So, it been a while that it is time for some update. There is been done already some work on the project but now we are really going good! We first had to rebuild the injection pump, as it is a inline fuel pump that feeds my td42 we had to find a way to give it a boost compensation so the engine gets enough fuel. Because the td42 are rare here there was no option to find a rotative IP so I started to search the options I had with the standard pump… during my search I find out that de SD33T engines had also an inline fuel pump with compensation so I tried to find such a pump. When I found one the build could began. I have swapped the compensation a mechanical control from the SD33t pump on my td42 pump and it worked! So now I have a hybrid pump on the engine.
this is afther she was rebuild when bench testing:





The next problem was that the IP is longer, so the first oil filter didn’t fit anymore… There was nothing else to do than placing a relocation kit and put the filter on another place so we did.

The oil pan is also been upgraded with oil drain plugs for the 2 turbo’s.


Now we are busy with building the exhaust manifolds. It’s a bit of work but they look pretty nice. There is already 1 that I have test fit on the engine and it looks not bad at all. So they need to be finished soon so the turbo’s can be placed. (it are turbo’s from a 400 cdi mercedes engine (4 liter v8 twin turbo))





The next is build is the intake manifold with integrated water to air intercooler, placing a new alloy intercooler and complete the whole system. alt het parts are ordere so I'm waiting till they come in.
So this is what we have for this moment.

I keep you updated!
