Jimbos Justy GTI Hybrid

Well i'll probably have it done and if i dont like it i'll fit an lsd, Garndi told me that theres a company that sells the rear LSD's for £400 which is a very good price.

Yes I have seen your mini, very cool

Jimbo has been a bit busy on his other project, so no further forward but he is mobile now

wot the hell is that? lol
got a moped engine or sumthing?

Its a Piaggio Ape & can be driven at 16 with L plates & CBT, its a 50cc moped engine honestly officer

sweet

wots really in it, spill...................

He can only have a 50cc that is restricted to 30mph by law, so that's what's in it;)

Hi im in the middle of doing the same conversion. im now doing my homework on the mods needed on changing the fuel pump i.e, what part number pump i need, is it a straight swap and is it possible to change without removing the tank.
as i havent investigated as yet

The GTI pump is a straight swap, you will need to drop the rear diff & petrol tank out or VERY carefully cut a hole in the floor above the fuel tank. Fit the pump, then the fuel pump wires will need to be extended if you are using a GTI loom, the pink wire runs from the relay / ecu, the black is an earth.
Good luck with it.

Cheers Jerry, thats handy to know, would you happen to have a part number for the GTI pump so i can order a new one before i do the swap?

Cheers, Matt.

it is not same on 1.0 cars am i right?

Not sure of part number, but I am sure if you posted on here in the wanted section somebody would have one. If not then buy a Walbro 255, easy fit & better than the GTI one.

Don't know about the 1.0 but it cant be that hard if it runs an internal fuel pump.

Jerry

My justy is the 1.3 with Single Point Injection, so do i even need to change the pump?
Sorry to be a pain but i am learning on the way.
cheers, matt.

If you are fitting the GTI engine you will need to change the pump, the standard one wont be powerful enough.

Regards

Jerry

well my car is runing on a 1.0 pump at the minute. seems to be fine

Found a picture of 1.0 pump and it looks to be same fitment as a gti. so will take the tank off on my next day off and fit the gti pumo if they are same dimensions.

How is the project coming on?
I fited my engine yesterday but sadley found out that the inlet manifold fouls the mastercylinder so i think i need a gti one as apossed to the justy one oh well thease things are sent to try us

The plastic canister on the GTI servo has a cut out that misses the inlet manifold, I think you can just swap the canister itself.

Jimbo's car is all rubbed down ready for respray, so not really much to show, will post pics when its done.

Jerry

Thats brill thanks, i just need to locate one now would you have a pic of one i could look at?

They cant cost that much new, its only a plastic container

I just called suzuki they want £86 + vat i nearly fell over

Was the guy in the parts department called Dick Turpin, that's a ridiculous price, stick a post up on here I am sure somebody will have a spare.

LOL Cheers will do

Sorted exhaust, modified Lotus backbox to fit:

why is there a wastegate on the exhaust loool

It connects to the inlet manifold & opens the second exhaust pipe at about 3000 RPM, keeping the car quiet at low revs. So you could say its the loud button
