I have webers on my car. The fuel goes to a fuel pressure regulator and its at the correct fuel pressure for the webers. But I was wondering if you can put a mechanical fuel pump on the type 4 like you can with the VW. Where they made for that or strictly electronic fuel pump.

Yes you can. Have a bus 1.7 in the garage that had a mech fuel pump. But why would you want to ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Only a relatively few engines are set up for mechanical fuel pumps. The boss for the pump is near the flywheel, on the bottom, on the 1 & 2 side. If your case wasn't set up from the factory, you're out of luck.
So if you insist on it, you need to search for a motor that was set up that way at the factory. Then you can build that motor into any displacement/setup you want. Of course, I wouldn't run a 'built' motor on a mechanical setup. Long story, short: use an electric pump. Especially since the 914 is set up to use one from the factory. |
