Diesel mechanical fuel pumps to fit ECU Controlled Engines

[phil munga]

:-) I've not been on the forum that much lately , I've been very busy building hybrid fuel pumps to power engines that were once controlled by an ECU controlled fuel pump,

What this means is that later engines can be fitted into older vehicles , to give an idea the VW TDi engines , also looking at BMW engines from the 325TD as fitted to range rovers . the Mercedes sprinter 412 type engine

I've also built a pump to work some 220/300bar injectors that I'm going to fit to a Peugeot HDi engine , the injectors from a 300TDi landrover will fit the Peugeot HDi but the ones I looked at only operate at 200bar ,

 

I've been told that the later 300TDi injectors work at 200/300bar but cant find any information to back this up

Good luck with that project - very worthwhile thing to do. I know of one very good vehicle which was scrapped because the cost of a new ECU was more than the vehicle was worth.

 

I'd be very interested to learn what is involved with this task. Are these engines common rail system or conventional pump / injector?

Hi Thank you N.O.S, what type of vehicle was scraped ?

 

I've built up a few , ones fitted to a pals camper , he'd had a VW TDi engine for twelve years unable to get it running after trying to wire up an ECU or the many pumps tried ,, I built up a pump fitted primed and away it went

 

Another that I've assembled is to be fitted to a common rail engine , on a few common rail engines the injectors can be swapped for the old school type that are clamped in :-)

It was an imported ISUZU Trooper. A nice one too.

Hi, not to familiar with the later type injection set-up on them ,

There is much interest in the 3 litre BMW TD diesels. I was toying with the idea of buying one with auto gearbox

[phil munga]

What year BMW engine would that be , not sure if the 3.0l was available with a VE style pump but the later VP30 VP37 VP44 can be quite troublesome and costly to repair :-)

there was a thread on a Pinz forum of a BMW 3.0 litre fitted but never seen the full story.

 

Pity sounded like a grand idea

[phil munga]

Yes the bmw would be ideal in the pinz , but like your pinz with the 5 cyl engine it would be posible to bolt in the 2.5TDi engine with the correct fuel pump
