VP44 Injection Pump
Increase Cummins output with a VP44 upgrade
The VP44 injection pump is a distributor configuration radial piston fuel pump. It is found on 1998.5 - 2002 5.9L Cummins diesels. In 2003, the Bosch CP3 pump replaced the VP44. Since more fuel is more power, many companies have engineered upgrade kits for the VP44 so that it can provide enough fuel pressure/volume to support up to 1200 horsepower. If you are looking for big numbers from your 98-02 Cummins, you may consider upgrading the pump for additional fuel pressure & flow.

How it Works:
|
Big injectors and aggressive tuning require more fuel flow and pressure than stock trucks. The VP44 is perfectly capable of meeting fueling requirements with upgraded internal components. |
Pros:
|
- Increased fuel pressure leads to better fuel atomization. |
Cons:
|
- Requires disassembly of injection pump unless buying a brand new unit. |
Possible Problems:
|
- Make sure to have the modifications performed by a qualified technician or skilled mechanic. |
Power Gains: (estimated) |
- Depends on application (tuning, injector size). |

Additional Info:
|
The VP44 needs fuel in order to provide lubrication. If you are heavily modifying your VP44 to flow a lot fuel, you should invest in a performance lift pump to ensure the injection pump does not starve. |
