Before removing any components from the engine bay, use compressed air or low-pressure water to clean any debris out
of the engine bay. During installation there will be the opportunity for contaminants to get into the engine’s air, oil, and
fuel circuits.

34. Remove the three CP4 pump mounting nuts using a 13mm socket.
35. Remove CP4 pump from the engine by gently striking the CP4 camshaft nose to separate the pump from the
gear as the gear is a taper-fit and thus requires some force to separate.
j. Remove the gear and inspect the gear / gear teeth to ensure they are not damaged as the OEM gear will
be reused with the new DCR pump.

DCR Pump Installation:

1. Remove the upper two 15mm CP4 mounting bolts (Figure 21). Be careful not to drop the mounting bolts in the
front cover. It is a tight fit, but the bolts can be removed through the CP4 gear cover hole.
a. Tip: A short socket with a ¼” wobble extension or a 15mm u-joint socket works well for this.
b. Tip: While getting the bolt head to clear the cover hole, continue to loosen the stud to prevent binding in
the threads to aid in removing the bolt through the front cover.

Figure 21: CP4 Mounting Bolt Locations Figure 22: Pump Mounting Surface Cleanliness

2. Use a rag with a cleaning solvent and clean the area where the CP4 pump was located (Figure 22).
a. Use a razor blade or other flat scraper to ensure the surface is completely flat and free of debris. This will
allow the DCR pump engine adapter plate to sit flush against the engine block. It is critical for this surface
to be clean and flat for proper pump alignment.
3. Install the DCR Pump Adapter Plate to the Engine Block (Figure 24).
a. Thread Check: Hand thread the two countersink bolts into the block prior to installing the mounting plate. If the
bolts do not thread with ease, use a M10x1.5 thread chasing tool to clean up the threads in the block.
b. Put blue threadlocker on the threads of the two T45 Torx countersink bolts (Figure 23).
c. Put grease, oil, or assembly lube on the tapered head of the T45 Torx bolts to reduce friction during assembly.
d. Tighten the two T45 Torx bolts evenly. Once both are snug, final torque to 25 lb-ft.

b. Thread the studs into the adapter plate by hand until they are fully seated on the shank of the stud.
5. Fuel Pump Timing: Place the pump on a workbench in the orientation shown in Figure 25. Rotate the pump
shaft until the offset drilling on the end of the pump shaft is facing downward (6 o’clock position).

7. Lower the DCR Pump into the valley with the pump shaft pointing downward towards the Adapter Plate pilot
hole. Once the pump shaft is in the gear cover, align the pump with the 3 mounting studs and slide the pump
forward.
a. The high-pressure crossover line can be zip-tied towards the turbo to provide space to install the pump.
i. Do not damage or excessively bend the rail-to-rail high pressure line while installing the pump.
b. If the pump is contacting the passenger side heat shield, it may be necessary to bend/flex the heat shield
towards the exhaust manifold in order to provide clearance (Figure 26)
c. Push the pump into the engine block until it is seated flush.
i. Do not use the mounting bolts to pull the pump into position.
d. Install the OEM mounting nuts on all three studs and hand-tighten them evenly.

8. Fuel Pump Timing: Confirm that the DCR pump shaft did not rotate during assembly by visually checking that
the offset drilling is pointing towards 7 o’clock as shown in Figure 27.
a. Install the gear in the same orientation that it was removed with the double marks on the gear straddling
the single mark on the engine’s cam gear. Gear keyway at 12 o’clock.
b. A future design change to the DCR will add a pin to the shaft to set the timing to eliminate the need for this manual
timing process. The DCR timing process will then match the CP4 timing process.

9. Torque the OEM fuel pump drive gear nut to the DCR pump shaft to 60 lb-ft.
a. Hold the engine to prevent turning over if necessary. Typically, compression should hold the engine well
enough to achieve 60 lb-ft.
