Hello,

Wanted to ask, maybe somebody know something about this project:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321188234230


I didn`t know that its possible to make mechanical common rail engine.
Technically that is good and works. Maybe somebody can comment how it`s done. Pump, injectors...?
At last I bought right mechanical pump from Germany any day to send it to me. Was thinking to send it in winter to Myna for rebuild, but starting to get curious maybe switch better for that money from Om605 to 270CDI or 320CDI, depending weight...

thanks,
Casper

Re: Mechanical CDI engine

Hello Casper,

The description that, this is a CDI engine is no longer true. The common rail has been removed and replaced with a mechanical system. What they have done with the injectors; I do not know, but CDI injectors and mechanical system injectors are inherently different and the CDI injectors operate at much higher pressures. It would be interesting to see what has been done.

I have sent an enquiry to the seller at will report back, should he do the same.
