INJECTOR PUMPS! TD42 - 1HZ - 1HD! Installing, Timing, Tuning!!!! 

Haha thanks heaps mate appreciate you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I dunno if I even want it to go too silly I kinda rate where we’re at, it’s a mint little nook in RU-vid we’ve got and everyone has been super respectful. 🧘🏻

Hi Timmy. Love your RU-vid posts, esp out on the tracks. I’m from Vic but love Tassie. My days of travel have passed so your trips give me great joy. Your explanations on the mechanical stuff are so clear and as a non mechanical person I can understand them. And so much cudos for your upfront news that Kinchrome is helping you out. So much honesty over those RU-vid channels that don’t declare their affiliations. Keep up the great work. Cheers Andrew

@andrewbrowne4538 cheers mate that’s awesome appreciate it 👊🏻👊🏻

Dude that’s such an awesome compliment, thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks so much mate, seriously comprehensive tips and suggestions like this and feedback and criticism helps me so much, appreciate it dude 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I second this, that’s a really good idea. I’ve got an 80 so most of that stuff is very similar. Not like the info isn’t out there but it’d be very helpful. Cheers for the vid Tim 🤙🏼

Thanks so much mate I’ve been passing these really nice comments onto Kincrome. You’re a legend I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yeah awesome it’s something I’ve never seen in detail on RU-vid and so this is just the understanding I’ve gained over the years but would happily be corrected also if I have any of it wrong. 🫡

That’s awesome mate thank you! Glad you enjoyed & glad it’s helpful 👊🏻👊🏻

Thanks heaps mate, that’s the whole goal!! Don’t want to be too simple but don’t want to be too complicated 🤙🏻🤙🏻

@@timmyhasheart I'd love to see some videos about driving technique from you. I grew up street racing and eventually (after getting in trouble enough) going to the track and learned heaps in that time. I've only recently, as a 35yr old got into 4x4 and its a whole different world. Even just voice overs about what you're doing up certain tracks would be fucken mint. Throttle control and gear selection seem on par with going fast on a race track but the logic behind what you're doing when you do it is very, very different.

Thanks heaps mate! Always loved kincrome tools & am so grateful they’re supporting. 🤙🏻

Wow dude thank you so much for the feedback that means a lot to me dude. Cheers! Happy tuning! 🔥🔥

Thanks so much mate! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I did have a bit in here about petrols but took it out, cause I find I hear that a lot from people who came from petrols because obviously it’s all backwards for petties, but that’s awesome mate thanks 🙏🏻

Haha that’s awesome mate thank you 🙏🏻

I thank them everytime I speak with them because it still blows my mind that they wanted to step onboard haha, and absolutely not mate I’ve set a few rules for myself when I started all of this that I will absolutely adhere to because my priority for this is hobby and helping, not revenue.. I have a job for revenue. But if there are companies out there that I love, that are willing to help my hobby and lifestyle in exchange for me using their products then I absolutely accept, because they’re products that I love and would buy anyway, I’d be silly to not take that help. But yeah that’s where the lines are for me & I’ll stick by them. 🙏🏻

@@timmyhasheart totally agree Tim.

That’s a huge compliment thanks mate because I’m absolutely nowhere near a diesel mechanic, trial by fire has been my way haha, and yeah that’s why I stressed 4-5 times to see an actual tuner this is just a bare understanding 🤙🏻

@timmyhasheart great advice mate bcs some not most won't understand mate.. An egt or pyro is only an example of indication anyway.. True fuel delivery or mixture can and should be set on a dyno.. Awesome stuff mate!!

Thanks heaps mate, it’s wicked to hear people getting something out of it 👊🏻👊🏻

Exactly right mate, ye olde 300tdi.. mind you that one is copping a 4.6 I think they are? 300 also have a plate that you can buy that actually upgrades the side pin I think, I’ve seen something about them before but yeah all VE compensated pumps this will apply to 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Certainly not interested in horsepower there’s no point pushing the torque late to please a number I’d much rather as much safe early torque as possible, mind you I have blown up my share of TDs before I learned 🫠🤫😅

@@timmyhasheart live and learn aye 🥲 mine only makes 185hp 520nm on 35s but fuck it’s good to drive. peak power/boost at 1900rpm is super useable with 4.6s 💪🏼

That’s a good level power, extremely driveable, although I don’t agree with going to diffs taller than 4.11 with a TD. 4.6 is a petrol ratio imho.

Cheers mate thank you 🙏🏻 garret numbers are totally foreign to me hahaha.

That’s awesome mate, I hadn’t seen much comprehensive stuff on them and had the opportunity to help Baz install his so thought I’d bring the camera! Glad you enjoyed 👊🏻👊🏻

Cheers heaps mate 🙏🏻

That’s awesome mate thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yeah I think all of the VE pumps pretty much operate on the same platform, haha a few people have said that, bloody Landie people 😂😂

Cheers dude appreciate that, it’s hard to shut up I’m like a wind up doll 🤣 yeah ridiculously grateful for kincrome stepping in 🙏🏻

Thanks for watching mate! Yeah well all the jap cars are pretty similar pretty sure, not sure what an FE6 is, diesels in general are the same in terms of fuel being hot, boost being cool and excessive fuel causing soot, but as for how you fix that changes a lot in a newer car cause all the fuel is mapped by ECU, not mechanical. 👍🏻

@@timmyhasheart It's a bigger inline 6 diesel engine I have in my 1990 Nissan UD 1800 dump truck. Definitely more popular over there. I have a colder cylinder and white smoke, I'm going to swap injectors with a healthy cylinder and see what happens, I think I'm running too lean too.

@crazyDIYguy ohhh okay, yeah I know nothing about big truck engines haha, but if it’s a mechanical diesel and it’s not just start up, (I’d say glow or heater if it was start up) but yeah definitely on the right track with swapping them around although and getting a thermo gun onto it, but yeah white smoke is cold unburnt/poorly burnt fuel so I reckon you’re all over it unless that cylinder is low on comp

Haha wow that’s an awesome compliment thanks mate appreciate you taking the time to leave some feedback dude cheers 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks heaps mate! Yeah there’s a little bit to understand in them but once you do they’re super simple 🙏🏻

Thanks heaps mate, you guys are all so awesome & respectful & supportive I truly appreciate it. 👊🏻👊🏻

Oooft nice one, well hopefully this helps 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Haha thank you 🙏🏻 now you’ll be able to tune TD42’s! Once we get you a big set of Kincrome tools 😍🔧🛠️

Thanks heaps mate, still ridiculously grateful for the guys at Kincrome stepping in. Will definitely be heading up the mainland at some point next year.

That rules mate, I dunno all that much about petrols but maybe I’ll get myself one and learn a bit about them too 🤣

Thanks mate that’s awesome to hear 👊🏻👊🏻

That’s awesome mate thank you 👊🏻👊🏻

Whatever you go, don’t go to your tuner and say you saw some fella from Tassie on RU-vid say this this and this hahaha, they know what they’re doing and if I heard that I’d roll my eyes 😅 thanks heaps mate 🙏🏻

Thanks heaps mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Haha really really kind words mate thank you, definitely stoked to be working together with Kincrome they’re so down to earth. And nice one I’ve heard good things about the Clive pumps. 👍🏻

Awesome mate thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks mate appreciate it 🙏🏻 Hahaha don’t get your hopes up they play by their own rules over there! 😅

@@timmyhasheart hahaha 💯 they gosh darn do 🤦🏼‍♂️

That’s awesome mate glad you could take something from it 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Definitely learnt a bunch of things about the injector pump. Keep doing these videos with heaps of detail and you'll grow your channel for sure. I understand that people have pretty short attention spans these days, but there's just way too many content creators out there posting stuff in order to get maximum eyeballs on their channel instead of focusing on making stuff of substance. You've definitely got another subscriber here, and I also own a kettle powered GU, so will be soaking up your knowledge and putting it to good use on my old bus. Love your work mate. 🤙

@mgiblonski4318 thanks heaps mate, I know what you mean.. I’ve been trying to find a balance I want to capture new people and grow the channel obviously but I still want to make the stuff I want to make. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Stay humble and true to yourself, and the rest will take care of itself. 👍

Thanks mate! Tbh I had none before I bought the GQ and you just learn as you go with an old bus! And yeah Kincrome coming to the party is a huge blessing, so grateful 🙏🏻

@@timmyhasheart Yeah man I also Learn alot watching these vids,I’ve got a old b2600 91 model slowly doing it up also learning a lot as I go love these videos mate ,can’t wait for the next 1 🤙🏽yew

Hahaha I rate it, but yeah that’s my take 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey mate cheers, I upload every fortnight 👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers dude appreciate it 👊🏻👊🏻

Thanks dude! Cheers for watching 👊🏻👊🏻

That’s awesome man thank you I appreciate the kind words. The way to get more noticeable early torque out of a factory pump will be to wind down the top grub screw, take shims off, rotate the pin to the steep side and loosen the spring by winding the star wheel DOWN. Which unloads the spring and helps it dive to the deeper point of the pin with less boost 👍🏻👍🏻

@@timmyhasheart thanks mate, I’ll start with half a turn👍🏼

Awesome mate welcome thanks 🔥🔥 glad to have you onboard 👊🏻👊🏻

That’s good dude! Just remember still I’m only a patrol bogan from Tassie so seeing a professional is still priority haha.

@timmyhasheart honestly probably more informative than a professional. Anyone can be a professional and not give a shit haha

No worries at all mate thank you for checking it out! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

TD Torque monster the world mate 😅

Cheers mate 👊🏻👊🏻

Yeah mate that’s what happens when you go a little too far with the fuel. Eventually you get to a point where the revs hang a bit as you tap the throttle. I did go into this in the video but cut it out because I was focused on compensated pumps. But what I do to tune 10mm’s is have the car running, turn the fuel screw up a bit, drop the idle, fuel up, drop the idle and as you get toward the end start tapping the throttle a bit and once the revs start to hang a bit, back it off slightly. 👍🏻👍🏻

@@timmyhasheart thanks m8 n yer thats the process i used👍

Cheers mate, appreciate you always stopping by 🫡

Hahaha, it’s only a TD 🥲 maybe if it was a good motor I’d hang it from something a little more worthy haha

Awesome mate no worries at all! Thank you 👊🏻

That’s good that they told you that, and that’s exactly the point that I’m about to say and probably should have said in the video - you should set the pump to whatever your pump builder says to. So if your pump builder says 0.75 that’s what you should go to. UFI says 0.64-0.70 and factory has settings also. Depends on your pump builder mate 🫡

Thanks heaps mate you’re a legend appreciate it, ahh anything NA is a 41mm socket, and anything turbo is 55mm 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Heck yeah thanks mate, welcome aboard! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Cheers mate haha, probably not while I’m around 😅😅 but my current one has made it to 30,000 so far!! On a winning streak!

@@timmyhasheart My ZD is rolling over the 500K on the clock.

Well tbh if you want an in-line pump for a TD they already exist, hence why it’s in the GQ manual. But tbh 12mm VE pumps already give more fuel than a TD42 can even handle before spitting 2 pieces of crank on the ground so why stray from what works. 😅

But they are vacuum governor and cant be run with boost without some dodgy mods . I build pumps and injectors for a living and have done for 40 years now. Dont get me wrong a VE is a great little unit. But more VE's die than inline pumps do esp when a VE is made to supply a lot of fuel. Each to their own at the end of the day. A modded VE, different nozzles and inj mods, coolant bypass at the rear of the head etc and a TD42-T is transformed.

Yeah I agree dude, I have the UFI200, I’ve had it at 175, I’ve had it at 200 and I’ve had it much higher but never dynoed it, I expect it would have been maybe 240-750nm but it had more to give too, still had shims left.

Haha hopefully it doesn’t get me in trouble 😂

Cheers dude 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey mate it’s not really a knock it’s more of a fuel rattle but it’s really not noticeable unless you’re listening, really really big 12mm’s can sound like marbles rolling around in the engine but 11’s and normal 12’s really isn’t crazy noticeable unless you have it set with a lot of advance. Cheers dude 🤙🏻🤙🏻 thanks for watching

Just eBay jobs mate 👍🏻

The marks don’t move mate, so once you get the ZZ lined up that’s that, gear goes on with a key way and that doesn’t move again.. but then when you chuck the tool in and rip it from side to side, you’re advancing or retarding within the pump itself, the key is held by the gear and you’re actually turning it slightly inside the pump to be slightly advanced, hope that makes sense. 👍🏻

Sorry boss, I wasn’t exactly clear in my question, I apologize. I was referring to the factory etched mark that is on the injection pump triangle flange. Once the IP is mounted, that mark on the flange should line up with another factory etched mark on the engine mounting surface. I was curious how both of your marks lined up after using the tool- if you were advanced, retarded, or lined up perfectly?

Haha awesome! I wanted this to be a resource cause I hadn’t seen many good ones so I’m glad it’s going to be helpful for you mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻

@@timmyhasheart sure will be man you should keep up this style content the wheeling you do is sick but gotta love the nitty gritty stuff

Check the pump timing, too much advance will have a fuel rattle when cold, additionally could be tapped clearance might be a bit out.

