Time to start assembling 1.5 TD / 1.9L Franken Diesel.

I know that Giles is "The Man" when it comes to injection pumps in North America.  I am confident that he would do an outstanding job, and is the standard to which others are compared.

I have been following Dieselmeken on Facebook, and have been impressed by what I have seen.  It seems that there is something about the Finns, Norwegians, and Swedes that leads them to be excellent diesel builders.  Perhaps it is the long, cold winters.

Right now, I am keeping my options open.  I have mentally made the leap to open up my budget (again).  I hope to hear something from Dieselmeken soon.

giles has certainly proven himself.  it'd be interesting to see a dieselmeken pump here tho.  its fun to be different.

[Jetmugg]

I sent Dieselmeken a message - I'm looking forward to hearing his response.

Dieselmeken had 220hp 1,9TD Skoda 10 years ago.

I have made contact with Goran at Dieselmeken.  I think we may be coming to terms.

Right on man! I hate to see monopolies on anything.. so this will get some competition really going for sure.

(edit, i accidently modified your original instead of quoting.. my bad.)

Good enough, I am still biased to Giles but as long as you get A performance pump I will be happier than not having one.

Just don't tell your competition where or what you end up with

[R.O.R-2.0]

I trust Giles. The Dieselmaken is the guy in the rock and roll pump video that Alcaid had his pump done by. Both are probably equal in ability. One will be much cheaper shipping and I would tell him you are going for LSR and 'maybe' beg for a price difference or partial sponser type deal. It won't hurt, maybe he would give you a deal on a better pump but charge you the rate for the regular super pump? Just guessing things here, maybe Dieselmaken would as well??? Get a price war on the 2 of them LOL. I would think that one of them would want the opportunity to have their pump on a potential LSR record holder.
 
I am very biased as I am sure Alcaid is as well. I would love to see a Giles pump on your engine and it is why I offered mine to 'test'. Once you get a taste I bet you wouldn't want to let it go.

Giles pumps are like crack...

[Jetmugg]

I have given Goran (Dieselmeken) the go-ahead to build my pump.   Nothing against Giles at all, but Goran is going to do the work on this one.

This pump will probably be like Swedish crack.

Expected turnaround time = 1-2 weeks.

Gotta say Dieselmeken has a well organized shop. How does Gile's shop compare?

His  455HP MBZ pump sounds pretty happy too, I doubt you will regret your choice.
