Post pics of swirlpot install!
Glade - 8/3/12 at 07:11 AM

Had a quick search, but can't find pics of finished external swirl pot, pump and regulator installs!

Plenty of info about layout & circuit diagrams!!

Please could you stick a pic or two up...

I'm just deciding where to mount all the bits in the back, above the diff so it'd be really useful!

Single seater - only component 'missing' is the inline hp fuel filter which was mounted near the throttle bodies.

Here's mine down NSR of the engine bay

£1 swirl pot from ali tube
£1 swirl pot from ali tube


Its just a bit of 2" ali pipe capped with a disc and hole in the middle to stop sloshing

Return to tank out the top

LP pump and EFI return feeds in at an angle near the top to make it swirl.

Fuel out to HP pump out the bottom

I recognise that!

So do a few others on here probably!

Everything was such a tight squeeze!

Fantastic, thanks guys!

Removed the "boot", and have a panel to go accross as a boot lid - attached with quick release fastners.
This is the space I have to play with - how would you do it?

I'm thinking of mounting the swirlpot and reg on the bulkhead as shown in the photo.

The facet LP pump would be better vertical so you can easily remove the filter from below.

Are you running a seperate EFI return direct to the tank ?

No I was going to run a single new line forward, keeping the regulator in the boot area... there is already a fuel line in place from my carb setup but it's probably the original from 1994.

I think it might be a bit crowded putting a third fuel line down the tunnel, but it IS doable.

I was considering making a panel that attaches to the bulkhead so there is a vertical surface to mount everything onto, and all the bits are lifted up off away from the diff & driveshafts.

like this...
