Bosch conversion!

[Tom]

Righto i bought another engine for my car because i needed a new head and you could get an engine for the same price as a head so i thought f*ck it. Anyway it came with a bosch on it, so basically i have the whole thing, anything fuel related you can have! Will get some pics tomorrow. Im not really sure what to ask, so lets say 100quid posted?

I can send it out the same day but it wont be with royal mail (unless you pay extra for that) theres alot there so will probably get a big box from work to package it up in.

But yeah haggle away, im sure we can work something out!

[darrenjlobb]

Selling the bosch? Might know someone interested, pm price.

[Tom]

Come on, i thought people were frothing at the mouths for Bosch pumps?!

[Piggy]

not so much anymore chap.

they are becoming much more common.

I have sold two sets (pump/inj/lines) for £75 posted on here.

you will get more on ebay!

[Tom]

No i wont, my last one went for 20 quid on ebay

[cwspellowe]

Unless you're in a rush to sell, stick it on eBay with a BIN/offers for 30 days. Will go eventually

[Piggy]

^^^ this

only costs 50p to list

[cwspellowe]

Presactly. If i can get £30 for a set of Lucas injectors i'm sure you can get plenty for your pump.

[samass]

Sell it to that guy in Aberdeenshire

[D Turbo Lyle]

if i have a d turbo with a lucas set up then is it just a straight swap?? i mean are the pumps on differnt timings or what parts do u have to change all together to do a full bosch conversion?

[Piggy]

need pump, lines, injectors and a little know how.

Good chance to do the cambelt though!

Also good time to renew leak off pipes...but thats a fivers worth of pipe at most!

that sounds absaloutly spot on samass!! Ill have to get a hold of the bosh set up firstly and then i have to get a boost gauge in and ready..no boost leaks etc... then ill get you onto it!! Im back to work a week the day and back to the norm then aswell.... definetly keen tho dude!! oh and by the way does it matter what miles etc the bosch set up has come from as in a high miler?? cheers bud

[samass]

Best get to ebay then!

[cwspellowe]

Doesn't matter too much about the miles, as long as the seals are in good nick and it's not been stored dry you should be fine

£100 to fit a Bosch? I'm doing something wrong here

Unfortunately, Sam's the only one close and that's what he's offered.

But tbh I can see where he's coming from, he's on about spending the day doing absolutely everything, he's offering a service he can't find or wouldn't be asking.

TBH i think for someone that doesn't understand pumps and tuning that's perfectly reasonable.

I agree with it if he can get that price for fitting them that's good on him I'm selling my self to cheap for the same service I charged Liam £60 and that included a 70mile round trip. I then sold and fitted a pump for £140. Samass is a sound fella and is more thàn capable. (Not meaning to put a downer if that's what it sounds like)

[samass]

£100 to travel 50 miles (each way) to fit and tune a Bosch mind. I think it's perfectly fair.

I'm not disagreeing just obviously selling myself short with it providing the same service

[Dave]

I normally charge about £100 if I have to travel, else its just not worth my time. At the end of the day you enjoy what you do, and you're professional about the job then that's dead reasonable - I always wonder if what people charge covers them for any mishaps when fitting a pump though

[Tom]

Do any of you want a pump lol?

[D Turbo Lyle]

Do any of you want a pump lol?

[Tom]
