1.9l IDI Industrial use diesel question...
« on: March 19, 2009, 04:23:27 pm »
Hello everyone!
I have a 1.9l IDI industrial use VW engine installed in my 81 rabbit. It has some goodies such as a front mount, boost controller, and a straight pipe exhaust. Car runs amazing, makes awesome power, but my question is this...

The industrial grade motors have something different in the governor that make them hang a RPM, rather then be progressive and accelerate slowly.

Example- if I give my car about 1/4 throttle from a dead stop the car will quickly move up to about 1500rpm and just sit there until i give it more. It wont slowly speed up like my other diesels have. Does anyone know how to adjust the GOV  to make it act more like a normal car? Spring/shim, something inside that things gotta be able to be changed.
Thanks!

WHere do you live?  I have heard that those types of ip's are great for generators.  Where did you get a industrial?

You need the governor spring assembly for a car rather than an industrial motor.  The industrial engines are designed to act exactly the way you are describing - they try to achieve a certain RPM and they pin themselves there.  Great for a generator, not so good for a car.

If you find a trashed IP you can swap the accelerator lever and its springs, etc over, or even better find someone who's trying to build a generator and swap pumps with them.

I have a Governor from a 1.6 NA you can have for just a couple bucks + shipping if you're near British Columbia, Canada, that might solve your issue?

Ok, so any throttle assembly out of any IDI will work? No matter if its a 1.6NA, TD, etc...? That being said, I have never been into the guts of an Injector pump. Would anyone have some nice colorful photos on how to swap out the bits required?

Thanks to all!, and yes i may very well be interested in your Injection Pump bits.


Thanks!

Cool, I think this answers my question about my recent post. I just bought an industrial IP, new for 160. I'm pretty sure I can simply use the gov spring stuff from an Auto pump.
regarding diagrams/pics, go to the FAQ's and look around, there is tons of great info about VE pumps.
