I nstalled a new Giles pump on my 92 jetta with a 1.6TD
The pump has the modified govenor modified boost enrichment parameters and lets not forget the dynamic advance.
I just drove to sudbury and when I got there the fuel gaguge just came off of full where with the old pump it would have used halve a tank.
Yes the fuel milage is impressive but the power is more so. Now I do all of my daily driving in the first inch of pedal travel it drives like a gasser.
On the way up north I had the car loaded and I pulled on to hyw 69 and hammered it, my buddy in a v8 dakota behind me could not even keep up. All of this is on a rebuild with 10 over pistons, stock boost settings and without an intercooler so there is still room for improvement.
If you are in the market for a new pump I would definetly recomend Giles at Superior diesel.[/b]

Good to hear
I wish I'd hear some comments like that on NAs

BEST BOLT ON EVER! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

How much did he charge you for the pump? Did you supply him w/ a core?
-
Can you give us a better idea how much better the fuel mileage was. Would this giles upgrade increase your fuel mileage on a stock turbo 1.6??

When I heard the economy of Smokey Dubs Car at 350 or so km per 1/4 all racing, and felt it's power I was sold. This is going to be an upgrade for the future.
I think if he drove it normally it could have eaisly went past 400 - 500 km per 1/4 tank :shock:
Holy COW MENG............

Stop making me want to do this mod!! I'm still a poor student! :evil:

I also have a Giles pump and I can't say enough about it; I had him rebuild the pump and injectors and my fuel consumption is definately way down. I am in the middle of measuring it but so far I'm 2/3 through the tank and already past 600k. 1.9 w/ T3 I guess the boost pin Giles puts in doesn't really start any fueling till about 4 or 5psi, which I very rarely reach unless I'm bootn' it anyways. Totally rad!! so zagarus, take a semester off and phone Giles :lol:
-
well thankfully im on last semester, so next spring, hoep to have one :lol: :lol:
-
Took the pump out this weekend (leaking). Going to Giles tomorrow. Can't wait!

So far it has been 16 months with my rebuilt pump from Giles. I have a 91 ECO. He rebuilt the pump and added the LDA. I had my K14 rebuilt by a place in Tx and the engine I did locally. I can say this much it really makes a difference, to top it off make sure you add a 2.5" down pipe as well. That really woke up my jetta. My best mileage has been 725 miles, 1166.7km to 14 gallons/ 53 liters. 51.7mpg.
Would be interesting to see how well it would run with a bigger turbo and intercooled. :D
-
apparently i'm like number 9 on giles list of performance pump upgrades. Its definitely gonna be tough to wait that long, especially hearing all these things from you guys. Along with the GTD nozzles i have sitting on my dresser and the pump i'm expecting a real wake up for my 1.9TD. Giles sounds hella stressed out though. Poor guy :D

how much boost are you running? Thats really good mileage, and I bet your car is zoomy :)
Oh yea guys, don't forget to run your diesel fuel lubricants to protect your investment. That new low sulphur stuff will kill your pump prematurely. :(

yea but the fuel gauge on these cars are far from accurate. Mine will stay at full for about 80 km's, then start to drop drastically until about the 1st bar from full. It will stay there for another 200-300 km, then start to go down fast to half tank... and after another 150km it starts going to the last 1/4 of a tank and it will stay there for another 150 km's or so. (i've never really used all 50 litres of my tank though... don't really want to either :lol: )
still though... thats awesome mileage for the way that car is driven :lol:
-
there has been a big misunderstanding... im not sure were he got those numbers from ( and its my car) i just got to a full tank 710 km with a 12mm pump running 27 psi intercooled with alot of beatings.

Believe it. I've been waiting a month now, though in fairness he let me know as soon as he received the pump.
Just my luck that my pump arrived the same day as 5 others.....

It's good to see Giles has fans all over North America!!!!

oh i'm not a fan yet. I'm reserving my own judgement for when i get my pump back. :P

you will be. :twisted:

I'm still saving my money for a pump rebuild from Giles. I'm sure it's worth it. Heck, a rebuilt pump would cost around $600. Who in their right mind wouldn't want a super injection pump :)
-
i have a couple questions. i'm still searching as well, but someone can feel free to drop me a PM and help me out
i have a 92 1.6td
so what i have understood so far is that the giles modded pump will actually improve fuel milage while also significantly improving power? is this correct?
does it smoke a lot more? i've already been pulled over by the ministry of environment for too much smoke.. which i will be fighting cuz it was bull***.
someone with a giles pump and a 1.6td please pm me.
-
I havent really done any mods to my car other than the pump and a new engine but with stock boost and no intercooler it's fast as hell
I have a set of GTD nozzels and a saab turbo intercooler that are getting installed in the spring.
as for fuel milage i drove about 1300 km on my first tank which was a combination of 50/50 highway and city driving when I filled it up it took about 13 gallons, it worked out to around 62mpg which is awsome.
Not to mention the engine wasn't even truly broken in yet and I was running jet fuel (Kerosene) which has less power available per ounce than diesel fuel.

Does giles have a website where I can contact him, does anyone also know if he does pumps for anyone outside of the US?
Or... any UK guys know anyone who's can do me some pump work for a perkins Prima 2L TDI-M?
