Show Us Your Project! debossgarage.com/nation
We’re looking for interesting swaps, oddball classics and custom builds that you can tell us all about while we take it for a drive. Tell us what you’ve got, where you live, and if we are in your area we’ll be in touch!
MB OM 606 is the best swap. Wake up.
I got a project in mind, but not the budget. If I had your sub count, I could get it done overnight.
Great videos! Makes me wanna spend a lot of time and money working on my vehicles lol
Hi DG love the channel . I recently put VW tdi in homemade buggy she is a ripper. let me know if ye want pics vids or info.
@@Tsalinger even considering the cost difference? Great engine no doubt. It we can find 100 tdi engines for every 1 606 in this part of the world
The 1.9 TDI engines were a real gem. Utterly reliable, very tuneable and excellent on fuel plus - no DPF to worry about. We love them in the UK.
PD for the win!
I'm assuming dpf is our equivalent of Diesel exhaust fluid?
@@simonsaysr1994 Diesel particulate filter; the carbon catching canisters on modern diesel exhausts. We do have AdBlue systems here which is the urea/de-ionised water exhaust fluid. Neither are very popular with enthusiasts.
You guys in the uk have some amazing diesel vehicles it’s to bad us guys in the states don’t have many options
I had an alh block 1.9 and I miss it greatly. I now have a passat nms with the 2.0 commonrail.. while it is way more powerful pushing close to 200 hp and right around 300 foot pounds I still miss that old slow 1.9 jetta I had
As a TDI owner this is a dream swap.
1.9 TDI is a living legend
As long as it's manual they can go forever. co worker got his to go 270,000 miles till his automatic transmission went out engine still runs great
I love this engine. I'm from germany and i got it in my B5.5 Passat 4Motion. It runs great even with stock performance (131hp 310nm torque) and you can really open these engines up just with a simple remap. Mine has 180hp and 420nm and it really makes it a fast car. The VTG turbo gives you amazing throttle response. I would really recommend picking a 1.9 tdi with a vgt turbo for a swap. For swapping you need the engine harness and you need to turn off the immobilizer in the ecu. Most people who do remaps can do that. Greetings from germany and keep up the great vids!
In America the ALH block 1.9 is only available with a variable vane turbo from the factory as far as i know. it is a small one though, ours came stock with a VNT-15
I am currently in the middle of a 4Runner tdi swap. I have done all the machining myself on my mill and lathe. Hopefully I’ll have it running next week!
My dad and I are going to try that, he's currently driving the bug around and we're trying to get a lead on adapters to the v6 tranny, still not sure what i'll do about the oil pan clearance for the IFS
About17Cheezits I raised the engine and trans 2 inches up and about 2 inches forward for clearance. I welded a new drain plug in the pan on the other side. I used the Toyota engine mounts and relocated them for proper mounting.
Thomas Van Krevelen my dad currently has a mercedes 3.0 turbo diesel mated to a Chevy th350 in a project he’s working on, he made the adapter plate and crank adapter in his garage with a ww2 era lathe and some basic tools, and he’s a fireman not a machinist
Can we get a walk around vid??
blapblapism I plan on doing a video on Monday on how far I am into the project. Hopefully I’ll have it running by the end of the week. And I’ll post a follow up when it’s done.
I've got a running driving ALH (2001) TDI swap in a 2001 XJ Cherokee. It's really a pretty easy swap to do, though not cheap. I did not use the Cotybuilt kit, I put a lot of other components together to make mine and I am very happy that I did. I retained all factory Jeep gauges in the dash, and with the stock turbo and just a stage 1 tune (where I started out) it could hold 75 on the highway and got 32 MPG. I've upgrade the turbo, intake, injectors, and air cleaner, and the power is incredible. 0-60 is very impressive and passing power is way better than the 4.0, as witnessed by the gray cloud in the rearview around the vehicles previously seen through my windshield. It's a ton of fun and well worth it. Not quite V8 power, but it's lighter, and the fuel economy is significantly better.
Jon BleepinJeep you have an awesome TDi XJ build for sure! If I did it again, I would probably do a build more like yours.
Did you keep AC? This would be a fun swap, but the wife has to have AC haha.
