Title: Rover 200/300 compared to a Giles Super Pump.
Post by: heywier427 on June 25, 2015, 01:11:14 pm

Read that the Rover 200/300 is capable of 175hp +/-.

Is there really a need to have Giles pump built?

Modifying the Rover pump to fit into the 1.6 block does not sound difficult at all.

I am a noob.  What am I missing?

Thanks.

The LR pump is specifically suited to direct injection engines.  With one fitted to a 1.6, the aggressive timing advance, 11mm plunger and more abrupt camplate profile would all make for a VERY rattly engine.

Yup. You need a pump set up for what you're running. The Rover pump works on TDI engines due to both engines being designed for the same Bosch injection system. An IDI is a different animal.
