Hi guys, though I had registered here, but obviously not..
Anyway, Im running a VW T3 with a 1Z with mechanical injection, just thought I would post here what I have had built incase any of the details are of any use to you.
Oh, Im in the UK so some of the language I use you may be unfamiliar with, sorry, I copied and pasted this from another forum

This hybrid pump of mine consist of..
Ford escort 1.8d injection pump body.
20mm drive shaft.
TDI cam plate.
Perkins Prima Head and rotor (11mm)
Transporter 1.6td governor body and LDA.
pump timing set to .9mm lift at TDC
.205 injectors (110hp)
So, ive got what looks like a standard VW installation, if you glance in the engine bay you would think that it was meant to be there!
The van was a JX (1.6TD) so all mountings, pipes etc have been kept.
JX turbo, wound up to .9bar boost
really badly installed intercooler.
Hybrid pump.
No messing with mountings, just bolts up!
Hybrid 228mm clutch.
So, it all fits under the standard lid, and as I said, looks factory, well except that I really should mount the air box properly, but didn't want to spend ages on it if the engine wasn't staying, same for intercooler!
For the first time in ages I over took someone yesterday and even got stuck behind an unladen merc sprinter (you know how quick they are!) going up Holme Moss (gert big hill)
I've stuck a tenner in it, driven 'kin miles and the guage hasn't moved!
Its starts instantly, no need for glow plugs!
As a bodge I have used the standard JX glow system, but they work for far too long, need to either put a resistor inline to the sender to confuse the relay into thinking its warmer or invest in a cold start control unit from a TDi.
Not been on a motorway yet but going to Scotland in the morning to baptism of fire to follow!
No smoke (well, except for the rings, but that oil not fuel!), no noise, no commotion, it's really smooth.
More to follow when I've twatted it up the motorway, wonder if I get red hot sparks out of the exhaust like I used to?

Second post...
Well...
I've run out of gears, van keeps pulling and pulling.
Engine pulls hard at 2500 rpm and carries on to well over 4000rpm
More than happy sat at 70mph, trouble is that it's revving at about 3800 rpm at that speed.
Wound it up to 80 with no big drama's, just could do with a differant box in it, then it wouldn't be revving it's knackers off.
Dunno what everyone else gets from their diesel vans, I seem to be getting about 100 miles for a tenners worth of fuel, I need to go do some sums but initially Im happy considering the price of diesel at the moment.
Starts instantly with no need for glow plugs.
Need to trim back the turbo a little, noticed today in places it was creeping up to 1.1 bar, probably safe at this but just going to knock it back a tad.
oil temp is low, well it's a load higher than it used to be, I would have to drive half way accross the country in the summer to get 50 degrees C, new it sits at 50 degrees C and goes up to about 80 when it's working.
Now I have a bench mark I may start advancing the pump timing, Im sure theres more to come yet!!
As for rolling road, yep, Fancy a power run, may even get an hour on the rollers if the place I take it can deal with Diesels.
I have driven loads of TDi's (Im a mechanic) and I would say it is down on power for a 110, but I have a load more weight to haul about then theres the gearing in a van.
Engine may go in new van now it runs something like, so chances are that I will build a 4 speed gearbox and not use one of the awful 5 speeders! Hope fully a 4 speed 099 box, with tall ring and pinion, and if it will go a locking diff for my winter jaunts up the alps.

Third post.. Pictures!
Hope that may be of some use to you guys, I think it says up there that I didn't build the pump myself, I just work in a car dealership, all our deisel work is subcontracted out as we don't have the training or equipment to do it ourselves, this has been a big learning curve!
