Long Ago there was a .....
Bloke who swapped his Gq for a Non running Gu , thought it was a good deal , bit of a wiz around diesels [so i thought] Bloke said it just died? , okay no biggy ...
Enter the dirty 3.0 TD DI Nissan GU patrol engine , well , first day we got it running on stat ya B@stard , life is good right? hell YEAH! , got it to the top of the driveway , dies , like run out of fuel .
roll back into the garage , get it running but this time we couldnt use the throttle , to look under the hood we find air assisted throttle , non commonrail , no bleed points on the pump anywhere!
remove intercooler then dive straight into bleeding the injectors , couldnt get fuel to the injectors ,so i decide to rip them out , [not sure why but they werent missing or anything]
Replace injector 0rings and new copper washers , again turn it over no fire , pump her hard to the point it felt like i couldnt push the primer anymore or itll colapse!
got it running [WICKED] but no throttle , after about a minute could rev to 1000rpm! [OMG WTH?????]
ripped out fuel primer , replaced fuel lines .... LIKE FROM THE TANK! STILL NO FIRE? no run?
give up , went inside and sulked ,...... next morning it fired right up . but wouldnt rev . now this all got me thinking that if it doesnt retain fuel to the injectors ill put a check valve on it!
gave up on that idea as noone sold them for 5mm fiel line .
second can of start ya b@stard , starting to run low
checked ecu , checked AFM , checked EVERYTING! except IP ....
sourced an injector pump off a bloke , $300 off a running engine [omg cheap!]
so now im at the point of do i need to have it calibrated once installed onto my engine?
or do i just set the engine to TDC and set my pump up on the mark and turn the key and drive off into the sunset/?????
BTW 1st time poster long time reader!
kind regards Big
