TR6 Poor Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 When you guys convert to the Bosch pump from the Lucas, what is the Bosch pump part number, and, what cars was it originally used on? Also, can you buy the bracket that will hold the filter and pump separate? Or, do you just spend about 300 lbs. on the kit from the PI master? Thanks for any help you give, and Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike G Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi This information has been posted previously, so the cost may have risen! Bosch has rationalised their range and the choice appears to be between: - a) 0 580 254 909 Universal Fit 0 580 254 996 Direct Fit The flow rates for both these pumps are in excess of 90 litres/hour. The 996 pump is usually the one supplied with the kits available from such as: - TRGB £259 inc vat TR Bitz £194 - Moss £264 - Pumps can be purchased separately one source being Camco Fuel Injection Supplies, Unit129, Hoyle Street, Warrington, WA5 5LR. Tel 01925 455688. a) 909 pump £85 inc vat 996 - £135 - The original fuel filter can be retained or replaced with a Fram filter of similar capacity such as G 6400, which is easily fitted, more compact, easier to change, costs less than £10, and can be fixed anywhere convenient using an ignition coil type bracket.

88V8 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 And when it all goes pear-shaped and you're on your own because you enterprisingly assembled a bitsa here's where you can get the test equipment at low cost: Hydrotechnik's 0-10 bar gauges ( 9801-01-00.10) glycerine filled, stainless steel body, http://www.hydrotechnik.co.uk/gauges.htm Their Minimess test point SNA02 can be permanently fitted to the inlet of the metering unit so testing the fuel pressure takes a matter of seconds: http://www.hydrotechnik.co.uk/Minimess_1620_SNA_BSP.htm The microbore hose ( 2 metres long ) S100-AC-FA-02.00 to connect it all together: http://www.hydrotechnik.co.uk/Minimess_mic..._hose_AC-FA.htm If you do a TR6 forum search Bosch +part you will acquire a profusion of knowledge.

raydrink Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 There's one on eBay now - though I don't agree with some of the Technical Spec details. Caveat Emptor I'm afraid. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bosch-0580254909-VW-...id=p3286.c0.m14 Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
88V8 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 There's one on eBay now - though I don't agree with some of the Technical Spec details. Caveat Emptor I'm afraid. I bought a 'Bosch' pump on eBay for a spare, now it may be perfectly good, I haven't yet the equipment to test it, but nowhere does it say 'Bosch' or any other maker's name. Best ask the seller is it genuine Bosch, or a clone. And I agree about the spec, the PI needs a 115 psi pump, not 5.0 bar. Ivor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
