Throttle body to smooth superpumps?
Throttle body to smooth superpumps?

Could a butterfly be added to starve the engine of air at low rpm to smooth out the idle->2,000 rpm when using a superpump? Some kind of a setup to make it more streetable, and then disable it when flooring it?

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

lots of diesels use a throttle body but I have no idea how they are timed. most if not all the ones I can think of are electronic controlled either common rail or electronic pumps. Here is an example that Delphi does http://delphi.com/manufacturers/cv/power...-controls/

Regardless of it being a Super Pump or stock, the engine should idle smooth, baring a mechanical issue. From what I have seen with the stock MW pumps, the element timing and balancing tolerance speck is pretty large to begin with. Then the addition of marginal quality / designed large elements that are installed with the stock tolerances is added to the mix and the result is an engine that runs like crap at low speeds, at high speeds you don't notice it as much, but it is still running like crap, smoking and high EGTs.
IMOP focus should be on getting a quality pump, not a way to mask the problem. And what I mean by a quality pump is that the specks that are used are way tighter than Bosch specks. Even MB issued a bulletin to deal with complaints about a ruff idle, and the fix was to balance the elements closet to each other. With 7 or 10 mm elements, it does not take much of an imbalance to make the engine shake.
Just my unsolicited 2 cents.

08-23-2012, 06:20 PM #7I agree about balancing everything, what I'm talking about is smoothing the action when you go from a touch of pedal to say 15% pedal? As I understand it a modded pump, balanced or not, will feel like an on/off switch. I don't know firsthand, I don't have a superpump :p

If the plungers have sharp stepped retarding notches as apposed to angled or progressive, that can do what you are describing, also poor idle governor set up will do the same thing, can make it want to hunt at idle or just off idle as well.
