fuel system upgrade


ZBock60

Recommended Posts

I want to upgrade my fuel system this winter. I want to go with an electric fuel pump to deliver the fuel. What is gpm is need for a dual 40 setup? I have found that a low pressure pump is needed ie, 4 or less psi. I think the last piece in my puzzle is the proper gpm.

Thanks for any help or recommendations.

mechanical pump? It was plenty adequate for the dual sidedraft Solexes on 2002ti's and the dual Webers on 1800TISAs...

Mechanical pumps are quieter, last longer and are more troublefree than electric...IMHO and 41 years of 2002 experience, where I've had to change one pump in 450,000+ miles.

......" there is a need to switch to electrc unless switching to fuel injection?" = dat's correct.

infact - that would be a DOWNGRADE in reliability

Thanks for the info Mike. It doesn't sound like there is a need to switch to electrc unless switching to fuel injection.

Or if your new head does not have the holes for the mechanical pump like my NOS 1985 cast E21

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
