due to popular demand, here it is.......
for those who dont know i got a "performance" injection pump built by Giles of Superior Fuel Injection in Canada [(905)475-1222]. the performance rebuild costs about $100 more than a standard rebuild. VERY much worth the money IMO. i drive a 1984 jetta coupe with a 1.6L NA diesel engine that came stock with 52bhp. Giles used a gtech dyno to do a before and after and he claims it adds ~20hp, and i can say for sure that you
will notice the difference. im hoping to have the car dyno'd soon and i will post that as soon as ive done it.
ive put nearly 1000k miles since ive had the pump installed and im
very happy to report that it hasnt had any negative effect on fuel economy (as long as the right foot stays light). actually before i got the pump done, i was leaking diesel so my miles per tank has gone back up to ~400 miles per tank. :shock: (thats ~40mpg)
before the rebuilt pump i was like most NA diesel drivers, ie: stuck in the slow lane. nowadays im driving with my speedo maxed out at 85mph passing cars. when was the last time
you passed someone on the highway in
your NA diesel :lol:
the 70hp beast
another happy Superior Fuel Injection customer right here :wink:
however this isnt the end of this story. i will be modifying my NA diesel more, with a better breathing intake manifold and replacing the toilet bowl exhaust manifold with a dual downpipe unit to a slightly larger exhaust. if i can get this thing anywhere near 100bhp i will be extremely happy
