1293 Turbo neon - Rebuild Pt2
Turbo Mini Forums

Picked up a MG metro cam today, will i be ok using the existing followers? They look pretty new

Unless they are brand new and you know it get new ens.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

For the sake of £13 i will get some.

Let me know when you are free John

At the moment i am using this fuel pump

will this still be fine to use?

Unfortunately not - because the float chamber has to be pressurised the fuel pump has to be able to supply 4psi more than the boost pressure you are running.

Any EFI inline pump will be fine in it's place and you'll need a rising rate regulator - such as the metty turbo one.

i have a filter king fuel pressure regulator so that should be ok?

just the pump i need?

cheers

No mate you need a turbo FPR

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Just look out for a Mpi fuel tank, nice and easy mate.

Cheers guys, i think i will go with the MPI tank since the pumps built in. Nice and neat.

Got a few things done earlier

Primed up the flywheel housing, painted the timing cover and back plate black.

Added new cam followers

Also remember you need two fuel lines.

Is the second line for the fuel return?

Yes mate.

Guys is it worth me investing in a uprated timing gear set?

Dont want to waste the money if i can spend it else where

They make setting the cam timing easier. If not get a set of offset keys.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

It will make it easier for you to set it for me you mean john?

You still free to help me sort it out?

fuel pressure reg from minispares worth it? or can you recommend a better/cheaper option?

It's as cheap as anywhere else that you will get a new one these days.

Lots of parts arrived today

Just a thought, will I still need the choke cable when running megajolt?

Yes. Choke cable goes to the carb to richen it up a bit for cold starting.

Hey nick nice work with the engine looking really good.

I to have had dealings with kappa and the result was much like you I don't even think he knows he lying any more very poor.

I agree with everyone else just start a complete rebuild at least that way its done right.

Keep up the good work mate

Cheers apbellamy

Tony what did he sting you with? it's beyond me how somebody can be so stupid and carry on thinking he has done nothing wrong.
Thanks though mate.

apparently he knows how to build engines and has been doing it for years!

Even i know 1 goes with 3 and 4 goes with 2........

Or is that something else im thinking of .....
