I just got done re-reading this whole thread. To somewhat I am surprised by some of the comments made. Over a VP and some fault findings in the VP. That most don't even own the HRVP44. First I can say that you can not add up injector horse power numbers, fueling box numbers and expect to achieve that. All variables have to be considered, size of turbo, injectors, and timing all make a diff in the hp chase. All the products you guys see advertised with horse power claims, are numbers derived from a stock truck. Example, timing box 65hp, most fueling boxes 100 horse +, injector ratings 30 hp gain to whatever, are listed over stock.
But now back to this pump. I posted my number gains back in Oct of this year. I actually ran my truck with my HO stock pump on the dyno, I can't exactly remember the numbers, anyway I then changed out the pump to the HRVP44 then ran again. Yes there was an increase, 30hp. Now before someone posts "well that is not much of a gain", let me tell you I am running the stock HX35 and overboosting to 50psi... ... ... ... ... so now do you see why my numbers are low? For driveability and seat of the pants feel, you guys that have a ETH know what I am talking about when the HO pump runs out of fuel with bigger injectors, get a little flat over 2000rpm. That is totally gone with the HRVP, it pulls hard to 3700rpm.
Now, yes I have my wire tapped, yes there is an increase in the hp, as I ran the dyno with the Edge on and off. Unlike some counterfeit HRVP's that use a resistor to hold the solenoid closed for a little longer, the one from II is not that way, I doubt Schieds does either. When you tap your pump wire that is all you are doing to the electronics, is holding the pulse a little longer... ... ... . that is why some of you guys that have bought "other HRVP's" to save a buck, hate it, or are not happy with it. By tapping the wire on that one you actually gain nothing, signal is maxed for the pump already.
Anyway, long winded enough, Brady sorry if I don't know all the "proper terminology" for the parts, but how else can I explain?
Please remember Bosch works very closley with II, and would not let them send anything crappy out the door. When I vist Industrial Injection in March, I am planning on getting a turbo there put on my truck for another dyno event in North Dakota. So I will repost my numbers with a better turbo, going to be a fun road trip.
