If you've got a bit of mechanical savvy, and a relatively basic tool kit, you can do it yourself for the extra satisfaction. There are plenty of guides out there, for both Bosch and Lucas fuel pumps. Do you know which pump you have? If not, stick a pic of your engine bay up, and we'll tell you in no time which one you're running.
RE: 306 dturbo - danblp - 06-02-2016
its a lucas pump i have lots of tools and a garage to use haha just dont wanna f*ck it as its daily atm
RE: 306 dturbo - WiNgNuTz - 06-02-2016
Yeah, well the Lucas is a bit harder to do as you have to actually open and drain the pump, but I did it on my daily, as long as you're careful and don't try to Max the fuel screw out in one sitting, you shouldnt have a problem.
RE: 306 dturbo - danblp - 06-02-2016
ah fair enough maybe i should look for a bosch pump? , do i need a boost gauge to check anything?
RE: 306 dturbo - WiNgNuTz - 06-02-2016
I'd plumb a boost gauge in, for peace of mind if nothing else.
They're not exactly bank breaking money, and at least you can keep an eye on how much boost you're making. And if you can find yourself a decent Bosch, then go for it, I only ever had the Lucas on mine.
RE: 306 dturbo - danblp - 06-02-2016
ill get a boost gauge and have a fiddle tommorow with it haha anything else i can do?
RE: 306 dturbo - WiNgNuTz - 06-02-2016
If you're giving it a tune, might as well have a nose about underneath, work out what Turbo you're running, and how to turn the wastegate up as well. Depends how far you want to go with it really. I'd turn the pump up a bit, and adjust the wastegate to suit. When I did mine, I ended up tweaking it a good few times before I was happy enough to leave it for a while, but I'd rather do it in small increments and be happy with it, than turn it right up in one hit and throw a rod in the first 5 miles.
RE: 306 dturbo - danblp - 06-02-2016
yeah haha ill keep adjusting it accordingly cone filter worth putting on or just stock?
RE: 306 dturbo - WiNgNuTz - 06-02-2016
Tbh, a cone filter will give you a good case of heatsoak, if you can remove the restriction in the pipework, the standard airbox is better than a cone filter, though I was running mine without a filter, just took it off at the turbo.
RE: 306 dturbo - danblp - 07-02-2016
haha might look into a front mount
