Should the high pressure pump be the better one to get or just get the low pressure pump. Im looking at getting big injectors and a new turbo? Not sure on injectors yet.

 

no the HP pump puts out WAY more than our pumps can handle "they" say that the VE can only handle about 15PSI I am running 22PSI on the one I am working on and it takes every bit of it

 

Takes it for now, your seal if not retained is hating life though.

 

Thanks yall for this very helpful thread!!

I just bought the low pressure piston pump and parts.

There is some updated part numbers for the list of parts you need for the conversion.
Low pressure piston lift pump - 4988751 (1)
Fuel line - 3914753 (1) same as before
Gaskets - 3939258 (2)
Spacer - 3914284 (1) same as before
Seals - 3963983 (2)

 

where did you buy the parts from?

 

from Cummins

 

One of the vendors sells a kit that includes everything to do this swap for quite a good price. I just can't remember who that was. Anyone else seen it?

 

89-93 dodge 1st gen low pressure piston lift pump

 

Ofi has em cheap...

Sent from my DROIDX

 

to clear this up, is the lift pump in this sticky the same as the second gen, but with the low press spring? And if i get the second gen pump, i need a regulator? But in doing so i can easily up my press after mods or say... a p pump?
