well you must have had a funny 1.4 pump as the 16V is twice the size and any 16V they have been fitted to doesn;t run well at all!
Seen a few and the latest was the white 16V which was transformed with the 16V pump.
and as always theres 2 ways to do things the right way or the wrong way! I wouldn't be happy running it lean and getting it hot. |

well like i say, mine was fine. i had a 16v pump for it, but never got round to fitting it!
besides, running lean actually reduces peak combustion temps.......cue the wrath of arguments!!! |

running lean does indeed lower peak temps but theres no need to unless you have regulations stipulating it.
Lean burn uses every bit of the fuel but when theres a shit head and chamber there doing the burning its of no benefit.
Yet another area where manufacturers are crap!
Schakal the bigger engines need more fuel so they use a bigger pump simple as that.
It will run with the smaller pump but in my experience it will not be happy at full throttle. |

1.4 pump = 3 bars of pressure and a flow rate of 0.83 litres per minute.
1.8 16v pump = 3 bars again but a flow rate of 2.16 litres per minute.
Quite significant difference i'm sure you will all agree.
New question for you guys also.
When removing my 1.4, can i get the gearbox free of the driveshafts without removing the roadwheels? as i have limited space down the side of my car. |

the 16V pump is more than 3 bars btw, its 3.5 bar regulator on the rail.
no the wheels have to come off |
