Bosch diesel pump convert electronic to mechanical?

Inline? rotary? Turbo? What's it fitted to? Model of pump?

ask dieselmeken, I would imagine he will know what to do and probably has done it.

there are E34 m51d25's runnning mechanical where they once had the vp37 electrically controlled pump, i think with ve bits.

Only from other audi 5 cylinder diesel. The older 100/200 series were available with a mechanical pump. From a TD would be best.

Why not swap/fix the pump? Easiest option. Mechanical conversion makes the engine less refined.

Very similar pump used on the Volvo 850 and V70 TDI which use the same Audi engine.

IIRC the 5 port head can be swapped onto other pumps that originally had 4 or 6 ports

Another option if you want to make power, would be a 5cyl inline pump from a Merc.

Any of the 5cyl diesels in the 190, w124, w202, and a few sprinters. The 310 and 312 sprinters actually had a rotary VE pump for a while too.

It does but the inline pumps can be configured to run either direction with the right bits, but as I say that's only if your building the pump to make power. You'll also need a pulley that fit's as most are chain drive.

If your just wanting to bin the electrics there are older VAG 5 cyl diesel's that can donate a pump.

thats for a non turbo 2.4, and has a £150 surcharge on top of the £370.

I think all the turbo 2.5's are semi electronic things, a friend has an A6 tdi 110 bhp engine in his originally 2.4D T4 running the Volvo turbo.
