[mistrall 0]

ok not shure how to ask but when i took the c to the mechanic a while back he noticed somthing that was part of the origianal 16v fueling systrm near the fuel pump or part of it i dont know and sead to me - oo you shouldn't have that on there that will realy restrict you with a 20v installed, problem is i dont know what it was - any ideas?

dude hows it

 

call him and ask him :D

hey mate yea all good :)

- cant call him, think hes moved on :(

well ther's only the pump, filter and pressure accumulator, so I'd imagine it was the accumulator.

oo nice one! :) should that still be on there with the 20vt and would it make any diference do you think ?

you'll be wanting to bin the accumulator... it's a royal PITA, and seriously expensive should you ever want to replace it... It's only needed for K-Jetronic systems, so with a 20VT, you can happily rip it out and connect the pipe to the engine directly to the pump (via an high pressure rated filter of course!!!)

thanks mate shes going to dubmeister this week so ill get it off :camp:

Is it this part? This was my accumulator before it was replaced this week... (ignore the blue circle!)

yeh agreed as above, that's the accumulator and only needed on mechanical fuel injection to maintain fuel pressure when fuel pump is off

 

presume you'll get better fuel pressure to your rail with that removed

[Henny 0]

yup, that's the little buggah...

 

You won't get better fuel pressure to the fuel rail, but it will be more instantaneous pressure from cold as the pump won't have to prime up the accumulator before the pressure gets to the rail... 8)
