has anyone tried to use the fuel torque plates from the 12v on the 4bt? just curious if we could use those on the motor......

 

[Forrest Nearing]

sure (assuming your 4B has a P7100 inline pump on it)

 

[pinky49]

Yes you can.
I have a 97 p7100 motor and used a tst torque plate with no problems.

You don't need no stinkin' fuel plate!
You can crank these pumps up easily for $0 and that is nice (free)

Might want to buy a 366 spring, though. It is nice to have.

ya i know i just saw some torque plates on ebay, and thought i would get some outside imput.... i know how to turn up my pump and the spring sounds like a very good idea!

The plates are the same 4b P7100 and 6b P7100 ,

Good thing the 6b guys sell them cheap so you have a lot to pick from .

grinding the plate ,most go to far and then you can't go back .

both ways work just fine.

just FYI, you can crank up a P7100 pump for free... grind your own plate, etc.

and they put out more fuel to boot bounce

Too hard to find and too expensive for the "average" 4BT user, tho...

so very true

as said avove if you have a P-7100 pump that a plate will help ya alot..............I ground a 100 for my sons 94 6bt

How the hell do those work?
Is there something inside the pump that follows along that jagged edge???

That's what I'd like to know too...

The gov lever rides along the edge of the fuel plate.

OK im following now Seems a bit steep in price for an eccentially DIY job, but welcome to the world of diesels I suppose :beer:

fuel plate

how do you go about picking the right one. i would like more power but do i have to get a new turbo or any thing else first. i have a factory turbo and factory down pipe that goes into a 3.5 inch exhaust and the intercooler that came in the breadvan will this mod be wourth it. ebay has them for 35 dollars

 

[justinsdad]

you can remove the plate all together, has the same effect as a #0 plate.

fuel plate

and not changing anything else will it still work. ive read that the arm that rides the plate can get stuck if its missing.

 

[justinsdad]

I got that from a 12v high perf thread over on dtr, I have not done it my self, they made no mention of any problems and said they removed the #0 plate on the dyno and made a no plate run and they were within a few hp of each other.

The p pumps were awesome pumps, but I really get into the ve pumps.

Leave the plate in !
