VE Pumps for OM engines
VE Pumps for OM engines
This thread is for the use of a VE pump inplace of a PE pump on a om603 as an alternative to Myna.
Most likely candidate is the VW D24T (used in volvo mostly):
VE6/10F2400L116
VOLVO
D24T
0 460 406 018
From my PE experience I see this is a 6cyl 10mm element rated at 2400rpm (assuming half speed of crank)==4800 rpm max. L116 is the governor? Is the max rpm correct? Seems low. I see the VE pump for OM602 mercedes engine is:
0 460 415 992
6020708301
VE5/11E1900R641
MERCEDES-BENZ
OM 602.980 DELA
This would indicate as 11mm element. I guess the RPM is notated differently as the M pump for instance is 360 * 2 * 10 == 7200 max rpm.
Less stroke is my guess, the cam plate looks to only move ~ 5 to 6mm.
(04-20-2011, 05:12 PM)300D50 Less stroke is my guess, the cam plate looks to only move ~ 5 to 6mm.
(04-20-2011, 05:12 PM)300D50 Less stroke is my guess, the cam plate looks to only move ~ 5 to 6mm.
It looks like the only thing stopping this from becoming a reality is the adapter collar on the input that mates to the splined gear on the timing chain. If I can find that part number I am willing to give this a try.
Can anyone with BOSCH connections find out about the interfacing plate on this? I will take measurements tonight but it seems possible that a simple collar could be fabbed up to mount on the seemingly standard VE pump (tapering nose).

What kind of sprocket have you used? What is the source of it?
Is it available for Mercedes engines?
Do you need the VE pump to bee electronic? If not i would use one from a cummins engine. It has a 12mm plunjer.
The stroke of the plunjer in a VE is usualy arond 3mm,most less, some more.
The biggest problem of a VE is filling the plunjer on higher rpm, use a liftpump to enhance the filling.
There is a ton off info on moding the pump to get more rpm an power off it, google is your friend. that is if you need more power
(04-21-2011, 12:36 PM)devtonAre you sure the sprockets are different? Any idea on the part number for the correct one? the 12v cummins pumps are fairly cheap and an upgrade from the sprinter (element size). Does anyone know what kind of quantity is delivered at WOT on the 12v cummins pump?(04-21-2011, 11:57 AM)winmutt Can anyone with BOSCH connections find out about the interfacing plate on this?

My pump is same like on the pictures. You can use this adapter , but you need the sprocket too, because the VE pump using a gear other than the inline pumps. The injection timing is adjusted by ip pump itself.

And the max for the M/MW pumps? I see in diesel meken's vid hes putting out 117 and I have heard 130 from the myna pumps.
I am assuming that the M 60x pump is the same output at the 602 VE in which case the cummins pump would be an upgrade but nothing to write home about. I have read that there are other cam plates as well as some magical 14mm pump. Still with the cummins pump as cheap as they are ($150) if I can sort out the input interface this might be a super cheap upgrade/replacement....
(04-22-2011, 10:34 AM)tomnik Go for a Cummins pump, install it and report back.
It is the same thing: larger plunger=better.

govener springs are available for the ve, at least for dodge trucks. Stock rpm 2500, highest spring available I think is around 4000, maybe 4200.
Just for what its with most dodge owners that want serious performance want the p pump. the ve is considered to be weak. All your pumping is by one element. I still am using the ve, although I did lose one in Oklahoma, in the middle of nowhere. I'm not saying not to try it, just wondering if it really is the best choice.
Don't you need a whole new distributor head in order to swap to a larger plunger? Far as I can tell, it looks to be that they are matched parts...
Hmm....
That Sprinter pump above is not a 'VE' type, and its not mechanical control....
Its a 'VP' type--A 'Electronic fly-by-wire' pump. a VP37 to be exact....
To fit a Cummins or any other Mechanical EP-VE axial-plunger pump in place of a PES Inline, you have a couple of major issues.
Do you stick with the M.B. Timing-Device or go with the replacement pump's internal timing-device
--Replacement pump's timing will be set for donor engine and would not directly suit the MB engine, without altering the curve...
--So, you go for MB timing device...
That means you must dis-able the new pump's internal timing device, and account for this in the initial timing/pump postion setting--How do you determine this?....
Will the front casting of the VP Sprinter pump and the shaft/spline part remove from the Sprinter VP and fit a Cummins VE--I dont think so....
--Looks to be part of the pump casting to me...
--If this was an easy alteration I'm sure Myna would have made available an EP-VE to fit the O.M. series and not messed with the PES at all, as there are so many different hydraulic-heads and plunger sizes available and the EP-VE is much more adaptable to different engine demands because of this, and those VP37 on Sprinters have been around in Europe for donkey's years!....

