TD42 Information

[Ben-e-boy]

I see hall 4x4 have a injector pump from an 04 td42ti. The block I have is a td42t from and earlier gu. I can't use this on my 01 gu can I?

That pump is the electronic version, the block would be the same but you would have to sort the smarts that control it

So a no go Ben? Say for arguments sake. What price should I be looking at for a good second hand injector pump?

There is no issue with the electronic version, the (sort of) issue is a few diesel shops steer clear of it, and when tuning just disconnectmthe electronics and it defaults to full advance.

The pump is the the heart of the engine. I know it is an extra cost but a brand new pump should (IMO must) be budgeted for.

As Dale said 150kw can be achieved on an 11mm but it is at the high end of its capapbility.

Taking all this in... so ideally I don't get an electronic pump? But I must get one from a GU....

[Ben-e-boy]

I would spend 2k on a 12mm pump.

I'd assume that would be on a rebuilt unit?

Spend as little as possible on a core to send away for rebuild. Gq or gu. Makes no difference if its being custom built.

It does a little as they will charge you more if you supply them with a non compensated and want a compensated item.

A mechanical pump will be a lot easier. If you wanted to spend the coin and unichip it you could see some nice results but it will cost you. A good secondhand unit should be around 6-800. But knowing pump condition is like trying to know the condition of a secondhand motor.

[nissannewby]

Well. Reliability and more ponies under the hood than what my current motor is... I know I can't afford big horsepower, but my knowledge on what figures to expect for what I choose is limited to zero on the knowledge scale. Is looking for 140 to 150 kw a stupid thought? Just throwing numbers really.
Let's put it another way. What is Paul getting from his GU?
Sorry if I seem all over the shop, I just don't know where to start with this.
Thanks Benny.

Paul's I believe made about 127kw at the wheels.
