Here's the project "to do" list: (Boring but it's necessary)
X - Buy stainless fittings for exhaust manifold
O - Buy aluminum tubing for intake
O - Cut and fab exhaust manifold
O - Take exhaust manifold to shop for welding
O - Fab and move engine mount
O - Fit turbo to engine
O - Design turbo feed to SC
O - Fab bypass valves and turbo feed
O - Finish SC pulley mount and powder coat
O - Sandblast and paint SC
O - Fab cover for SC
O - Arrange to have pump fitted with new elements

Well, it's been a month since my last update. I've been going round and round in my head re-designing the exhaust manifold. I think I have the final bugs worked out now and I can go ahead and order the parts.

11-21-2010, 06:59 PM #55How far are you going to go into the SC? I just replaced the needle bearings on the tail end, I have part #s if you want them. I also replaced the coupling - big difference in noise! I ended up scuffing and painting it, I didn't want to subject to the abrasives and heat of the powder coating process - just my two cents.

Sorry, it's supposed to be PAINT the SC. I had originally wanted to PC it but most of the coatings are not rated for the projected temperatures in the induction system so I've decided to just stick with paint.
The SC is in excellent shape. Seems like it was a rebuild before I bought it - tight and smooth.

I need a source for the gasket that goes between the "governor" cover and the main housing on the injection pump. The Russian site doesn't even show a part number for it.

Assuming it's the 606.962, I believe you want p/n 005-997-23-40, which shows up under the 606.912 engine or (European) 605.962, but they should use the same formed O-ring seal. Do a reverse lookup in the EPC and see if it's the one you want. It shows as callout #35 in the EPC for the 606.962 but no part number is displayed... one of the oddities in the EPC, I've seen this type of thing before, think there was a similar issue with DV seals or something like that.

Tomorrow I have a date with the pump man to discuss the project in detail. I have a parts pump (thanks Dave) and I'll be taking that in for him to have a look at.Here's a list of the scope of the work I expect him to do. Any comments welcome.
Quote:
3/2/2011
Scope:
Install of customer supplied items:
New 7.5mm pump elements.
New Viton™ O-rings.
New side, bottom and back cover gaskets.
New shaft seal.
Modified advance device.
Adjustments:
Balance element output at idle and 80% rack travel. Customer will provide 80% rack position stop. (Open for discussion)
Set element to 9.5cc/1000 at idle rack position. Customer will provide idle rack stop.
Balance port closure to specs using existing cam rollers plus a combination of customer supplied spares and new parts if available.
Final assembly:
Torque all bolts to Bosch factory specs.
Torque DV holders in 3 steps according to Bosch factory specs with new customer supplied crush washers.
Note:
Lift pump will be eliminated and replaced with an electric pump so no lift pump maintenance is required.
It's starting to move along a little now and I'm excited to be making some progress!

I have both of the exhaust manifold flanges nearly done. (front 3 and back 3) The only things yet to do are to mill the groove for the piping to fit and be welded into. I also pulled the injection pump today and I'll be stripping it this week in preparation for the new element install this Thursday and Friday.
As of now, I don't know the final cost on the pump work but based on my conversations with the manager, it's not going to be a lot of money since he won't have to try and balance a mechanical mechanism to fit the new elements. Basically, he's installing the elements, balancing the output and port closure.
I'll post more updates as things happen.

Here's where I'm at now. I've been taking classes to be certified on various machine tools. I can do a few things with my own shop tools but this project is requiring more heavy duty machining.

Also, the timing index mark appears to be a metal tab with a hole in it. Do I set the timing by aligning the timing number in the hole or what?
Thanks for the help!

Here's an easy question: What timing mark do I set the engine at before re-installing the pump. I believe when the mark is at TDC, the pump tab was aligned with the slot in the pump tool.

14° ATDC, set with the mark at the edge of the tab - ignore the hole. You need the lock tool for the IP to install it, otherwise it will not remain in position.

you can choose the position of the tap or better this has to be set by the shop that does the element swap. You should tell the guy to check begin of delivery and compare it with the IP cam position.
On the mechanical pumps (60x engines) the tap is on the fly weights. The fly weight assembly is on the conical end of the cam. Held in position with the locking device and tightened at a certain plunger lift.
Don't ask why I know this in detail...
A good shop will tell you at what crank position the locking device has to go in. Original is 15deg ATDC crank position.

Yes, but there is no benefit because they are identical. You'll actually lose power since the 606 is only 120hp while a 603a is 148hp.

Almost identical but not quite. The 606 is a non-turbo and has an ADA, while the 603 is a turbo and has an ALDA (for North American models, anyway). The 606 pump would need to be recalibrated to deliver more fuel on a turbo 603 if you want the full power delivery. Unless of course you are located in Europe and are referring to a non-turbo 603 engine...

After i fitted my 7.5mm elements i put the pump on to engine without any adjustments to the elements and run the engine. Then i did my test and cylinders 4 and 2 where putting out twice as much fuel as the rest at idle.
I used a measuring tube and by running my 5 cylinder engine on 4 cylinders for exactly 60 seconds with one injector pipe spraying diesel into the tube i was able to measure quantities. Then i reconnected that injector pipe and let the engine clear itself back on all cylinders before going to the next pipe. This bit is important because you will get different results if you dont let the engine get back on all cylinders before going to the next pipe.
You will need an assistant and a stop watch to get this right. Start the engine and time from when it fires and then at 60 seconds switch it off and measure. Reconnect pipe and start engine and let it clear. Then repeat for every cylinder. Adjust elements on the rack to suit and you will have a sweet running engine. You can do a crack test on the injector lines before and after adjustments and you will see the difference. You could spend a few hours at this to get it perfect.
My engine was my test bench which allowed me to set the pump up for the situation its going to be in on the engine with different bends in the lines etc.

