SuperRallyRoo Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I need to know because my fuel pump for my unturboed wagon just crapped out on me because its hardwired to an accessory lead. I think it can't stand the constant power when its at idle. So I need to know if I where to hook it up to the turbo plug at the back of the car if it would even work or not? I do not have the ecu hooked up. I'm hoping its controlled by the disty advance somehow but i'm not sure. I also need to know how the ea81 n/a is controlled if its the same way or not? Any help would be great! Please help me!:-\ I forgot to mention I did swap out the fuel pump when I did the swap with a n/a fuel pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 The fuel pump on the '82 Brat I had was wired directly and it seemed to work fine. I don't recall were it was wired to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRallyRoo Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 So might it have been a cheapo crappy pump? It was pretty loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 When the engine is running, they are always powered. Did you replace the pump with a carbed pump? They are VASTLY different pressure wise...... the turbo pump should not work with a carb anyway - the pressure is so high it would flood the carb out. Get a Carter electric pump from summitracing.com or something. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
