mk2 and 3 fuel setups

[chrismac89]

do the mk2 and 3 have the same setup, as in do they have the main pump and an in tank one?
if they do can they be swapped over?
cheers

At a guess the MK3 has a different tank so mounting the main pump from each other would be slightly different?
I've never owned a MK3 so can't confirm that, but my guess is NO.

Why do want to change the main pump have you tested it? Can you hear it prime?

am putting a 16v engine in my car that started out as a 1.3, i have the main under car pump but not the intank one and was wondering if they are the same setup,
so i could just swap the two over.
cheers

I would have bought the tank lift pump off a donnor car (MK2 16V)
Plus I think you need the other pump under the car as 1.3 doesn't have one I think?
If you have a 1.3 pump under the car I dont think its strong enough to handle the 16V?
Which means you need the fuel lines plus relay and other bits to the fuse board.

okay cool one thing off the list 
You using stock loom from 1.3?
Will you change the hubs and drive shafts does yours have PAS?
Sorry I'm just trying to establish what you have and have not done yet?

Haaaa you're converting a 1.3 MK3 right? 

[chrismac89]

no am converting a mk2 lol.
i have fitted the 16v loom and driveshafts, have binned off the pas as i prefer witout tbh.
and done the brakes so literally jus have the fuelling to sort out.
cheers

FAIL.  Power steering is a quicker rack.

IIRC it's possible to fit a G3 tank with the lift and pressure pump assembly as one in the tank, removing the under-car pressure unit.  Nige on here has done it, I think.

Obviously you're going to update your V5 with the new engine size, aren't you?
