Epic Swap

Postby Mac1984 » Mon Apr 17, 2017 8:56 pm

Hi all,

im hoping to do an epic to Bosch swap in the near future, if i am able to get all the parts together.
I need everything basically... throttle cable should be no problem, but the pedal assy and especially the pump...
145 or 146 as the pros here suggest i recon...Have not done the job before, so if somebody with expertise is around the south of Ireland, any help more then welcome...
Any parts to offer, please drop me a message

Cheers

Mac

Steve

Have you had any reply from Star Diesel?

I also tried contacting them for this kit, but have heard nothing back
Regards

That was me, but I have not heard anything from stardiesel at all... I give them a few more days and then I will ring them and email them and annoy them until they are willing to sell me something... Also contacted quite a few breakers online and stuff, looks like a place in Holland is going to sell me a whole NA engine for a good price including shipment, also they were the only ones replying to my requests.. Most people seem not to want any business these days.

You're a god sent so..

Make me an offer I can't refuse ;-)

No mate, all the joking aside, please send me a mail just with what you have and what you want for it please...
And if you want the epic parts ? Otherwise I will pass them on elsewhere..

Just a little update regarding star diesel.. I got a reply eventually, but it ended up in the spam folder. Basically they were asking me further details of my business, and don't seem to be too pressured to sell me something :-)

Anyway, they did not mention any price for it despite me asking for it...seems only like an automatic reply I got from them, maybe easier to get blueprints for a nuclear submarine then buying from stardiesel
