(11-03-2010, 03:26 PM)kmaser I heard from him last week and he told me that this week the M pump should be ready for testing on his car.SWEEEEET! Can't wait to hear some results! Is this on an OM603, btw? Any numbers on the fuel quantity delivered (i.e., 100cc, etc)?

Someone else complained about non responsiveness from derv tuning. Who ever he talks to next it would be swell if he would clear things up...
Although I have not exactly been kept in the loop on my pump and elements, which I figured from the beginning would be a very long turnaround I always get a response via email but it does take 4-5 days sometimes. I'm not concerned at this point but am still hoping to have my pump by the end of the year.
It would be nice if he posted or emailed everybody an update ever 2 weeks or so.
(11-15-2010, 03:42 PM)kmaser I emailed David right after this post to see where he was at with the pump and still have not heard anything back, I am wondering how many people have pumps / elements with David and are getting regular updates ?
I just looked and the last time he logged on was back in Sept. !

I am in no way trying to flame Derv Tuning or cause any ill will towards him or his work.
This forum may not be the appropriate place to have brought this up, but I wanted to know if anybody was getting regular updates or if anybody else has had their pump finished and I don't know who else has their pump with him.
I am patient and will continue to be so, but as you said above it would be great to have some idea of ETA or even progress.
I too do many side jobs and they are always a secondary to regular customer work and can understand that.
More than one person has complained, a heads up on the board would not be too much to ask as effectively we are an advertising medium for him. If hes got 3 wives and 9 kids, I'll forgive him for not checking in....
I ment nothing ill, just stating that sometimes a phonecall works better. The registered mail joke was a bit uncalled for though, I admit that.
As a partner of David I have to say that I my last contact was 4 weeks ago.
After Kurtis' PM I sent him an email a couple of days ago.
Normally he replies to me, but it happens to him being on a business trip far away.
There should not be more than the mentioned pumps in the line as he has no more elements.
All paid elements are in David's hands (shipped right after payment to me or even before). I try to keep an overview but have no influence to the progress in the US.
The situation gets clear when he is back.

Currently I ran out of elements.
But raws are still at the manufacturer and the final design is fixed step by step as a separate part number over there.
On the other hand it takes some time to get the finished elements as I am not a cat. A customer for them.
The new order runs already for about 12 sets.

I have emailed dave twice in 7 days with no responce He has my pump and injectors and has installed the imfamous floyds he has had my pump since april does any body know or herd about what is or isn't going on?
Haven't heard from him, but he is super busy. I know its getting a bit annoyed but hes a good guy he will free up just before the holidays for sure.
Ya thats why I don't understand why he cant take a minute to let me know whats going on, If I don't hear from him by new years I'm driveing to his house and doing whatever it takes to get this shit straitend out

you are right if just somebody tries to get in contact with him, but hey, it's me, his source for elements, his partner.

There are special tools required to pull the cam and a test bench is needed. There has been discussion on a home made bench. I have yet to see part numbers, pics or even descriptions of these tools.
You need to have a Bosch shop capable of fully disassembling the pump, swapping the elements, re-assembling it with all new gaskets/seals, then - AFAIK - it has to be calibrated on a Bosch test bench to put out as much fuel as possible at full load while still maintaining stock fuel delivery at idle. (That is, assuming you want the pump "maxed out").
I had a shop do exactly that but with 6mm Bosch elements, and I hope to install that pump in my car this weekend. It should be good for approx 210hp at the crank on a 603 engine. I went to the dyno two weeks ago for a "before" dyno graph with the bone-stock pump (116rwhp uncorrected, on winter blend fuel). Assuming the custom pump works as expected, after some road testing it will go back to the dyno to get the "after" dyno sheet with real numbers (no estimates). I also did 0-60 / 0-80 / etc testing before, and will do after testing as well to show real-world results. (Local dragstrip is closed until April, sorry.)
Very interesting gsxr, please do a write up on your achievements.
Also let me know how the pump turns out?
Not that I have read of yet! Dave, I am thrilled to hear about your success!

