Damn, and I thought that I was getting somewhere when I went from a 1.6L N/A to the ECODiesel. You have blown me away! It must be one hell of a ride. Chris

Let Me Know Willy I'm Going To Need A Down Pipe Like That For My 79 Wabbit
 
I have already had a few people wanting it.....I'm gonna be selling it in the classifieds on the VW diesel forums....I'm sure I can get $250 plus shipping.....lots and lots of guys want or need a full 3" DP...

Lookin real good Mark! Cant wait to see what itll put down, if it ever stays together long enough for ya. Ive been seriously looking at getting one of these VW diesels, and we all know it wouldnt stay stock long. Is this the one thats got a VE pump on it?

How much larger are the Benz tips than the stockers? How much is the pump modded? And do these things lay down some good smoke or what? Never seen one modded, so dont know how bad the smoke is...

And wheres the build up of the race truck? :poke:

thanks Tim...yes this VW diesel is run on a VE IP...I'm getting ready to pull the merc tips out and rebuild the bodies with some GTD(euro spec) injector tips...
my pump has all the big mods....no governor, advanced timing..fuel screw maxed out...minus the bigger pump head...I'm thinking about building it up some more by putting a 10mm pump head or maybe even a 11mm cummins 4BT pump head??? I got a feeling i'm gonna need more fuel to light this t-3 off???
you can drive around mos the smoke...but it all depends on hoe you tun the VE pump....you can choke it down if you want no smoke. or you can smoke like a trian if you want too...lol


as for the race truck....that's in progress...I will do a build up thread once I get some more parts and a truck lined up....I'm really needing the VW to run
before I start the race truck....but it's coming:evil
 
Sounds good. So basically all the tricks one does on a 1st gen Dodge can be done on the VW? Im assuming theyre more or less the same pump, other than one has two extra delivery ports on it...

I hear ya on needing it to run before starting on a truck. I keep going through my trans every 6 months or so.

lookin good man! still need to come buy and check it out some time. so what do ya have to do to get it registered when ya put a diesel in a non diesel car? emissions? might have to look in to something like this for a daily driver. :rockwoot:
 
I love your car, that is one of the cleanest jettas I have seen and its better with the diesel!

I'm getting my 83 Mercedes 300sd back together. The headgasket blew on it about a year and a half ago. Been to busy to work on it. I would like to get some more power out of it.
