914World.com _ 914World Garage _ FI Fuel Pump Pressure Reduction

Posted by: rickso71 Jun 30 2005, 04:49 AM

My 1.7L has been converted to carb. and not sure if I can just add a pressure reducer after the fuel pump or need a new low pressure pump.

The stock pump has a provision for "return to the tank". If you use a pressure regulator with it, get the one that also has a "return to the tank". Mallory makes one as I remember.

Otherwise, just buy a FACET pump and use a pressure regulator inline with no return to the tank.

Using the FI pump on carbs is a very good way to end up with a barbecued 914.

Buy a facet pump and put it on the car, or put the FI back and use the current pump.