He means advance/retard of timing based on RPM, not phasing of the cylinders.
Yeah the 617 pump has a timing device in the sprocket or something that advances timing with rpm correct?
I still don't understand what is the intention to go for a Vx pump.
The only thing that would make sense is to go for a pump that is made for an output that fits to our performance ideas.
The only option then is the Cummins pump.
Using a pump from a similar displacement/hp engine is not enough except you change the plunger. Larger plunger might want a different pump body as done on VW/Audi. This is done by VW guys with 1.6l engines by using parts from (mechanical) TDI pumps...
But still not enough fuel for us.
Finding such a plunger or even fabricate one for a more or less direct exchange option (Sprinter) could be difficult.
Many of such modified pumps on VW break because of the additional load on the IP cam.
Getting a Cummins pump for cheap and installing it on a 603/606 engine could be the easiest way.

More pics. These I found on ebay.de without the collar on the front. I do believe we have a win here folx.
Here is the parts diagram from the russian catalog :
However I cant find a specific reference to the timing part that goes on the front. Anyone have access to the european EPC? I believe the missing information is in 07-060.
I found this:

(04-25-2011, 08:58 AM)winmutt Yes. For the Cummins guys there is a 14mm pump upgrade. Not sure what the output volumes are on that.
Stupid question, but what about setting the pop pressure higher and running 2-stage injectors?
I know the MW pump is designed for a higher injection pressure than the M was, so why not use it to get better atomization and an even shorter injection duration? At least till we blow out the flame or slice the prechamber ball in half...

A little bit of work to be done on the injector pipes as well....but as Tomnik says,fitting a Stock Cummins unit and monitoring the results would be a worthwhile exercise.
I remeber studying the Bosch VE pumps in college many moons ago when they first became popular in the 1.5&1.6 litre VW Golf diesels and one characteristic that was inherent in the VE pump is that it made the engine very lively in comparison to an engine driven by an inline pump....So on that basis alone it will be interesting to see how it transforms an OM603/606.
Tha main advantage of the inline pump was always it durability and its ability to handle a cupful of water/contaminated fuel once in a while,without any drastic breakdowns or failures occurring....

(04-25-2011, 11:26 AM)winmutt I see. There has to be some kind of advancing mechanism on the cummins pump.http://www.dieselbombers.com/1st-generat...ation.html
Quote:Vane pump fuel pressure lubricates moving parts in the rest of the pump, supplies fuel to the distributor plunger for the injectors, and controls injection timing advance mechanism.
Quote:Injection Timing Advance
Near the end of each compression stroke, diesel fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber. Injection must continue well past piston TDC in order to burn the necessary amount of fuel to provide engine power.
As engine speed increases, stroke timing becomes shorter and injection timing becomes longer. Burning must begin sooner to ensure that peak combustion pressures still occur at the most efficient point after TDC.
Diesel injection timing is advanced by a hydraulic piston in the injection pump:
As engine speed increases, fuel pressure from the vane pump also increases. Vane pump pressure pushes the injection advance piston to the left against the spring so that the roller housing turns slightly.
Since the cam plate is turning in the opposite direction, the "ramps" on the cam plate engage the roller sooner whenever the injection advance piston moves to the left. This means that the distributor plunger beings injection sooner.
The injection timing advance piston is located in the bottom of the injection pump body:
The only cold start and warm-up device necessary for the diesel fuel system is a control which advances injection timing at idle and during low speed running.
A lever turns a cam which pushes the hydraulic piston to the left. This advances injection time about 5 degrees.
This injection advance provides more time for the fuel to burn, which improves performance and prevents smoking during cold starts and warm-up.
The cold start cam does not advance the complete range of injection timing. Above 2200 rpm, the piston operates normally and does not contact the cam:

(04-26-2011, 09:59 AM)dieselmeken Here is some "knowhow" from the dieseltech!
This is NOT comparable figures, the amount of fuel that is in the testsheet is depending of the testinjectors & pipes in the bench. For example the 992 pump is to be run against 116 injectors and 1,8 x350 pipes, 018 pump is to be run against 000 injector and 2x840 pipes.
Difference in amount of fuel is so high and not comparable.
For example, the 116 testinjector has 0,6mm orifice plate and 210 bar opening pressure, 000 injector has 150 bar opening pressure, no orifice plate.
If you calibrate a 992 after the testsheet with 000 ( wrong injectors)or even only wrong pipes, the engine goes bananas.
So just compare fuelamount is not the way to go.
IF you are going to put in a VE pump on a OM 603 for example, the pump must bee adjusted according to the testsheet for this engine. The things you can use in a sprinterpump is the distributor head & camplate that is a match. Put it in a mechanical housing and work with it in the testbench until it works OK.
Advanace piston in the VE pump is to be used, but you can not use the gear with advance that is when you have inlinepump, you need the sprocket from the sprinter, otherwise there can be a conflict with the advance.
If you are intend to go over 3500 rpm, the 12 & 14 mm rotorhead is no good, they do overfuel at low rpm and gives less fuel over 3500 rpm. 11 mm is the ideal size, nice curve on fuel up to over 5000 rpm.
12 mm is for agriculture pumps, high tourqe at low rpm.
