Fitting S3 Pump

[PhilW]

From what i understand i need to modify the pump to get it to fit, is this a case of just blocking off the second pickup or is there more?

Also, will i need to swap the floats?

Thanks.

LCR one no good for you. simpler.

 

[PhilW]

I got an S3 one tho.

I belive it is just the pickup pipe from what i can remember reading, i never swapped the floats when i installed the LCR pump and it seems to read correctly.

Testing out my theory?

 

[PhilW]

Yeah, gonna see if it makes difference and it cant harm can it.

 

[__B3NNY__]

Unless my std ibiza pump was knackerd it made a hell of a difference.

IIRC you sufferd the same revo stg2 pulling back from low RPM as i did, after the pump was fitted it was totally gone.

Managed to fit it yet?

i went through 3 second hand ones before i bought a new one.

hope its new philw.

i believe you also gota join 2 wires

 

[PhilW]

Its second hand so ill try it and see how it goes. Ive always got the standard one to fall back on anyway.

 

[PhilW]

Any more info before i sort this out this week?

block the second line.... that's what ian did with his

 

[PhilW]

ian_cupra? Ill give him a shout about it.

 

[Mat]

yeah

I was there when we/he did it. had a r32 pump IIRC

 

[ian_cupra]

sorted it mate?

 

[PhilW]

Nah not yet, didnt have chance last night, i can see what you did tho, remove the top/back part of the original and use the pump part of the new one.

Ill take some pics when im doing it.

How long did it take in all Ian?

 

[ian_cupra]

the longest bit is getting the pump back in, but no more than half an hour really.

you just trying it out on your k03s?

 

[PhilW]

I thought that might be the case.

Yeah just putting it on for extra safety and future developments. I'll probably run a 255lph Walbro as well at some point just to make sure.

Am i wasting a thread here, is it that obvious what needs doing when i take my old one out?

 

[ian_cupra]

pretty much mate, i worked it out straight away, like you say, once you get old one out its simple to see what needs doing

 

[Robbie C]

There's pics in my project thread too Phil if you need any for reference

 

[PhilW]

Thanks robbie, i thought you had an LCR one, ill check it out now.

 

[ian_cupra]

i think he has got an LCR one, but same concept apart from blocking the extra feed pipe.
