New project!

'84 land rover defender 90... 300tdi engine. 14x,xxx miles. D90 pictures by s0turi - Photobucket (http://s1189.photobucket.com/albums/z434/s0turi/D90/)

anybody familiar w/ the engine? is a VE just a VE, or will it be significantly different than the 1st gen IPs?

[oldestof11]

Yep, looks like the VE's on 1st Gens and VW's.

It depends on the style of governor under the top that is different. VW's had 3 springs in a small "cage" for the lack of a better term while Cummins had a simple spring.

good deal - thanks, oldest.

any recommended resources for learning about VEs/VE tuning?

[oldestof11]

When I get home, I have a few links. To learn about the VW style, go to Welcome to VolksWagen Diesel (http://www.vwdiesel.net) and in the forums, under FAQ, look for "How To Make Your 1.6 NA Faster", "How To Make Your 1.9L Faster", and "The 2010 Governor Mod".

so this would be the VW version? Bosch diesel injection pump rebuild (http://gnarlodious.com/Vanagon/Bosch_Pump/-Rebuild.html#91)

aside from simplicity, what's the difference between caged springs and one spring? is one better than the other, and are they interchangeable?

looking forward to the rest of your links, the leads on your last post have been very helpful.

[oldestof11]

Interchangeable I do not know. I really don't think so as the caged one seems to be riveted in.

That link is a VERY GOOD ONE for a rebuild. Looks like you have a 4 cylinder so all is good.

Here is one for the Cummins adjustment. Yours would be the same in most regards. Note, you pump is reversed compared to the Cummins. So left is right, front is back.
