Can this be installed at any time without it causing any issues ie will it pump more fuel or only when mapped as I want to install it to get it out the way but I'm not havin it mapped for a while yet!!
-
yes fit it without any problems.
-
takes a hr to fit,
pointless changing it for the sake of it, just let niki change it when it comes to mapping?! :undecided:
-
Still waitin for him to get back to me!! :rolleyes:
Just wanna do somethin to it that won't mess the running of it up!
And as its sittin there doin nothin I'd rather it be in the car :wink:

1 hr to fit a fuel pump come on more like 15mins. If you can do it yourself then fit it, less time for nick to be messing around with things you could of done yourself and more time mapping your car.

I can do it all :smug: just not injectors or maf till I get there..... (still gotta build my hybrid) :evil:
-
Ur takin ur time with all this! You on holiday again ?! :grin:

bang it in there now mate.
many stock fuel pumps get tired at ko3S st2 anyway, mine couldn't keep up at 240bhp years ago, was running 0.5 bar behind boost pressure and leaning out to high 13's and 14's because the pump couldn't keep up and the ME3.8 was too stupid to do anything about it! Eek!
-
Im going stage 2 and R Tech said to just replace the old pump for a new standard one.........
and that I dont need S3 injectors or a 3" MAF
-
on a ko3S std injectors and maf are fine. The parts are quite well matched in that they all reach their limit around the same point at ~240bhp.
-
I want to try and get as close to 250 as I can, because it wont be going above a K03s and this is the last map, its a stage 1 at the moment and this is the last in terms of engine tuning I will be doing so want to do all I can and then get the stage 2 done
-
on a small port ARZ motor I'd set your sights on 230bhp and be very happy if you reach it. The honest truth is that there are almost no cars out there making a genuine 250bhp from a ko3S, and those that are are right on the limit and don't maintain that level for many miles before things start to give up.
Figures are pretty meaningless anyway, as it's all about how it drives.
I assume you'll be getting Niki to map it?
-
Its around 200bhp at the moment so as much as I can get would be good
not sure who is doing it yet

absolutely spot on there's alot of people on here saying they want to push there ko3 turbo to 250bhp how long do you think it will last?
-
so prawny what bhp you think il be looking at with a hybrid then as i got small ports too :embarassed:
-
I think most people with hybrid ko3's are seeing figures ranging from 260bhp on a basic setup, up to 280 ish on an all singing all dancing setup with WMI and the like
-
Bugger all this talk of wmi I keep looking and thinking...... :rolleyes:
I'll be happy with 275 :wink:
