318 fi swap fuel pump ?

[beachbumberry]

hey all,

so i picked up a complete e30 1.8 m10 with all the fuel injection parts (was running in july when i helped pull it to swap in an m50) that i plan on putting into the 2000. Question was about the fuel pump. I've had bad expiriences with BMW pumps in the past, so i was thinking i'd buy a new pump. Any thoughts on this one?

It seems to be a reasonable price, and comes complete. Thoughts?

though i have found the scrap yard by my house has them for 30gbp so i may give a used one a shot!

it looks like it will work. take a look at bills writeup on the e30 pump upgrade. they are pricy and you will also need the fuel sender. the writeup should have all the info for that. you need a tii tank though if i remember right.

why would it need the tii tank? is the pump hole different than the normal tank or is it just cause it has the return? i'd planned on adding a return to the tank

No need for a tii tank. A stock 02 tank will work fine.
