The manifolds all look the same from '97 'cause of the emissions :roll:
The air goes through a water cooled "charge cooler" :wink: so I thought :?

Right i see it all now,you want to know how to tell the difference between a 100ps and a 85ps,its not easy mate especially when its out of the vehicle.i usually go by the injectors colour its blue spot and brown spot for the 100ps and orange spot and pink spot for the 85ps,as far as how power is achieved i think its down to the electronic fuelling but i would have to check that out on tuesday when i can get at my paperwork in work


NO :!: NO :!: NO :!:


The questions are from Jim H
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 1. the punp #0-460-414-145 ver 686-2
Question 2.Bosch pipes pipes are better because they are in pairs and easier to get by the manifold,epic have the 4 together and you have to bend and twist a bit
Question 4.Blue will suit this pump better but at a push will run on the ones you have
Question 5.Do your conversion get rid of the egr butterfly completly, pump timing has to be advanced a little,2 notches.Van will drive like sh*t so get it to your local diesel man as he has the gear,it takes about 20 minutes to set up and you will drive home with such a smile on your face you will need plastic surgery to get it off,

as for power ,it is in par with the epic but mid range is far superior
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What numbers should be on the manual pump to replace the Epic pump :?: -

Are the Epic injection pipes suitable :?:

Are the pulleys interchangeable between the two pumps :?:

And are the 85ps injectors suitable or must the 100PS injectors be fitted :?:

What do you have to do to the pump itself in the way of tweeking :?:




Is that about right Jim H :?:
