Hello All,
This has been a very fun project so far, very rewarding and full of twists along the way.
First off, several people have contributed so far:
.
TDISyncro first dreamed and promoted the idea to install a CP3 Pump on a VW 2.0 Common Rail.
He also supplied valuable parts and helped with Critical Measurements.
.
Karter59 and Tyrel supplied the block and Crankshaft.
.
Redneckdiesel supplied the Alternator and A/C pump.
.
My buddy Daryl was a huge help in the Electronics of the test bench to drive and map the Fuel delivery.
.
I am no expert at anything, but do enjoy experimenting and also always have fun learning from others knowledge and my mistakes!!
.
Here's a quick intro to the project this far. I am still working on the belt drive and tensioner system, but getting closer.
.
Mock up Motor - early stages.

Vibration testing on the Rail to Measure The Pump "Pulses"

Here's a video showing the car running with the CP3 pump, driven by a 1950's Gravely Lawnmower!!

Still a ways to go, but still having fun and enjoying the project!
I will share and update as it progresses.
All the best!,
