lucas epic to bosh

Postby eadyzrx » Fri Sep 24, 2021 11:41 am

My camper came with the dreaded Lucas Epic pump, Im now trying to convert it to a Bosh mechanical fuel pump. Has anyone done this and if so what issues did you have in regards to power, mpg and where did you source the parts.

whats dreaded about the EPIC? The only thing about it thats not brilliant is that diagnostics are hard to get hold of.

Bosch will give you more low down pull, but you will lose out on MPG, top end pull and its MUCH noisier

I replaced Lucas EPIK in my son's car with Bosch.
I installed a turbocharger on my car with Bosch.
I must say that replacing Lucas with Bosch on a 100 horsepower engine is a little noticeable, if the engine is 85 horsepower, then by adjusting the high pressure fuel pump, the theoretical power loss can be compensated.
The motor can be set for excellent low-speed traction and quiet operation.
The power of the motor is provided by 95% of the turbine.
