Bosch still makes the p7100 under mico brand in india. these 12 valve engines are still in production for off highway , marine & generetor application. New mico branded p7100 is around 700$ here.. they were made for on highway till 2011 and millions are on road because these engines are immortal.
A video for the people. kudos for the very detailed break down of the part. Wishing I waited on my ppump conversion 4 years ago, would have saved me a lot.
The difference with the do is the thickness of the shoulder above the fuel cuts. The 131s have a thick shoulder and the 191s have a little bit narrower shoulder resulting in how much fuel flows the the do. Hope that helps!! 🤘🏽
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I suspect you can use your dial indicator tool to measure maximum lift on the pump and compare that number to determine if this is a 160, 180 or 215 clone. That would be awesome information. Please add follow up videos as the months roll by to let us know how it is performing / working. Thanks!
I just bought one... it actually had bosch diverter valves when i took them out. However, they where from a p3000 pump. They also where used (not new) and the delivery valve holder was deeper. I ended up using the holders and springs from my old pump because the new 191s i bought wouldn't not work with the chinese delivery valve holder because of the difference in spring height and depth of the holder. Gonna put it in this weekend, fingers crossed it works ok....
@@BrandonWicknick I got it in and the truck started right up (haven't driven it yet). One thing I did notice the fuel shutoff is keyed at a different angle and when I put my fuel solenoid on it, it didn't kill it when I shut it off. There is enough adjustment in the stop to allow it to shutoff if you do use the keyway. I guess you could put the arm on without the key in it and adjust it at the same angle like the stock cummins arm though.
Good review. I've been looking for feedback on these and yours is the first I found. I'd be genuinely curious to know how the hardness of the wear areas, like the camshaft and lifters inside the pump, compare to the Bosch originals. This would seem to be the main area where longevity could become a factor. Thanks for taking the time to go through this for everyone.
Still watching your video but the differences on the DV’s. The flute volume and shoulder hight. Lol it’s wild that they send that with what essentially looks like a full cut. The stem I agree is for the spring, normally the stem is for a constant volume or pressure setup (I’d have to check my book for which) but it’s missing the rest of the valve system in the holder for that. The holder also looks like a strait shot .120 holder not the valved oem holder which is again wild lol. Depending on the cam if you benched that thing with full rack it should really displace a lot of fuel but have extremely poor control over start of injection and end of injection. Switching out to a shouldered dv is definitely going in the right direction :) awesome video.
I bought 2 5.9 12V Cummins for my projects out of TATA buses (Made in India) and I guise I have the same P pump on them. I will check mine out when I go back to my storage. I'm guising mine are the 180 version
i love all your work and explanations. I think i'll just keep on using the pump on my 1995 truck. Should be a 175, all new to me. Truck has 288000 miles, and runs ok. I plan on doing some modifcations.
Bro this is fascinating. This makes me contemplate doing a p pump in my planned Cummins excursion swap I'm about to start. Please give updates! Subscibed for more 😊
What's up brotha. Love the videos keep em coming. Hope this pump lasts for you. loved the detail of this video I have a 06lbz duramax but I got to learn something new today!
The delivery valve cuts are how it gets more fuel. Full cut allow to most fuel inside that cylinders plunger bore, the more you cut steel away the more fuel can makeup the space the bore can collect.
Thanks for the review, and please follow up, or even get second opinions. A while back, I figured that someone had surely made a cheap clone by this point, or even a decent quality variant that doesn't cost over $2K. Then I saw these and have been wondering ever since, if they're ever going to be a better option for diesel hotrodders and pullers, over a 30 year old pump. They are becoming harder to find as time goes on, and core charges are expensive. I hate chinesium as much as the next guy, but if one of these can do the job well, maybe with a little 🇺🇸 or 🇨🇦 parts injection, that would really help a lot of people out.
Do not cut foot on afc , the stock one ones are no longer available, buy a power driven diesel foot that is already cut and if you do not like the results you can put stock one back in. You will never be able to get rid of idle haze wants cut
@BrandonWicknick the afc foot cutting just gives you more rack travel. More rack travel means the plunger started riding on the cam earlier and comes off later, effectively giving you a longer Injecrion event and more fuel.
You want to cut or remove .100-.120” off the barrel of the arm. This is the part that touches the inside of the AFC housing. And limits rack travel. You do not want to cut the foot. The foot helps control low boost fueling.
Awesome, this video is literally the only reference that I could find in all of the internet for these pumps. It’s been a few weeks, is it still running good? No issues?
My truck has some other issues and I run 100 percent wmo which doesn't make me the best test subject but so far no issues that are pump related. Thanks for watching.
I used to work for an oilfield company that would contract parts out to a Chinese Manufacturer . The Chinese would make parts to our spec , we would QC the parts ; 98% of them would pass , Hardness and metallurgy was the same as what US machined parts were.
Would you be able to tell me the measurement for the timing tool? How long is the extension you made I’m gonna use your idea and make my own timing kit aswell! Genius
Where is your AFC housing plumbed in for boost pressure on your 24v Cummins? I set my truck up. But for some reason it seems like it falls on its face after I hit the turbo, almost like it is out of fuel. I drilled a hole in my neck above the heater grid and plumbed it in there. But I am not sure where exactly it is supposed to go. I also just bought some 191 delivery valves for it as well. And have installed the 4k springs in the pump. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The intake casting on the cylinder head has NPT plugs in it. I want to say 3/4" or 1". I removed one and installed a bushing to get my boost tubing for the AFC.
@@jsharp1776 did you get your problem fixed? mine does the same thing. doesn't fuel more when the boost comes on, like the racks not opening up more when the boost comes on. did you have any luck?
So where do you go about getting a Chinese p7100? Temu? Lol Im planning a p pump swap for my ‘02 24v HO 6 speed. Its about to hit 100k miles and close to ‘broken in’ heh. Got the crazy carls kit and been piecing together a lot of stuff over the years for the time. I knew i wanted to p pump it 8 years ago when i bought from the org owner with 79,000 miles. But i told myself i wouldn’t tear into the motor and do anything to it till it had at least 100k on it first. Took 7-8 years to out 20k on it. Is the Chinese pump worth it? From what i gathered from your over view im more curious now and want more i for. I mean…its just a pump. Bosch is german, and germans do make nice quality mechanical things. But so do the Chinese, and they do it cheaper than the germans lol. Im not against getting one of these to build. Id defiantly would go thru it like you did and make it the way you want. More vids, install of it and test drives!!
So if I buy that Chinese pump without modifying anything, and install it directly in my ram, the truck will feel heavy, how much real horsepower do you think it can give, because according to eBay they are 215 hp pumps, I am interested in your opinion before buy it
@@CarlosMorales-zd6kh I haven't had tbag experience. What I show in the video is my only experience. I decided to verify and modify before installing. I think it would work OK without modification but I was not impressed at what I found inside the new pump (mismatched and possibly used parts)

well chinese pump cost $700 while oem bosch is $7k new
