rover pumps???

[theman53]

I would probably put it on the 1.6 and keep my 12mm for the jeep...but I could get it as just like guitars, all pumps look the same in the case

The IDI Giles pump will need work to run your DI properly my man, not just a bolt on and go operation.

My Giles pump was not in the equation. I would put the 11mm pump on the IDI, keep the 12mm that is on the bench for the Jeep, and sell the Giles pump with the TDI head.
What I was saying is if you have a new guitar and put it in a case you cannot tell it is different...and all the bosch pumps look almost the same on the outside

Well let me know when he is going and what you/ wants from me. I am torn with good or bad. I have faith that if I did get a bad one(seals wise) I could fix, as long as its like our idi pumps. I've torn those down, and built them again.
I agree it would be nice to have a UK supplier.

seal issues come from low sulfur fuels.... uk... good quality vs usa fuel... and i bet their sulfur content better.. why a known to run one has imo  best value...

he supposed to be going in few weeks...

he is diesel4life on the kubvan forum in my sig (could join there).. but i hope he sent a email and is waiting for his acct here.. he has no amount of posts there.. and dislikes alot of forums... this place will be new experiance..   sadly i think the kubvan forum may not approve of his "tdi" upgrade (have a few who dislike mine)... here he will be accepted... and since he going m with it tdi club will not accept him...

but phone call.. man guy has seen odd euro diesels we have not... worked on them... and he is doing his own tdi-m build... in a kubvan..

him being a source of euro diesel knowledge = win.. him having uk contacts/trips = win

90% active users here = great fit... i hope the other 10% do not annoy him with stupid silly flakey stuff..

i am hoping to see his knowledge on some of the silly jeep/euro v6 td idi info.. down in the little area only few post.. and real info lacks..

Makes sense.

I need to do some research, but I'm feeling giddy about the potential here...

it is also my understanding that 1.6 pumps over there had a higher lift cam plate.

i question how much ulsd causes pumps to leak, i think ever since they switched when ever someones pump leaks they blame it on ulsd.  i only ever had one pump leak and it was 4-5 years after the switch.  my dad has had the same pump on his 85 td since atleast 2003.

i also wonder, are there any issues with running a di pump on an idi

What? Making a eIDI? Very interesting.

No i think he just meant running steeper cam plate, stiffer springs and bigger pump head.

lucas thinking the di on idi...

1st switch was 90/93... too many sprung leaks that "farm fuel" would stop the leak... then if you nursed it that way seem to stay leak free... and not needed in years... my b3 pump is a example of this... not has farm fuel in it in long time...

i think my rover pump just started leaking.. been on us crap 3rd summer... but i just got 60+ gal of dark cherry red fuel... someone just converted from home heating oil to nat gas... figured out 1 tanks feed was plugged up god knows how long.. other tanks fuel ws bright pink... he thought he has 5-10 gal of fel... over 120 gal... for $30...(good karma = gave 45 or so gal to lady who uses homeheating oil still) im going to bottle feed the rover pump on the cherry red to see if it stops leaking.. fill it and let it sit while cold out...

yeah i just meant, like a rover pump on an idi.

but an eidi would be interesting to see, i don't think it would be very hard if you threw aaz internals and head on a tdi block/crank, i am pretty sure bmw had an injector that would work in place of the odd tdi injector, even if it didn't i'd imagine it would be easy to eliminate that sensor from the software, or find another way to get that injector signal.

what are pd 150 manifolds worth??

Possibly, I'd use a 3.15mm lift AAZ plate.

i also wonder, are there any issues with running a di pump on an idi

I see no issue at all. Just the size of the plunger may over fuel it.. My rover pump had the exact same profile cam plate that all the 1.6 pumps I've had open had.. Meaning, same ramp and duration for injection. (I believe) An 11mm rover pump in stock form would run an IDI (1.5, 1.6 or 1.9) no problem, just WAY MORE fueling potential.

but an eidi would be interesting to see, i don't think it would be very hard if you threw aaz internals and head on a tdi block/crank, i am pretty sure bmw had an injector that would work in place of the odd tdi injector, even if it didn't i'd imagine it would be easy to eliminate that sensor from the software, or find another way to get that injector signal.

Eliminating it would be redundant I would think.. It tells the ECU and thus the pump exactly when the injection is taking place. Without that, I would think it would not have the ability to alter timing and injection properly. Just a thought though.

I think I got mine from Europe for like $135 shipped.

well we got together and very interesting guy... i showed him this thread to motivate him joining more...

we discussed how burnt toast is just freeken perfect on ride height vs look vs function.. but its also like supergluing duct tape and trying to rip it off with no pain... he has title issues.. and hard to invest in his kubvan till solution... dead guy crap.. but his goals nice... i see a new member for madness weekend.. likes cross country trips and such.. his plans will make it nice for trips.. even got into discussions of pop tops.. he started that topic even.. i mentoned on a thread hear couple mo ago.. nice to have such conversations with others.. im not the only one nuts..

Over in the UK is it easier to find mk2 air box setups? If so I wouldn't mind him picking one of those up... They are so rare over here and I have no idea why...
