Timing AFN hub, nozzle size, IM shaft bearing
« on: February 05, 2017, 11:37:37 am »
I am building a mTDI to go into a Volvo 745-88
Details: AHU motor
Pump: 460 424 138 VE4/12F 1900 R693 from VW LT  (AGK) motor
Turbo: gt 2052v. VNT control will be Libby style, mechanical. Will go Arduino when ready made kits are available.
Standard Volvo gasser A/A intercooler.
It will be my daily driven car so reliability is most important. Hp comes second hand, but round 150 hp should be nice.
 
At the moment build is stopped cause I don't knew what route to go.

The keyed AHU pulley or the heavy non keyed AFN? pulley. I have seen people taking weight out of this pulley but there is a reason why vw made it heavy! It evens out the pulses from the pump injections and gives a longer cam belt life.
There is on http://vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php/topic,36589.0.html   #6  Libbys explanation how to time the non keyed AFN hub on a LR pump. Is it done in the same way on my LT pump? Any suggestions?

Suggestions on nozzle size?

I am seaching for front IM shaft bearing Clevite SH-1209s. They seem unavailable here in Europe and on Ebay US they ask  $50 freight to EU included - way too much.
Many people has written about problems with this bearing - there is a reason, its a bad design by VW! My motor only have 56000km and bearing was worn 0.25 mm on the loaded side.
Its well explained by JaysinSpaceman on

Sorry for my bad school english.

edit: Re timing AFN hub. There is no threaded hole to lock the shaft on this pump.
