Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) P pump conversion help

[blowinsmoke]

I think were about to try converting a 24V to a P7100 pump. does anyone have a detailed set of instructions or any info on this???

It involves replacing the timing case with a 12v one, custom injector lines, and a lot of tuning from what I hear.

 

[blowinsmoke]

what about the gear on the injection pump- do you use the 24v gear or a 12V ?

I think Scheid Diesel sells a kit for doing this.

You use a 12V gear on the pump. It doesn't require that much tuning like everyone else says.

 

[Forrest Nearing]

that's what I would assume... I have yet to have anyone explain all the "tuning" involved



make sure the injector pop off pressures are right, set the timing, and hang on, right? plate, lever arm, afc, etc. settings are all stuff we mess with on 12v p-pump trucks... maybe they call it "tuning" because you use hand tools instead of a computer?



Forrest <-- planning a p-pumped 01. 5-02' before too long Oo.

I think alot of the tuning they talk about is caused by the pump trying to push the fuel through smaller injectors. I've been working on it for a while and still have a crummy idle when hot. I think if you are planning on running larger injectors and looking for 600+ hp, it might actually be easier than trying to run high 400's to low 500's with a modest amount of smoke. Just my . 02.

 

[Forrest Nearing]

ahh, gotcha... I'm looking for 700+ at the wheels...
