01 Got some cp3 ideas what do you think about...

Not sure of the name, but what about the little supply pump on the back of the CP3? The one with two gears in it... Could you machine an adapter to mount it to with a -6AN fitting coming in and out? I guess you would need a way to drive it... Without a billet front cover, it wouldn't be very easy...
 
Don't hold me to this, but I was thinking I read somewhere that it supplied about 60 psi...

I think a better solution would be a common rail conversion for the VP trucks.

Can you even install CR injectors into the 2nd gen head? Or maybe all that's needed is the 3rd gen valve cover?

The electronics might not be that bad - someone would just have to make an injector drive module that appears to be a vp44 to the ECM.
 
sleepin sport its the same idea as the mitusa, i just dont know the gph rating of it. the waterman like meacham and darren morrison run comes in different flow ratings.

oh ok, the only down side to the mitusa is the fact that it's on the bottom of the engine and could be subject to some damage from road debri or something getting caught. Other than that it's able to supply anywhere from 15psi up to or over 100psi depends on the pump model and pulley size.

I use to have an email from Opie regarding the gph and different flow ratings based on the different set-ups. If I find it, I'll make sure and post it.
 
doesnt Glacier make a belt driven fuel pump that would basically do te same thing as his concept? something like 350gph?

Well I disagree with the fact stated above. :what: Most all the Dodge Mitusa systems are on the bottom. I have yet to to have one get damaged from road debris. I have had to replace a couple pulley's and seals none of which was related to road debris. For the guys running twin CP3's the Mitusa is mounted next to the CP3 which can be seen here.

As for gpm the bigger pump will supply over 1400 hp and in most cases pressures can be customized to what ever the customer wants. There is even a bigger pump available that will be brought out when the need finally requires it.

From what I've read on other forums (not from my personal experience) other people don't like having it mounted on the bottom of the engine (hooked up to the crank). I understand that you haven't had one break because of something hitting it off the road. So since he's trying to come up with an idea of mounting a mechanical lift pump, I tried to let him know that there's already something similar to what he's describing but he could design it (mount) different.

I see where you where coming from, there are several different ways to power it. I try to keep things a simple as possible to install/maintain.
 
Maybe a little late, but I am thinking of this mitusa pump for my truck, i just replaced another electric one, and instead of buying another expensive electric pump- fass or air dog- just buy a mechanical and be done with it. But I was thinking when i do get it, I'll mount it somewhere else toward the top so I can get to it, I'm sure I can make a bracket to mount anywhere and get any belt I need to turn it. All the diesels I deal with, mostly cat, all have mechanical lift pumps ran by the cam, it sounds like the belt driven deal is the closest I can come to that without getting to involved in modification.
