In my quest for better MPG's I ran across Zukgod1's diesel jetta build up thread...then I noticed he was in the same state as me..so I PMed him about his car...after talking back and forth with him I decided I would buy a Gas GLI jetta and just convert it to the simple mechanical diesel..I really dont like VW's electronics in the newer ones so I figured a old school diesel swap would be best for what I wanna do.
thought some guys on here would like to see the progress so he goes....
I set out to find a REALLY clean body car..I did not want to mess with the body stuff I just wanted a clean car that was not BEAT!
I found a California car that was a one owner GERMAN built car..I flew out and and drove it back to Utah.
here is the car..
I picked up one of Zukgod1s spare engines 1.6TD
I torn the engine down and had it rebuild...I port and polished the head myself..
I also lightened the intermediate shaft
some go fast goodies!!:evil
Mercedes benz injector tips..
K24/26 hybrid turbo:ft:
I almost got the engine put back together..I will post some more updates soon...
