That would be awesome. Would really let me see If It's the pump or not and see how much I really want a 4bt pump.

Havent got to mess with it lately. i had to strip my 92 jetta coupe down for paint and drop it off. It has a turbo diesel in it right now but yesterday i picked up a 97 passat tdi to drop in it. Havent decided yet if i'm going to keep my dash or throw a corrado one in it to make the gauge cluster fit. The car has a 5 lug swap off of a 97 gti and h&r springs with koni shocks. I have leather door cards and recaros going into it and am picking up a set of 16v flairs for it. It already has 16v fenders up front because it sits low and rubbed bad.

Let me know when your shoving that tdi in I'd like to see an e-tdi swap for the knowledge.

I think i read somewhere that 1z injectors had a lower popping pressure than AHU injectors. I just picked up that 1z motor wonder if swapping the injectors over would help it run any better. I ran a can of diesel purge through it and that helped a little bit with the put put put idle.

The injectors are probably ridiculously worn/dirty then if it helped but didn't solve it. That or your timing is still super retarded.

If i advance the timing any more i'll have to pull the timing belt and slip it another tooth forward. its all the way advanced as it can go with the adjustment. I talked with ryanp about gettting a 2.5 landy pump and putting on it. I've got the cash. just going to see if i can get any more interested and buy a few and have them shipped at once.

2.5 landy pump and putting on it.

Best idea yet lol.

They are a legitimate awesomeness. If you buy them used just understand they will likely need a reseal prior to being put in to duty.

yea, i was going to reseal them, gov mod, and whatever else i need to do. I've been reading up on it. As much as i want a 4bt based pump i cant shell out a grand right now. and 300 sounds a lot better. though i may put a 4bt one on the e21 tdi i have been scheming on after the caddy and my coupe are done.

decided to put my big boy pants on and get the 4bt pump. I never got around to getting the 300tdi pump and I want to get this thing going again.

 I've also been working on my vr6 rabbit. Motor is in it and it runs. now just putting all of it back together.

after playing with Bbob203's Passat wagon I decided I really wanted one, so its all his fault. Its also his fault that i'm going to pick up a b3 wagon and put a tdi I have in it out of a b4 and ditch my mk3 tdi. well that motor will get put into my 92 jetta coupe when (if) its ever done getting painted.

im a big wagon fan and the b3 is like 400 and is in great shape. I plan on doing a lot of work to it once I get it running. But I have to make money too so it makes progress slow. I'm working on this vr6 rabbit I acquired. It has mk4 mounts and a custom dogbone mount. Pretty slick setup. Its all ce2 already, has a roll cage, coilovers, shaved and tucked bay. I'm putting mk4 rear disc on it tomorrow. I'd run g60s on the front but I want to be able to run 14"s because I have some cool vintage Ronals I want to put on it.
