Yes that is right, but with a different regulator it is a lot less worse. Tested on 3 1HDFT engines, most std pump maxed out.
Same results so I dont think the pump is bad.
Took some pictures for you about the timing piston. I guess there is some room left, so the spacer might work IF the case...
Seems that a differend shimmed pressure control valve will control the internal pump pressure a lot better than the original one. Messing around with the timing piston wont help when there isnt sufficient pump pressure on the high output pumps. Measured the pressure a few times and it will drop...
Will work. Much deeper than 4.5mm doenst have effect as the follower pin isn't any longer. Tuning will be a lot easier with the builtin hard stop. No messing around with shims etc. However i would prefer the stock ramp profile so the fuel tapers out on max boost. (if pump can deliver enough fuel...
Is it for 1hdt of ft pump. Output will be a lot different with the same pins because of the internal geometry of the pump. Finally get my hands of a spare ft pump and pulled it apart. Adjustability of this pump is a lot better than the 1hdt pump.
