TBH take it off replace with a bosch and throw in bin lol,

they arnt too bad but your limited dont think many have ran over 140BHP,

Louis123 ran 127bhp on lucas with tuning at USC few weeks back but if you want more power and less smoke go down the bosch route,

Lucas are very smokey as the boost compensator has very little effect

Haha fair enough.
Is it a lot of work to change the pumps tho?

Its not so much that Lucas are useless like CJ says, you can still get respectable power out of them its just bosch are better made ans easier and do produce more power generally

But kinda agree.. just get a bosch

You'll need to change the cambelt (and pump and tensioner whilst your there) lines and injectors too. Might need to modify or get a new bracket too

I'm not looking for massive power but might look into it anyway.
Is it just a case of taking the one off and putting the other on or is there more to it

[4WayDiablo]

See my above post. You'll have to change a few things.
If your looking at anything more than a simple stage 1 (approx 120-130bhp) then a change to Bosch is the done thing

Sorry dude missed that bit at the bottom of the post lol.
I'll get a bosch anyway just in case.
How much they going for ruffly?

[4WayDiablo]

I'd expect around 70 with lines and injectors
Then a cam belt kit on top and depending how handy you are with a spanner...

[Check30]

That's not bad
And I know someone who will do the work free so that's not a problem.

Found a bosch pump but its not got the injecters are these going to be hard to get hold of?

[CJ_Derv]

Shouldnt be too hard to find, lood for certain Citroens too 306's arnt the only cars to have this engine in just make sure they are the correct ones and not N/A ones as the break pressures are different

I got a full setup of a Xantia Dturbo

Just to add to CJ's post, you are looking for the bosch injectprs from a 306, 406, zx, or a xantia. Most of these will be '93-~'98
