Mainly for the guys that track their car's but i was wondering what fuel pumps you use for the s50 convsersion, do you use the series 1 e30 twin fuel pumps with a swirl pot? or do you use a better intank fuel pump or what?

Thanks

If the S50 in question is the S50B30, then any standard E30 pump is fine. If it's the S50B32, you will need to upgrade, as this engine runs with 5 bar of fuel pressure instead of 3 bar on the S50B30, and will not be up to the job.
