tii fuel pump options

[1965ek]

Car will hesitate, mostly when warmed up. I have a thread going on this under "tii fuel pressure check".

I have not noticed any hesitation at all and and it runs good at any speed. (an interesting thing is that I have 2 fuel filters by mistake... I thought that there where no filter at all following the fuel line so I simply replaced the old pump with a new filter. After some weeks I needed to pull out the battery, and discovered that there actually where a filter installed under the battery so at present I do have two...)

I will check out your thread

how does the depth of the fuel pick up compare to a stock 02 pickup? the part numbers here match to the e30 325 pump. the e30 318is pump is part number

or

16141180233

is the 318is pump mentioned as "the one to have" in other threads a deeper pickup? i am thinking not since all those e30's appear to use the same fuel tank part number.

so what is different about the e30 318is pump vs the e30 325 pump?

this is the e30 pre-pump....much shorter than 02 one.

So, could work on a carb'd fuel tank? And then wire the pump into the jumper under the left side of the dash on a late car? -Or is this Tii tank only? (-which I have as well..)

[M3M3]

any tank. they all have the same size hole.

pump on non-tii car should be wired to separate circuit with relay and fuse.

these pumps are NOT for use with a car running carbs. way too much fuel pressure.

[eurotrash]

Understood. Thanks!

I have a complete 318i EFI kit.

I too wanted to thank Bill. Hit set-up worked on my tii clone. perfect and steady 28psi.

NOW TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE IDIOT LIGHT WITH THE 3RD WIRE. ANYONE?

God bless you Bill.

Did we figure out which one was the one to have?  Any difference since it fits where the sender was and there is not baffle like the Tii pickup area is?  Does it go all the way to the bottom of the tank?  I am hating the loud buzz of the external pumps... I cannot even hear the exhaust!!!

I would only guess to say if you had a 2002 with carbs and a fuel regulator in the engine compartment lowering the pressure to (x) Psig, would it still work??? I would really welcome all of your comments.

 

Thank You in Advance !!!!

No.

Efi pumps have way to much pressure to regulate down to carb levels

No.

Thank you for the reply mlytle. Question i was also thinking on doing a E30 S14 conversion if I can purchase one reasonably, would this setup work for that type of Efi system ??

[M3M3]

Yes, but not likely to find an s14 reasonably. $5k seems to be the going rate for just a rebuildable core.

Anyone care to elaborate on this?  Here is what i have.  Doing an e36 m42 swap into my '76 2002 (non tii obviously).  There is no wiring loom that supports the e30 fuel pump that I am using.  I have the fuel pump relay that goes to the e36 harness and need to know how to hook this up.  I have the WD for both cars and understand them pretty well.  I have a relay and was going to use the same Jetta distribution block that ClayW used that has in line fuses incorporated in the dist block.   I just get real nervous "adding" a new circuit.  

 

This might help those that are running EFI in cars that aren't tii.   

 

Thanks,
