I forgot to add the 2800 seems to spool the T4 17cm hx40 way better when compared to the 3800.
With the 2800 there's a bit more fuel delivered along with a slight advance in timing due to the pump making the pressure quicker. I would suggest the extra fuel helps it light quicker than the slight...
Update:
After installing the omega moose pump with ~ 110cc peak flow & 80cc cranking fuel the truck still had hot start issues. That's 3 different pumps with hot start issues.
After removing the 3800 psi injectors and replacing with 2800 psi injectors the hot start issues have gone away.
In...
I've been having trouble with a P0678 code. Changed the glow plug (drivers rear, #8) but the code continued to come back. So I traced the wire by checking resistance and checking for a short. Nothing so the GPCM was replaced & reprogrammed. However the code still persists. Went back & checked...
Thanks for the suggestions!
I think I'll be going with the Omega Moose. I just have to come up with a running core, or hopefully they have something without too steep of a core charge. I should've just bought a built pump to begin with however I just cheaped out when it came to the pump. The...
pensacrap yes it is.
Warwagon, I agree there should be no tricks I was just hopeful I might be able to get it to work.
The truck has an electric lift pump, I think its the FRB-5, with a pressure gauge, it holds 4-6 psi fairly well. New fuel filters and the engine ran fine with another pump I...
Are there any external adjustments that can be made such as clocking the tapered advance arm that is clamped to the throttle shaft?
Or do you think its an internal problem from scouring in the cylinder wall causing the piston to hang up during a quick snap back of the throttle?
Well it looks like I need to do a little more homework before I buy next time. I called them and they said I could return it so I sent it back and a few days after they got it I called them again to see when they were going to issue a refund. Well it turns out they already put a different head...
Thanks for all the input!
I have a lot of clear fuel line on it but not coming off of the pump. I should put a piece on there. There is still air coming through the injector returns but I've never had a fuel pump issue this stubborn. Normally after a short drive the system is primed fairly well...
Finally got the reman 4911 pump on from Pensacola diesel. They were able to get 100 cc's from it at 1000 rpms (They didn't state the pressure) They did however say the pump has a new head & rotor from Stanadyne.
However I still seem to have the same hot start issue as before. If not a bit...
Well after messing around with it I'm about 99% sure its the IP. It does help slightly to pour ice water over the head. Thanks for the funnel idea, I should've thought of that myself :banghead:.
If the rebuilt engine stays together at the truck pulls coming up I'll swap the IP out with a spare I...
I'll have to give this a try.
I've also heard of mixing 1/2 gal of oil with a few gallons of diesel to see if the higher viscosity helps hot starts. If it does help, the pump head is worn.
The volume measurement is more of a hard data result though.
I was hoping to hear injection pump timing...
Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've posted anything but before I swap the injection pump out I thought I would get some input.
Just finished a 6.5l build for my '82. Specs as follows: 1994 block with mechanical IP, bored 0.020 over, Delta Hot cam (I think the hot one is the 206), square pre...
Dusting the cob webs off this one,
Ran about 2500 miles on 75% WMO
Checked the GP's at 1200 miles after replacing and they looked good!
Today I just put 4 new Bosch GPs in and all 4 old ones were shot (tips burnt off again).
The engine is probably due for rings as the blow by pushes the dip...
Well I got the FRB5 on yesterday along with 2 new GP's and retarded timing to marks aligned. Topped off the tank and had some other stuff to do. So I parked it left for work saw 18+ volts on my voltmeter so I pull over & shut it off to take a look. Alt wasn't too hot or anything obvious jump it...
Manual controller when its at 150* or more no glow plugs are used. Ten seconds or less on start up unless its winter they get cycled twice.
I might have to look into those rings. If my GP's look like that I wonder about my pistons :nonod:
Those are Duraterms!! I spent some good money on them two years ago. I only had 6 spares at home and the part store was closed ha I'll get the other two today. Just putting autolites/crap in it for now till I get the problem worked out.
I see your 93 has gapless rings are they custom made rings?
Well F%** look at these glow plugs
Had the pump advanced awhile ago for about 7,000 miles then retarded it for spool up "help". Then 7/18/13 I advanced it again since I'm burning more oil. Since the 18th I probably put 250 miles on it.
Didn't look at the plugs before advancing it but have...
sounds good. Makes sense with the low rpms helping slow burn. Idk why I didn't think about timing with oil. I knew it burns slower but I just didn't think about it in timing sense.
10-4
I'll probably get this used FRB-5 and hopefully get rid of the 0 psi issue.
I figured 2 filters on the truck shouldn't be an issue since many guys run two cat filters.
As far as saving for IP and injectors thats not a problem. I have two extra IP's and I wouldn't blame the current IP for...
I just found a used one, what do they go for new again?
45 gph and 8-11 psi; do you regulate it so timing doesn't get thrown in the pump?
Also are new filter screens easy to come by?
