Can you convert a VE pump to P pump?

The p-pump will not bolt the the VE housing. The lines will not interchange. The VE has the lines out the back in a round pattern.

What’s the difference between P pump and VE pump?

Registered. The P-pump would be the best choice for an all out performance build. The VE pump is a single piston pump and is limited on what you can get out of it. Basically, every cylinder is fired from one source.

How much HP can you get out of a VE pump?

The first performance barrier is the Bosch VE injection pump, which with its timid fueling from the factory leaves much to be desired in terms of performance. Luckily, with simple hand tools and $0 invested, it can be tweaked enough to add more than 70 hp to the engine’s bottom line.

Can you turn up a VE pump?

The Bosch VE pump can be turned up by turning the power adjustment screw clockwise about 1 to 2 turns. This power adjustment screw is located on the firewall end of the injection pump under a plastic cover that will pop off.

When did dodge stop using the 12 valve Cummins?

Cummins produced the 5.9L 12v Cummins for Ram pickup applications through the 1998 model year, where it was phased out in favor of a more emissions friendly 24 valve platform.

What was the last year for the 12 valve Cummins?

1998
1998 – The 12-valve era ended (midyear) as the 5.9 gained a 24-valve head and electronic fuel management for the sake of improved emissions. The inline P7100 pump was replaced with the Bosch VP44 rotary electronic pump.

Are VE pumps reliable?

The VE pump is very very reliable. Can it make high power? Not compared to the other pumps, but they can still make 450rwhp. The ticket to the VE is that they make a lot of torque.

What is VE injection pump?

The VE injection pump is a mechanically controlled, axial-piston rotary pump. It uses a vane-type supply pump to generate an internal pump pressure that increases with engine speed. It has a single pumping plunger, called a distributor plunger.

How much HP can a stock 12v Cummins handle?

800 rwhp
The forged-steel connecting rods found in the 12-valve 5.9L (and ‘98.5-’02 24-valve engines) are of an I-beam design and capable of easily handling 800 rwhp in stock form.

What does the smoke screw do on a VE pump?

Low Boost Fueling Adjustment (Smoke Screw) Tightening this screw will increase low boost fueling. Loosening this screw will reduce low boost fueling. You should adjust this screw to the point there is a light haze with heavy throttle but 0 boost pressure.

Where are the valves on a VE pump located?

Six individual delivery valves (four if a 4BT) are located within the VE pump body itself, each one being linked to its dedicated fuel injector in the engine’s cylinder head. In many applications, injection timing is mechanically advanced by as much as 5 degrees while the engine is idling to aid in cold-weather warm-up.

Can a VE pump power a P7100?

And while the VE pump can’t support the kind of power the P7100 will, it can easily be hot-rodded enough to wake up a sleepy 4BT or 6BT. In fact, either injection pump can be tweaked for higher fuel flow with a few simple hand tools. For more on that, along with how each injection pump operates, keep scrolling.

How much does it cost to convert a P7100?

Scheid Diesel’s P7100 Conversion kit starts at just under $2,300 (minus the pump) and comes with virtually everything needed to perform the swap.

Should I P-pump a 24-valve or a P7100?

For both street and competition applications, P-pumping a 24-valve has long been thought of as offering the best of both worlds. It combines the extreme fueling capabilities of the P7100 with the higher-u001f owing 24-valve head.
