rusty_wingnut Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi I am ordering up parts to convert my 90 to 3.9V8 and wanted a reccomendation on an out of tank pump that is reliable, typically a Pacet type. What do people use? Also ny hints on fuel lines to convert a Tdi tank would be useful. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 http://fuelsystem.co.uk/ have Bosch & Walbro, the Walbro 255 seems to be an almost universal pump-of-choice for EFI. Main list is here: http://fuelsystem.co.uk/Out-tank%20fuel%20injection%20pumps.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I vote for the standard RR Pump from early sorts (steel tanks that have a ring of bolts Good for up to 120PSI and cheap (DO NOT BUY A NEW GENUINE ! and DEFO do NOT buy a pattern, just buy a working s/h one These can be dropped into a 90 tank, you may need to extend the pipe to end up with pump at the very bottom Be carefull of pull vs push pumps, get it wrong and the pump will bleed down and last for "Days" if not hoyrs I know this for a unknown and unexplained reason ...Like Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I did the same as Nige and quite a few other people, was discussed here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=63968&hl=&fromsearch=1 We are of course, assuming you are going EFI and not clockwork 19th Century technology If you are having to frig the diesel tank anyways, the above solution is actually the simplest, and least time consuming as you get it all done at the same time.

rusty_wingnut Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 have spent my pocket money this month with Nigel! and going from 300tdi to V8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Excellent, that's the sort of thing we like to see - far too much rattling & black smoke in off-roading these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Looks interesting, perhaps that is the way to go then. Out of interest why not new (gen or not)? I have a 1996 3.9 from a Discovery with an auto attached, I want to keep my truck manual so I am going to try the trick of R380 V8 bellhousing onto Tdi R380 and modify the crank spigot in the lathe. The only really hard bit for me is engine mounts, I don't want to chop and modify the chassis so some fab is needed on the block mounts to link them to the tdi mounts. This could involve a huge amount of messing around with exhausts and all sorts, I have in my manifold collection: -P38 manifolds -Unknown tubulars -Standard 3.9 that came with the engine. One set must fit with my potential arrangement Standard Disco transfer 1.2 (235 road tyres) TD radiator, 3.9 manual clutch plates. Tdi Rakeway release bearing, 300tdi arm, 300tdi slave with extension pipe. And 4 days to get it all to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably 'cos new genuine ones are ££££ and non-genuine are carp.

Are you sure the input shaft will reach, V8 bellhousings are quite long, I had a feeing the TDi ones are shorter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 On the gearbox front I read this: http://forums.lr4x4....showtopic=54238 and got the impression it would fit. I could be wrong though and would welcome any input.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
