coming out of
Corsa has a different fitment.Quote:

You've given me loads of idears for my little white 1 thanks and good luck with sorting the tank out.
looking good there, i'm so tempted to bite the bullet and get me a 1.6 16v with a power box, bound to be some astra 1.6 16v going cheap to have the engine out of :cool:

mines and internal pump...............like that in the picture as far as i know
will the pump off that do the for my spi tank.......
im liking the idea of this more and more............means i can ditch the whole external set up.....as its a bloody rust catcher to be honest
I use the same setup on my 1.6 8v: SPI tank and Astra mk3 MPI internal pump. Works a treat.
Ad looking good, I agree the black strut brace suits the engine bay perfectly. Might have to start stealing some of your ideas. lol

Cheers lads. :)
yes, well executed transplant.. nice one. Have to check it out sometime.
Looking good mate, I am really liking white Nova's at the minute at yours looks top :thumb:
Great choice in engine aswell I really like the c16xe motor, and also fancy turbo'in it eventually aswell rather than going c20let but the ?3000 will take a while to save! Was that was of those M-Vaux ones?, not a bad price for what you get!
I've got those rims and I love em!
Nice looking Nova :thumb:
Makes me wondering if i should paint my bumbers also black/grey...They are white now.
Cheers for the comments.
I always prefer grey/black bumpers on a white car. :)
Got fed up waiting for someone to break a spi, for its fuel tank.
So just ordered a new one, ?53 delivered :)
Another Big up to BuyPartsBy, delivered within 2 days of ordering.
Top service.

get it painted up black :D
Nahhhhhooo
Silver.
Or i might just laquer the bare metal.
black hides the dirt, and it will get dirty under the car, so silver will look black soon enough lol
Depends if you wash under the car.....
The laquer will discolour anyway, so you wont retain that finish unless you leave it bare-metal & polish it.
I say Silver bottom half & black top half.
just read this from page 1! really good! car looks minted..

Cheers :)
I'll give the tank a quick wash out with petrol, and get it fitted asap.
Awesome adam. Didn't realise you'd done so much top work on it. Didn't even know you had carbs for a while or even had a baby valver fitted. LOL
I need to get on here a bit more often i think.
Well done mate it looks brill. :thumb:
ad i always liked your car. looks funking mad now! good to see you got your wheels on too! and the engine! good work mate!
