Is a mk1. I haven't heard of that and it liked the boost well enough.

You're welcome! That project was a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy your project!

Hello! Sorry for the late response. I haven't been on here in a while. I have since sold that car but heard it was still running just fine. I ran it like that for over a year then I know of at least another year. Hope that helps

Sweet! Yeah that's not a great situation to have 🤣

Working on getting the next one up! It's been wierd 🤣

yes i would say that the pump needs to be adjusted down on the throttle side. hope this helps

It's not given me any issues with temp management but thanks for the info!

hello! Yes I have resealed a VE pump. I don't recall the shims you are referring to. but I do know that advancing the timing will lower exhaust temps to a point. my pump is timed off the rotation of the pump not a shim. hope this helps!

I honestly don't remember how many turns i did. you do not want to try adjusting fueling to the idle. the problem with doing that is the fuel "valve" can over extend and stick. i didn't have that happen on this 1.6 but i had that happen with another 1.6 i put a turbo on. once you shut the key off it turns off but its not great on the engine. plus you really dont need that much more fuel for NA it just cant handle the extra fuel as well. hope that helps!

@@davesgarage2039 I have a mk 2 1.6 turbo so is it okay to do it on that

I believe so. just make sure your exhaust temps are okay. under 1100 F

car still set up the same and running good?

hey man! sorry I was MIA for so long. hit me up if you still want some tips!

Basically. But it does make more power too!

@@davesgarage2039 Man these old school diesels are easy to tune just adjust the fuel screw and there we go! the darker the exhaust gas is the more power gain you're gonna get unlike a carburetor there's a lot of jets, fuel mixture screws and such to mess

I have to agree. they are pretty simple. however for naturally aspirated engines you don't want much smoke. running rich on a turbo diesel is okay because it has more air to use and the extra fuel is used to spool the turbo. however on a naturally aspirated diesel it just adds heat, soot, and unnecessary fuel consumption.

@@davesgarage2039 if you "lean tune" the rabbit what's the MPG's like especially on today's fuel crisis

@@jasperdomacena6491 i get 47mpg with the current "tune". i would say it wont change much you will just have less power. it would be like only being able to push the gas half way down instead of all the way. i found gearing to have more of an effect. i got 50mpg in my hatch back which had a 4th gear overdrive .70 instead of a regular 4th 1.00

this is a VW 1.6 diesel. I have no idea what that 44kv motor is. For a VW 1.9 diesel engine I'm not sure what the correct timing is for it.

nope all stock internals

.0625 inch

@@christophermcmahon7920 the max on these is .070 not too shabby!

Any update???

that means your pump is turned up too much. back the screw out a bit and try it again.

@@davesgarage2039 pump is stock settings.. it was bad fuel the local gas station was selling.. went to a different gas station and the problem went away

@@mikecorleone6797 very interesting. glad you got it figured out.

yeah it would cost a lot more than its worth

I honestly have no idea

Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad it was able to aid you in your learning.

Its super easy. All you have to do is run a positive wire from your battery to a solenoid (I used one for a lawn mower starter) then wire up a switch for the solenoid inside the car and hook up the glow plugs rail.

Thanks! Will do! I sold that car but have some ideas coming in for my other 1.6 on the channel.

hi Chris, i would recommend you get a Bentley manual to find exact numbers for your engine. however, my recommendation would be 1.05mm at tdc. that is stock for a 1.6td so i would imagine it would work for your engine. as for more advance, i am not sure and would look it up in bently manual. sorry for not having more info. Dave.

I have added a turbo to an na diesel before yes. And you will want to up your fuel because otherwise you want notice much of an improved or much boost. Check out my video on turbo information.

How many turns of the screw sis you enrich? I don't want low revs to be affected by being too rich as well

@@1danny2k I personally have the injection pump maxed out. I backed the idle screw all the way out then in just enough to hold it off the internal stop then set the fuel screw to make it idle there. But I have a 9mm pump and I dont know your setup exactly.

My engine isn't such a rugged one as yours so I'll have to take it half a turn at a time I guess. Cause it's notorious for overheating even non turbo when uphill. So I'm hoping the turbo will lower operating temperature with the extra power.