I cannot get a hold of dave Last contact with him was over a month ago, I need his phone # He has had my pump since march 25 2010
i will pick up the pump up my self if he will not send it back i'm am thourally pissed off and tired of this bull shit. can this guy in holland finish my pump with the floyd elements if not i will make him eat the money i spent on them. he also has my injectors at this point I would have been happy to send my pump to myna to avoid all this bullshit I also want his address in case he tries to ignore my again. Im sorry to bring this upon you.
Wouldn't you have an address if you sent it to him?
Try a reverse phone directory lookup, filterng by state and name?
(12-16-2010, 08:40 PM)jonbobshinigin Dave, I am thrilled to hear about your success!Whoa now, it's only a test bench success so far... I'm not ready to call it a complete success until the pump is installed and the car is driving without problems! I'll start a new thread when that happens.
(12-16-2010, 08:42 PM)Mahonroy So I'm assuming I can call around some local diesel shops and have them do the same thing you mentioned? How much did something like this cost? Anything else I should know about before doing this? Thanks again!Basically yes, you can call some Bosch shops and see if they are willing to do custom work on a Bosch M-pump. Some will, some won't, kinda depends if they need the work and/or are comfortable handing you a pump that doesn't match any official Bosch spec sheet (i.e., they can't guarantee the results). Cost will likely be about $100 per element (for new 6mm Bosch elements), so ~$600 in elements, plus mabye $100 in "soft parts" (seals / gaskets), and $500-$750 labor for the rebuild and calibration. Figure at least $1200 total, and you supply the good core pump.
(12-16-2010, 09:04 PM)squirrelmaster I cannot get a hold of dave Last contact with him was over a month ago, I need his phone # He has had my pump since march 25 2010Well if it makes you feel any better (and it probably won't!)... back when I first learned that we might be able to stick 6mm elements into a 603 pump, I found a diesel performance shop in the southern USA (who shall remain nameless) who was interested in doing this as an experiment on the side. I bought a 603 core pump and used 606 pump and sent both to him. We exchanged emails periodically, and during that time he did send me a set of modified / rebuilt injectors to try, which I did (first set had problems, I sent them back and he sent a second set which worked well). But after two years - yes, two years - I still didn't have the pump done. He did return my 606 pump on my request, with apologies; he was too busy doing work that paid money to mess with my freebie/gratis project. I didn't get the 603 pump back (it was torn apart) but the good injectors made up for it. This was in mid 2007-2009, approx.

I am now convinced that the delays are based in the pumps directly.
My first pump (in Berlin) took also more than a year (now sitting in my garage waiting for installation for another year).
My M 5 turbo IP is now in the bench shop for nearly 2 months, had the guy on the phone yesterday and he said, like many times meanwhile, that the pump will be here next week.
Regarding David I hate not getting any feedback for quite a good time now.
All the deals with my elements were in time and without any complains.
Tom
Tom you are correct. It is the pump shops fault with the delay. That would be me.
First of all I will apologize to Derv Tuning. David is one hell of a nice guy. So David when you get back in country "I am sorry to have put you in this position."
When David asked me if I would be interested in doing this I told him I would do them when I had time. I have about 25 hours in the first pump trying to tweak it as much as I could. David had that pump on his car two or three times. We are a small shop and I try to put out the highest quality I can. To me the most important thing is idle. Any time you customize the pump the governor must still be able to control idle in a stable manor. With the first pump we achieved that goal.
I am working on the MW pump now. I don't like the way the governor is acting so I will probably need to go back into it. I am going to try and get this one done next week. I am hoping David gets back in town so he can install it on his car for dynamic testing.
Squirrelmaster your pump is torn down and coming up next. When you ship an injection pump please drain all fluids and really pack them well. Your idle solenoid was broken in transit. I have one from a core pump that I will put in.
After the new year I will be on Squirrelmasters. Hoping to have it done by the second week. Unfortunately we do not have a 6 cly vehicle to do dynamic testing on.

This is really good to hear! Now we need someone who can do some testing on a 603. My 603 Wagon is due for an IP swap because of a bottom seal leak. Well, I could just fix the leak but if the pump is coming out, an upgrade is going in!
If there is no one else capable of doing this (I am sure there is), I am willing, although I will need to come up with an intercooler ASAP. I do however have a larger turbo ready!
Has a 603 pump already been modded?
Hey guys I live in Northern NJ, if you guys need a 603 motor to do testings on. I am more then happy to use mine as a mule. The motor is in a w201, but shouldnt matter on the testings.
If things go well for you guys, I will be sending my pump for upgrades eventually.

If my hybrid 603 pump works well (which remains to be proven), I can give you the contact info of the shop that did my pump in Washington. I also have a spare 606 pump with 6mm elements that I might sell, although I'm not sure if it would be any cost savings as there would be additional labor to take apart the 606 pump to extract the elements, compared to just buying new ones.

