Post your p-pump swap set-up

I am being an information/picture scavenger these days to prepare me for my swap.

post up your set up and where you got the parts from, and any pics you have that help with the swap post them up too.

so far i have a stock 180 pump to get worked over by a good shop, the gear, the timing case, and thats it. any tips or little pieces of info that will help me out are appreciated
 
175 pump .093" lines (scheid) great fit. .093" tubes can't remember where. Cam gear from a friend same guy I got the pump from and front timing cover ddp250's pops set for pump. All gaskets front cover, tappet cover, pump, front seal, Oil return t fitting and pump oil fitting throttle linkage and cable all at local part shops 12 valve part are abundant. Just my opinion do it RIGHT the first time take the extra time I didn't and it's been kicking me in the azz every since. Finally got everything working properly .Get the cam relocator sensor if you have an 01 so your tach and everything works. Or if you don't want to spend the extra money I can give you the info on how to get everything working without the relocator. My advice is getting the pump tuned in 500cc plus so you'll never be lacking fuel an afc will be your best freind when tuning these pumps. I don't have one so it's all or nothing right now for me.

The overfueled Set up I'm running now is 175 pump never bench tuned gutted afc no plate laser cuts 4kgpk .093" lines and tubes ddp250's, timing @18deg. wheel fulll forward with a 55psi fass @180gph running a 64/71/14. I making about 46-48 lbs. never clearing up the smoke!! I have to get more air in there. I don't plan on pulling so twins is in my near future. Sorry I didn't take any pics when doing my swap but there is plenty on here check them out thet can be really helpful I learned somethings that would have made the swap easier but I didn't even know about this site when I done my swap. Good luck man. If I can be of any futher help pm me and I will post more on this forum. By the way Rods just done the conversion as well. Just like everyone else that has he says he loves it.
 
Just curious where to mount the ECM for those that kept it? I'm thinking of making a bracket to hold it directly above the frame rail...

I've got lots of pics and part numbers... Hope to have my swap done by this weekend... Can hardly wait :evil
 
Wow I was hoping we could get a forum I need to take pics myself , I used alot of my 24v stuff and it turned out really clean

I used my 24v throttle bracket cable and my fuel lines , I did have to strecth the return line but it worked , for you TJ u just need the CPS adaptor witch was very easy to do other than that its just bolting the stuff on . One I done was the guy timed the pump @ 25 so when I got home I the engine at TDC marked the shaft on the pump and put it in TQ it down and made sure it didnt move so far so good I think it may need more or less I dunno for sure but its smooth and egts are 1200 with water but thats only 40lbs

Now tuning is the big key today I finaly got on the truck and its only pushing 40 psi with the VP is was close to 60 , so I have a lot to learn ,,my timing is 25deg 7x14 injectors the pump I was told is around 550CC + its 215 tuned by a pump shop but there are a few thing I'm going to do to the pump befor I start changing injectors and such

I left my ecu hanging on the side pushed back a little

I made flat stock bar come straight down off the inner master cylinder stud, it T'd into another that bolted to the ECM. I welded a small piece to it that bolted to the shock mount to stiffen it up.

When I get done eating Ill take some pics, anything else in particular?

Lee-
is your truck daily driven?

just curious

Yeah its daily driven I tow and do almost anything I want. Egt's around 900 normal driving, 1100-1200 wot, thermocouple is in exh. housing though. I have been told told to add 400-500deg when thermocouple is in exh. housing. Is this accurate? I'm going to move it to the manifold when I do twins., along with a drive pressure gauge so I can tune the chargers. I'm thinking of running a s400 as a primary what do you guys think? Something with a 80ish mm comp. wheel. I want a bottom charger that will support 700-800 hp. Thanks Lee
 
As far as ECM placement I believe I just moved mine back towards the driver and used one of the existing bolt holes and hell I can't remember anyways it's not too hard to figure out.
 
My ECM is sitting right behind the pump and against the fire wall. It is a clean set up, but kinda gets in the way when I need to get into the back of the pump! Here is the only pic I have.....

Oh, forgot my set up.

160 pump :bang
100 plate
Full Cut DV's
4k gsk (in a bag right now)
.120 fuel lines
.93 connector tubes
7x14 injectors
HTT Pro Street 71mm turbo :ft:
Custom SS intake horn (super sweet and cheaper than anything else!)
studs, afe, blah blah blah, not important.

In the process from taking my pump from sucksville (stock) to flowing 500cc's were it needs to be! But atleast it does this now!

Try the pics for the 4TH TIME

Stupid satellite internet. Ill have to load them tomorrow when the clouds move:banghead:

275RV's at 300BAR
laser cuts
4K GSK
afc spring
Silver bullet
Holley blue pump pushing to a tsock 12V lift pump
Helix 2 cam

My pyro has Kissed the 1600 peg many times.
 
my set up is slowly coming together.

180 pump will be sent out to have 5ks, DV's, rack mods etc. and calibrated on a bench to about 550cc

diesel pros cam

gonna try to keep my J62 24v injectors and just have DDP lower the pop on them.

for right now im gonna stick with my 2.6 silver bullet because a new turbo isnt gonna be in the budget after the pump, but eventually it will get a custom 2.6 that flows alot more.

if all goes as planned i will start tearing it down in late september after the pulling season is over, sell off all the 24v stuff, and start swapping, and if all goes as planned ill have it ready to fire around new years that way i have a few months to tune it and get it ready.
 
Once you have all your parts together the swap will not be that bad, I do not consider myself an experienced mechanic but I have turned a few bolts before. I done the swap in two days and that was only because I had to wait to get it timed:bang. Another little thing to consider if I would have known better the first time I would of had a pump shop time my pump first then slapped it on a TDC and saved my self some time. If you're gonna be changing it around a whole lot then you might want to look at marking you're balancer and using you own timing mark there is a thread on here that explains how to do it this way I really have never messed with it myself my timing doesn't get changed that often.
 
I bought the ATI damper and it allready has TDC and 360 degree marks on it. With the head off and a dial indicator, found the piston tdc float and split that in half to have true tdc. Now all i have to do is bolt a pointer on that lines up with the tdc line on the damper. My pump is set internally at 25* for starters but was told to probably be 30 to 32* for the rpms the pump is capable of. This way we could actually go in 1* increments if we want to. We did the plunger lift method on my brothers truck shootin for 22-24 and ended up at 27. What a pain in the as* that was. I would be glad to put pictures up if i knew how. Tim
