This is too legit to quit. I was joking about the NOS, but if you want to that'd cool. Or propane.

Props on the tubing work too; do you know if the exhaust manifold form a 1987 om603 would work?

What is the cost of the Dieselmeken upgrade to your pump?

He said around 925 euro and shipping which should be about 150 euro. Have not got my final price yet.

Excellent info - thanks! That includes the cost of the 7.5mm elements, correct? Is he fabricating his own elements now?

I never heard what happened with development of the infamous 'Floyd' elements (Tomik? on the STD forum)... those sounded promising. Maybe Dieselmeken has somethine equal or better now.

I have a set of "Floyds" in my car. I think Goran improved on Tom's original design.

Dieselmeken has made his own design and has finally found a manufacturer to make them up to his quality.

SuperFloyd 8.5 mm is state of the art, 7.5 mm are also still available.

Tom

That is awesome. I think 7.5mm would be plenty for my needs (looking for ~300hp), anything larger might be a bit overkill.

Even with my simple 6mm pump upgrade, I'm finding some unexpected issues. Because the throttle linkage travel is so small at cruising speeds and at light acceleration (i.e., in traffic) this causes issues with cruise control surging, and the transmission upshifting too early. Thus far I haven't been able to fix either problem via adjustments. Maybe Dieselmeken has a way to tweak the power curve vs throttle input to help counteract those issues.

my 603a behaves like stock, except way more power and less smoke.
I would not accept any compromise for a daily driver. For further testing I even still run the stock turbo (without excessive EGT). The pump adjustment is at about 25-30% of max. fuel delivery.
So the diameter of elements is more a matter of efficiency than power goal.

Check the (maybe adjustable) linkage levers. If this is o.k. then have the governor adjusted by someone who knows what to do.

The following check will tell you all: open the IP side cover and slowly press the pedal (or linkage), engine NOT running, now you want to see the rack move +- with the pedal. I had a pump with bad adjusted governor and the rack did not move until approx. 50% of pedal but then "jumped" to that position. The rack was not stuck, it was simply bad governor adjustment.

Tom

I need some 7.5MM DV's!

DVs?
or elements?
Who made your current IP (governor setup)?
Who will do the new pump?

Tom

hi Tom

nice to see you on the boards again

Pump is done and paid for it will be shipped out on Friday. I can't wait putting new bushing in the rear end. I have also installed the new sway bar fits but is kinda close it will work though.

tell us more details:
what elements
which shop
what max. delivery

Tom

Goran worked his magic on the pump he did 7.5 elements added outside alda it is set to 140 cc.