The shop in WA ended up having my pumps for about a year, roughly, although that was partly because they built one pump right away and were waiting for results which never happened (the recipient was unable to test the pump in his car - long story). Finally we said to just go ahead and do the second pump anyway (mine) so they finished it up and I got it in September 2010. The next 3 month delay was my fault, but my end of the deal is to test it in my car, and provide before & after dyno graphs if it works out. If so, they'll be willing to do the same work for the general public, with an expected turnaround time of a few weeks I believe.
However - in both cases, I was able to get responses via email in 1-3 business days, even though it took many months for the pumps to finally return to me. I would expect the same from DervTuning... if you sent him pumps & paid for elements, you're at least due for a courtesy update!
FWIW, if the 6mm elements work as expected, I want to buy a set of 7.5mm Floyds from Tomnik and have the same WA shop build a pump with the Floyds. But, that's getting a little ahead... need to get data on the 6mm setup first.

If so, they'll be willing to do the same work for the general public, with an expected turnaround time of a few weeks I believe.
However - in both cases, I was able to get responses via email in 1-3 business days, even though it took many months for the pumps to finally return to me. I would expect the same from DervTuning... if you sent him pumps & paid for elements, you're at least due for a courtesy update!
FWIW, if the 6mm elements work as expected, I want to buy a set of 7.5mm Floyds from Tomnik and have the same WA shop build a pump with the Floyds. But, that's getting a little ahead... need to get data on the 6mm setup first.
Brief update:
Got the 6mm hybrid pump installed Friday night. Only put about 10 miles on it. So far it runs great - smooth idle, quick starts, returns to idle fine, etc. Had to turn up the tranny modulator 1 full turn and it needs another half to full turn again. It was late so I couldn't do any proper testing, but a quick 0-60 time was 9.5 sec, separate run of 0-70 was 12.5 sec, both quicker than previously but not a drastic increase. I'm not sure how accurate that is via hand-held stopwatch & looking at speedo, need to run it with my usual RaceTech AP-22 to get "real" data. I also have no idea if it's smoking or not - can't see at night. I can peg the boost gauge at will, press on the pedal and bam, 15psi. (With the stock pump, it would take a while at WOT to reach 10-12psi). I'll probably need to turn up the wastegate also - EGT's climb way faster. I'm not sure if I can do a dyno pull without an intercooler, also not sure if I can test 0-100 without an intercooler. We shall see. But so far, it's working!
Bad news - snow in forecast all weekend, it may be several days (or longer) before I can get any real numbers. I need clean dry pavement for testing. There's an inch of snow on the ground now and 1-3" more in the forecast today.
I suppose that is what "success" has translated to for me; progress!
Haha...I am very appreciative of Dave doing this work with the 6mm, however, if I am getting mine rebuilt, it will be with the 7.5s!! I am excited to hear about your results once the snow is gone. Also, what you said about the transmission is interesting as well since there is some speculation on how well the stock 722.317 is going to hold up...mine is already on the way out!
hey scott thank you for saying something, now i cando the waiting thing for a while. george 3soccer is your car a manual or auto mine is a 5 manual, I would be more then willing for you to use my pump in your car for a while to see how things go just please tell me how it goes, pos and neg
Mine is a 5 speed out of a w201 m102 8vlv motor. That includes the flywheel and clutch. Will see how long the clutch will last.
Im hapoy to be a test mule, i will be having a hx35 available for install aftet i makeshift a manifold. And a few other goodies before my initial pump would go in.
But guys let me know.
that clutch will be smoked berfore you can say oh shit i had the 215 mm flywheel on on first i could watch the tach in 4th and see the slip though it would still burnout in 1st or 2nd I brought the flywheel to a machine shop and had it machined to accept the 240mm out of a 87-88 300e .if your car has the stock manifold i think that might be ok correct me if i;m wrong but i think they need a running engine to see how idlles is and how fast it drops from rumming to idle etc I made a exhaust manifold and it took a long time to make so much grinding cutting. and slits in the plate that bolts to the head b4 u machine or belt it flat believe me it will warp as soon as u relieve it I just want to get this pump rolling cause it' becoming a Fucking career I'm tired of looking at thr 400e brakes on it and the holset he351 just sitting there, waiting to destroy tires
Sound's like we need to see some pics!