(03-03-2011, 09:43 PM)E300TSC Note:
Lift pump will be eliminated and replaced with an electric pump so no lift
Based on that sentence - I have a few questions:
What kind of electric pump do you plan on running?
How do you intend on bypassing the OEM lift pump bolted to the injection pump? Block off plate? Custom fuel lines? Are you also eliminating the fuel heater/thermostat?
What kind of pressure do these electronically controlled inline pumps like? I'm used to the inline P7100's on the Cummins B5.9's and they like (depending on who you ask...) at least 25-35 psi at idle...and never less than that when under load or at higher RPM.

No, I'm not keeping the stock manifold, I'm designing and fabricating a custom piece.
Yes, I installed the elements myself. It's actually not that hard but it was very time consuming because I had to invent the special tools I needed to accomplish the task without damaging anything.
Wayne, that's great info. Thanks!
Matt, I'm probably going to use a Powerstroke stock fuel pump. They're pretty cheap ($65) and should be able to supply enough fuel to support the my 400HP goal. I'm going to regulate the pressure to around 25 PSI as you say. I'll develop an adjustable regulator so I can optimize the pressure. No sense pushing more than it needs...
For now, I'm keeping the fuel system intact and I'll be making small mods as I go along. Eventually, I would use a blocking plate for the old fuel pump hole.So, an update:
Last night I got it started for the first time. It settled into a fairly normal idle with an even clatter with no smoke. However, it's VERY slow to rev. I checked the timing and found that I had improperly set the initial number and it had somehow slipped to 24* ATDC. I think it was the slop in the cam chain and I had not fully advanced the engine to the proper position since the crank shaft had slipped when I was removing the pump and I had to reset it.
I also have fuel leaking badly from the injection lines at the pump. It always seems like a pain to get them to stop leaking. Maybe I have to "square up" the lines in the holders before tightening them.
One other thing: DON'T RUN/CRANK YOUR ENGINE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP OFF! Found out the hard way that it dumps oil out of the lubrication port...

(05-10-2011, 05:18 AM)E300TSC Matt, I'm probably going to use a Powerstroke stock fuel pump. They're pretty cheap ($65) and should be able to supply enough fuel to support the my 400HP goal.
OK - sounds like a winner so far.
If you are going to leave the OEM pump in place, where in the system do you intend on splicing in the PS pump? The reason I ask is that some pumps don't take well to having fuel forced through them.
I'm glad to hear you got 'er running - and especially glad that it settled into a good idle. That's an encouraging sign that the OEM electronics can handle larger elements! Nice work!

(05-10-2011, 05:18 AM)E300TSC One other thing: DON'T RUN/CRANK YOUR ENGINE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP OFF! Found out the hard way that it dumps oil out of the lubrication port...
why didn't you ask, I could have told you since I played with pump and timing device. But it was my friend who watched deep into the chain drive when I started the car
How long did it take that you got my elements to run?
I hardly remember that you were the first guy in the US I sent elements.
Great job so far but wait until she breathes with all the "respiratory equipment" you installed..

Tom, the engine started instantly as soon as the air was purged. It sounded totally normal at idle. The only strange thing is that when I revved the engine, it would start making a "rump" "rump" sound as the ECU was hunting for a normal speed. I feel that this is because the rack is now too close to the closed position and the ECU can't modulate it properly to maintain a proper idle speed.
Otherwise, the only thing I did was swap elements - no other adjustments besides using the heavier DV springs you sent with the 7mm elements.
I wanted to see how bad it would run without adjustment and it ran quite well!
1998 MB E300 - 194,000 miles. Current/future mods: 7.5mm pump elements, Holset HX40 Turbo feeding Eaton M90 supercharger through custom fabbed intake system. Aeroturbine muffler, scratch-built 4" stainless exhaust. EGR eliminated, ECM recalibrated, modified rack position feedback circuit. Porterfield RS brake pads, Bilstein sport shocks, VDO EGT, oil and boost gauges.
2000 Ford F250 - 150,000 miles. Current/future mods: DP Tuner 3 map chip, scratch-built high flow intake, high output IDM, open circuit fuel system, ball bearing turbo, South Bend full metal clutch, slotted and drilled rotors. Autometer Sport Comp EGT and boost gauges.
Matt, I will not leave the stock pump in place. I plan on crossing over the fuel lines to bypass it. In theory, the best place to put the electric pump is in the back, between the fuel tank outlet and the line leading forward to the engine.

OK - that's what I was thinking you'd do.
When you rev'd up the engine, did it sound like this? I've always thought that it was the governor bouncing a bit until it stabilized at higher RPM that caused this to occur on a lot of heavily modified pulling engines. With an electronic governor, the same sort of thing could be happening...

hi, have you modified the rack in any way? Maybe your timing is still out? I have no trouble with ecu now and made 266hp at 4300rpm, now i have 5500rpm and my clutch is gone so i don't know what power i have now that i have more rpm.

I will now have to devise a way to get it out so I can get the pump back off to reset the timing...

No, it revved normally, it just sounded stifled and then surged at idle.

Oh yes, the timing is still 10 deg too far retarded. Now another problem, I stripped the hex head out of the bottom bolt that holds the vacuum pump on.
