hi guys i am removing hicas and cant find n/a pump etc at the moment ,

i like the idea of removing impellor from tt pump, can any one who has done it tell me how easy it is??

am i right in thinking if i plug inlet and outlet from resevoir, remove impellor and block spare outlet in pump (to stop c--p getting in) this is the pump mod complete?? :confused:

regards steven

personaly ive just found a lot better way of modding pump, i completed it this evening!

if any ones interested this is what i did!

this way saves you having to reroute hose back to resevoir!!!

 

remove pump from car and place in vice!

remove rear cover from pump held by 4 14mm long lolts, leave oil pump feed in place to hold other halfs together!

once you tap cover offf you will see vanes assembly,

with wide jaw pliers remove centre impellor and vane plate, then remove outer vane housing all done by just lifting parts of centre spline!

then refit end plate and hay presto! all that is left to do is cut union fron old pressure hicas hose, weld up small outlet hole and refit with banjo bolt!

this way no hose rerouting needed and you still have fluid feed to end shaft bearing!

hope that helps if anyone was interested????

Taken any pics? This belongs in the FAQ section ;)

no i didnt!

if i get time i will remove pump again and repeat process for you all to see!

:bow: Thanks mate, I was looking for an answer to modifiying the TT pump so it wont blow to bits if I just blocked up the outlet LOL and have just followed your steps, cheers :)

Will have a go at this when I get some time.

I've got yet another PS leak and already removed all the HICAS system so will do the mod and sort the leak at the same time :)
