Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

Thanks Vlad, sounds like a good insurance measure to have the check valve.

So long as I can fit it in the confines I have I'll be using a check valve then. :thumbup:

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

Damn. Vlad, I misread the link to the filter you sent me. I saw 40m in the title & read it as 40mm. I see that it's actually 1.97" so 50mm. :( So I kept looking & turned to the manufacturer I chose to purchase all my fuel parts from, Speedflow, and their 601 & 602 series filters are...

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

Thanks Vlad. Narrowest I've found so far is 50mm which is border-line for my needs but this 40mm unit will be perfect. :thumbup: I've considered a smaller pump but I've had no luck Googling suitable alternatives. Have you got any links to pumps which are smaller? If I could find a pump that has the ...

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

My understanding is a damper will help keep the fuel delivery at the nozzle stable across the range of PW and frequency as having no damper it is possible to get weird resonance in fuel pressure pulses and the timing of opening/closing of the injectors which can result in certain PW/frequencies und...

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

Thanks for the replies guys. I've been reading up on the damper and some say keep it, others say ditch it. I've read that without a damper low pulse widths at the injectors, as in during idle, can cause erratic behaviours so I'm not sure whether to keep it or not, and as this is all a completely new...

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

While Googling to try and figure out an elegant solution for the placement of the pump, filter & damper, I've read that the damper can also be placed in the return line. Using the OEM damper as found on early GMH EFI cars as shown below is there any problem with placing the damper in the return ...

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

I have the same concerns about it being too close to the tyre in case of a blowout or other debris being flung up. There's no chance of running an in tank pump without completely redesigning the tank. I considered running a swirl pot in the engine bay with the pump, damper & filter and feeding t...

Re: Chuff's MK1 Escort

Well progress has stopped on this project for the last 18 months. Life, COVID, lock-downs & half way through moving house pretty much saw to that. Still busy with a few things but am able to find time here and there to do some tasks required to get this project back on track. Right now I'm tryin...