@@1danny2k yes the boost will help with heat. More air less fuel equals lower temps at the same or more power. Yes try 1/4 to 1/2 turns till it smokes a little then either call it good or back it out 1/2 a turn. I highly recommend getting an egt guage and fuel based on exhaust temp

Okay. No gas was used on pavement or grass. Just brake clean and it was on pavement.

Sweet man. Have you run it yet?

i advanced the timing with a timing gauge then turned the fuel screw in to increase fuel delivery to the injectors.

shoot... i have no idea. i know i spent one whole day building the exhaust manifold and another the intake so probably 40+ hrs total. you must do head studs and i had never done the head gasket before so it toke me a little while. plus i wanted to build the intake and exhaust while the head was off for accessibility of the ports. but yeah probably 40+ hrs. you have to remember though i work at a fab shop so i have access to some equipment you may not like a cnc plasma table. hope your build goes well. let me know if you have any other questions.

it depends on whether it is a tdi or an older idi (like in the video). if its an idi the wire for the injection pump is to the drivers side of the injection pump on the cast iron block. it should be a smaller wire with a round crimp connector and a nut holding it down. i think its the same for tdi as well. let me know if that helps.

well what are you looking for? power, economy, daily drive ability ect.

i have no idea. i would guess no because this is a 79cc 3hp vs a 6 hp honda. but i could be wrong.

Yes those work great u can even use some honda 18lbs as long as the cam is stock even add a pz19mm u will feel a nice reaposone.

It did not effect the temp at all. This does not make as big of a power increase as advancing the timing. But it does increase it somewhat.

Do you have a video on how to turn up the power? Meaning advance timing and by how much? Up the boost and stuff like that? If i can up my power then maybe ill keep the 1.6 in my samurai?

@@BigStuism I don't have one on turning up the boost because this one is naturally aspirated and my other one doesn't use a stock turbo. If you look on my channel I have a video showing you how to advance the timing. If you advance the timing and turn up the fuel screw you will get some more power. Just be careful how much you turn the fuel up because it can run away on you. If it does that just turn the screw back a bit till it doesn't run away. If you check out my other videos though they have more info.

Sweet, thanks man! 😄👍

@@BigStuism yes sir! Glad I could help.

i tapped a hole for it. www.ebay.com/itm/Pyrometer-0-1500F-EGT-gauge-2-52mm-w-6-5-ft-2M-K-thermocouple-probe-black/263598888974?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

What parts do you mean? Intake, exhaust, turbo?

this is my na 81 pickup. i still have the td i built just haven't posted anything new.

lol! yes zip ties! and duck tape! i honestly don't know where it was purchased. but i have a merchandise store with caddy and rabbit designs. daves-t-shirt-garage.myshopify.com/

Thank you. This plus boring the main jet out increased the lower and mid but also improved top end acceleration.

this one is pretty fast and is probably pushing 5hp with all the mods I have. my little bike runs 35 mph or 55 kph. i had one with a 212 on it and it was to torquey for me. i couldn't take off without the front wheel coming up.

Probably about an hour. It's been a while since I did that. It still runs great thought.

I agree using a mill machine would be a lot easier/faster. However not everyone has access to a mill. This was just a simple way to do it on the cheap. Thanks for your comment.

91 octane will run fine in a 10:1 compression ratio

Thanks

It is going on a 79cc predator engine. I believe I shaved 50 thousandths (.050)

@@davesgarage2039 i know it's going on s 79cc predator but what is the engine going on

@@thegeokiller1529 oh. I have it on a mini bike I built a few years back. The engine is not the strongest stock so I bypassed the governor then it was stumbling off the line so I drilled the main jet then decided to shave the head. Now I can use it off road in the mud and it has lots more torque. HP doesn't really kick in till higher rpms. I've personally had it up to 30 mph and it was sketchy. lol. Let me know if you have any more questions.

@@davesgarage2039 can you do a video on it

@@thegeokiller1529 on which?

I've not rebuilt one before and am currently restoring my "caddy". But I've been thinking about rebuilding it. If I do I'll make a video and post it for sure.

Hey man. I got another vw diesel with a leaky ip so I should have a video up in a few weeks on how to rebuild one!
