looks great joe..get it running soon !!! ...on another note ..total seal doesn't make any vw tdi rings...you send them your goetz factory ring set and they machine th etop ring fro the extra zero gap peiece..so if you do like blake did you still have th esame rings you used but total seal just mods the top ring for less leak down etc...

that i knew
just glad I left them the way they are...like i said. Crazy in spec, well within spec at 126k ...i'm very happy with that...
Thanks for the comps...
It'll be running in late march-early april...no rush as the GTD doesn't see winter weather and I'm takin my time ...still lots to do...
Joe
Thanks... good to hear there is another, this motor should be real tight
I used the old school carrier with a press in seal and paper gasket. I could have gotten the intergrated...found a good price on them actually, but already had all the parts for the old style. I didn't need a tool to install though, made my own
All worked out quite well...
On the primer, sound good...but i think I'm probably going to pop the lines and let the lift pump/electric assist pump i install prime the beast. What do you have? One of those ball thingys you attach to the pump supply line at the pump and squeeze to prime?
I'm lookin at March/April to have this in and running...many other things to do...
Joe
Maybe I missed it, but what kind of pump are you using for the prime/lift pump? Do you have it wired in like an EFI pump to prime when the ignition is turned on? Thanks.
Looking really nice, I am jealous!

I haven't decided on exactly "what" pump I want to use for the lift pump yet... I have several options. An inline low pressure FI pump from one of several CIS cars I have around. Also have access to the in-tank units as well...which could be a possibility. I also have considered the lift pump from a Dodge/Cummins motor as well that is made by Carter. All would be well suited for the job its just deciding which one I want to use. If I do go the VW route, I'll wire it just as it would be in a gas setting. Relay and all. Otherwise, it'll feed from the ignition contact on the pump solenoid. That part of "all the other stuff" once the motor is done
I also have a fuel cooler I'll be running on the return line as well.
Joe
use one from an isb cummins,,thats what i got,,,,should be able to get one for around 50 or so,,,i did a ton of 0504replacement campaigns at work,so i have a few spares,,um i think they flow like 72gph or 96 or something,,i dont remember offhand,but its plenty,i know ido get like 15 psi at the inj.pump inlet,nice,,,even on a normal diesel,use a lift pump,,my old 1.6 jetta td used to fallflat at the strip in3rd on up,,starving for fuel,,,couldnt feel it on the street though,its a good idea to assist any bosch ve witha lift pump,, ,,i got it set for key on,,but you could make it running only,by using an oilpsi switch ,,,, mine is "quick+dirty",mounted back near where the gasser pumpwould be,,idid plumb it with nice german hose+clamps though,,,the isb pump has 12mm(ithink) banjos,,the one igot is the "same" but has pipe threads,,i put 3/8 hose barbs on them,,i got my orig pump thru work at napa,,,they have like 6 different carter pumps avalable,,,the differences are mostly hose hookup differences,but they have some with more or less flow too,,,,but find one of those carters theyare fine,,,i maytry to use one for my water to air ic,,,,but if ido,,imayhave to use coolant for lubrication for the pump,,,,theyare a vane pump,,
we'll see...lots of options...
looks nice..your keeping teh ac huh?..i guess the serp belt setup is the best route to go if your keeping teh ac..looks good..if my cut d valves work yoiu should try em hehe..later
Deo
no, not keeping the A/C, the GTD never had A/C to begin with. The MK3 accessory bracket can be used with an alternator only by using a H20 pump serpentine belt and pulley which can be bought on the aftermarket or through the dealer for a fairly cheap price. I have no A/C or power steering...
I like the clean look of the serpentine setup and the less maintenence/ ease of changing the belt.
Joe
yeah save a vr6 water pump pulley...it works good for that and its cheap..
later
deo
its actually the euro non a/c version pulley for the 2.0 8v and its belt. The VR pulley doesn't line up the crank and is slightly different.
Joe
well joe i have updated my post about my tdi ..i have some pulley problems too..the part # you gave me is just the outer pulley..no hub or woodruff key part to bolt the pulley onto..argh gonna need to machine the tdi one now..so i have a $50 paper weight here..did your pulley from impex come with the hub?..they only show the pulley and a woodruff key as available..argh...?
any ideas?
thanks
Deo
the hub comes as a factory part from Bosch, there is no VW p/n for it. You could try a bosch supplier... I responded to your post and remarked the same thing and a couple of options. The p/n to begin with was for the pulley only...found the thread with the quote in it...
Here is what I pull up from ETKA on the AAZ injection pump pulley...
028 130 111F
Either way...
The hub should work just the same and non of the hubs for the adjustable pulleys have woodruffs cut in them....they are a tight "press fit" on the shaft... the AAZ pumps with the adjustable hubs were the same way. Thus the reason why when talking on TDIclub, etc. regarding injection pump overhaul, etc. VW notes that if the hub is removed the pump must be reindexed to the hub in order to set timing correctly. Now...there are several marks that you can use for reference on the TDI pump hub and the woodruff spot on the shaft will help align for initial injection pump timing anyways which is how I plan to setup mine up, etc. for timing reference and then checking against the gauge...
