Which electric pre-pump for 7.5-8mm plungers???
Which electric pre-pump for 7.5-8mm plungers???
I think to change stock lift pre-pump provided quite low efficiency of this stock element for the 7.5-8mm plungers based fuel pump.
the options for my OM606 I keep in mind are:
1) mechanic pump (lets say from from OM611) + FPR (lets say Aeromotive)
2) Electric (lets say 044) + FPR
3) Electric (either 004 or 044) + PWM managed by boost sensor
the pros/cons I think of at the moment are:
option 1 above:
+ no alternator dependance / load
+ engine RPM linked
+ FPR can be additionally linked to boost
+ high reliability
- no belt - no fuel
- some load to the engine
- the fuel pressure / rpm curve needs to be tested
option 2:
+ no belt dependance
+ very high fuel pressure
- alternator load - fuel consumption
- some embeded reliability issue (electric pump
option 3:
+ no FPR required
- needs to be calibrated to any new type of sensors
- PWM
- alternator load - fuel consumption
- some embeded reliability issue (electric pump)
I appreciate your ideas / concerns to the above approaches as I recently faced a fuel pressure issue on my 7.5 pump at high rpm and would like to change the set up
any other suggestions are welcome ))))))))))))
044 and a basic BOSCH 3bar regulator after them pump, remove the return line bolt that regulates it now. I use a FPR from a early SAAB 900 SPG and it works great, super easy and cheap but not junk.
whats wrong with the bosch 044 type replicas made in china, i have one for 2years now, running great.
u really dont need any press regulator device, simply cause u have one in the return banjo bolt in the IP.
stock bosch is ,5BAR . so easy to find one at 3BAR , almost every lucas rotary stile have one. just bolt in.

Hey FRAS !!!
i was not talking about that, most common problem, i belive people find in using a 044 type electrical fuel pump is pipe bursting (blown piping) leaks of many order, O ring failure, correct??? that was what i experienced.
i found a easy way of overcoming that problem, and is so easy that that it is just hurts the brain out!
1 if we have the lift pump working as stock, it is able to flow upstream.
2 stock fuel filter assy has a small orifice to purge air in the system on the return line.
3 the IP itself has a press reg device of .5BAR at the exit banjo.
considering this, the stock system is able of controling the press. what u have to mod is the size of the restrictor hole at the fuel filter, and the banjo bolt at IP. as i said rotary stile pumps like lucas have one bolt wich is bolt in for our IP´s set at 3BAR instead of .5.
this 044 pumps are able to what 200lts/h at 5 bar!!! that is 3.3 lts min, 0.05 lts every second or 50cc every second.
so my engine is at 5k RPM, 110cc/1000 strokes so 41 strokes every sec. 110/1000x41= 45 cc injected fuel every sec. i dont belive my 044 replica will hold the 5 BAR at 5krpm.
brain storming lol,
can i PM u regarding a clutch problem.