@@timmyhasheart pump and injectors were recoed 15000km ago and was running on every so often and it started crap but didn’t make a rattle. took it to a TD specialist and they fixed that problem - TPS set incorrectly, throttle stops set incorrectly, TPS code rectified, retimed to spec (apparently other shop had it timed wrong), and they replaced the glow plug timer and it had been perfect until really cold weather (coolant 8-10 degrees)

I have heard it said before that maxing them out can affect the life of them but meh 🤷🏻‍♂️ never had an issue really

Na mate I didn’t dyno tune it, I just tune them myself on the road 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve run mine up before twice just to see what it was doing and confirm I was on the money but no changes needed to be made 👍🏻

Ummm being NA, you can gain a little bit, but I’d stop when/if you start seeing consistent smoke, not only is it gross but it’ll just make things hot and raise your coolant temps.. the best thing you could do is bolt a turbo on, makes them much more efficient and drive better, and better for the environment too. And can be done legally if you speak with an engineer.

Well mate I got 2 facts for you, 1. TDs don’t overheat when you do the right mods and 2. I reckon we’ve slung more engines around between us than every commenter behind their keyboard combined ;) ahaha

@timmyhasheart truth haha. Nice work on the sponsorship too, well deserved 🙌🙌

Hey mate thanks for the comment! 10, 11, 12 isn’t the be-all, end-all of how dangerous a pump is, it’s just the size of the plunger that the fuel can come down, plenty of parameters determine the fuel coming in aside from the plunger, you could have a 10mm/11mm more powerful than a 12, it all depends on how it’s setup. They aren’t inherently dangerous at all mate. Usually out of the box it will be set to a theoretical HP figure, or sometimes they’ll ask what turbo and what target boost and they’ll shape the fuel input on what’s called a bench, which is basically a pump dyno. So depends what you actually ordered, where you ordered it from and what it’s setup for, but even if you asked for some crazy 300hp pump, you can just dial it back by adding shims or spring tension etc. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the reply mate. Really appreciate it. You’re a legend!!!

🫡🫡 cheers boss appreciate you guys watching the videos and leaving comments

The gear under the injector gear? In the timing case? That’s just an idler gear to make sure all of the front gears turn clockwise.

Yeah that’s not unheard of, depends on your turbo size and the specifics of your pump. I had a HT18 with a closed gate and it ran 22 with a maxed 10mm. But to be honest you’re not using that 23psi, anything over 16psi is pretty much just additional cooling & additional back pressure. Would probably run more efficiently at 16-18

Tbh mate pre turbo that’s fine, I’m like 400-450 on the highway POST turbo.. but it could mean your spring tension is a bit too tight, so mid boost it’s running rich. 👍🏻👍🏻

@@timmyhasheart thanks I’ll try back it off a bit.

Sorry mate I wasn’t thinking properly while I was typing I meant a bit too loose!! Needs to be a tad tighter 👍🏻👍🏻

Front mount Intercooler dropped egts heaps

With an intercooler for sure I wouldn’t hesitate maxing out a 10mm pump on any TD tbh. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean I’m just another bloke that says stuff on RU-vid so don’t take my word as gospel but yeah I certainly wouldn’t hesitate 👍🏻

yea cheers man dont want a powerhouse just a camping rig but have noticed since front mount its lean as

@motorizedbikes9933 yeah it’ll never be a powerhouse with a 10mm that’s the good thing about them they kinda give you a ceiling, they’re great for keeping things reliable, I was still able to have a heck of a lot of fun and hold 110kmph everywhere with a 10mm they’re great 👍🏻

Yeah nice thanks for the info 🤙🏻

I’d be lying if I said I knew for sure mate but I believe it would be, they share a hell of a lot of similarities and parts. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey mate! Na so reduced preload on the spring will make it soot more because it’ll dive straight away giving you more fuel more early.. so you’d need to tighten it if anything 👍🏻

@@timmyhasheart ah yep that makes sense, boost afrs are 20.1 which from what iv read is ok, off the print out it looks low off boost at like 15ish, iv read thats on the rich side. Am i on the right thinking here?

@@Nathan-fv8rt yeah but you want it rich and fuely to light the turbo up and get you going, honestly having a puff of black in take off is pretty much they way to be.

@@timmyhasheart ah right, cheers mate appreciate your replys

I reckon you knew exactly what I meant. Whatever country we’re in. ;)

Just off eBay mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers lord

That’s from me driving up the highway in my TD42 soot machine

Haha she’ll end up dirty enough again 😅😅 thanks mate appreciate you watching & leaving a comment 👊🏻👊🏻

Meh.. maybe if it was a 1HDFT it would deserve a chain but it’s only a stinky old dunger TD42 😅

Nice mate glad it was digestible it’s hard to know what to cut out and keep in, and thank you mate! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