Brian Spittell You can not keep the Jetta’s AC compressor in the stock location unless you have 6.5+” lift and a lot of confidence in your bump stops. I’m moving the AC to the opposite side by the turbo using Passat B5 parts
Of course I was watching and waiting to see 'which' TDI engine was used.. Never got a decent camera shot into the engine compartment and I don't believe it was ever mentioned.
We eat, sleep and breath these tdi engines. I have quite a hoard! Love it!
Hey, Rich! I did a 1.9 tdi swap to a '84 VW microbus camper a couple of years ago, but that one is sold for long now. as the bus has been a diesel before the swap (and therefore already water cooled), the whole swap was mechanically easy, the engine fitted to the original gearbox (as South Africa Busses had these engines installed from factory also!) and I had to fabricate the two engines mount brackets by myself. The main job was installing the electrics, and as I didn't have anyone to flash and modify the engine computer, I went straight forward and even put the key-sensor in to deactivate the original immobilizer system... In the end that engine with its only 90 hp ate up three gearboxes due to its higher torque. The first one was a modified 5-gear box, that I modified with south african add-ons (like additional oil cooling guides and pipes inside and a longer 5th gear ration sprocket), that one only lasted about 50 kms :) All in all a nice ride, comfy and quick (compared to the original 50 hp diesel). Loved that bus though, had to sell it as my job expected longer highway runs in shorter times.... Right now I am projecting an 83 Suzuki LJ80 / Jimny with an engine swap from the original F80 Engine (800 ccm / 38 hp) to an A BIT more modern F10A Engine (1000 cc, 41 hp). That ones going to be my second daily driver (only when its not raining, as I only have a bikini top on it and no doors). All the best from Northern Germany! If I get to the US nearby your workshop, I will definitely give you a shout and show up for a chat! Christian
See if you can check out AvE's mate Dewclaw's VW diesel Jeep, it's a masterpiece!
I was trying to remember where I saw a Diesel VW powered Jeep. Same concept, different Canadian.
i love AvE hes got such great videos, and i remember seeing that jeep and it being pretty dope.
My Lord that thing is an abortion lol Rich would have nightmares about that thing
The one in dewclaws jeep is a indirect injected 1.6 turbo VW engine. it's a much older design than the TDI and was found in rabbits and jettas in the 80 and 90s. I'm guessing the reason that he chose that engine is because it's fully mechanical and a much easier swap than something like a TDI.
Ooh that would be hilarious better have ave in it to. DEEWCLAAAWWW !!!
I had a Golf 1.9 tdi, it was the best diesel I ever had until it died from flood damage. Great engines and I love the sound they make. In Europe them engines are good for 250,000 miles easy with minimal maintenance.
Only thing I would say in check the cam-belt tensioner pulley stud as it tend to bend and snap on higher mileage engines, anything after 150,000miles i would check it or just straight up put a new one in.
250K miles? Mine was around 314k hard miles when the injection pump went out, prior to that no major repairs needed haha They last forever. There are some on the market right now with 500k miles
Tanks for the video, I was just taking to a friend the other day about doing a TDI swap in my jeep.
I’ll bet it’s a lot better than the gas 4 banger
I finished this swap into my 94 YJ earlier this year and love it! Loads more hp and torque. About 31 mpg with 33s and 7” lift. HPA/Coty built were great
Any tips on how to get started?
I'm looking to do this swap on my 93 YJ, its a 4 cylinder w/ an AX5 trans & Dana 35 rear w/ dana 30 front. Did you have to swap axles?
I’ve done a 1.6 idi VW swap into my samurai. Thing runs awesome but if I could do it again I’d do a TDI. Making the Idi run was super easy. Hook up fuel, run the shutoff wire, new starter and boom it ran. Thing ran too hot for a while though so I had to get a bigger radiator and new fans.
So glad I saw this video! I should look into a TDI swap for a 89 scrambler im working on!
Love the enthusiasm you have for others people's stuff, that's sort of rare. Btw in Europe old 1.9 TDI, TDI PD, 2.0 TDI both transverse and long mount are readily available and very cheap. If you need one sending over, let me know!
These gearbox's havent caused me any trouble, grinding in 3rd lol
It could be the heavy duty clutch, he said it was " double friction" which may be a clue, lol.
Common thing with jeeps
That’s what I was coming here to say!
All 4 manual YJs i've driven grind in 3rd. Ax5 and ax15 alike. Lol
@@ryanlong4021 I have no grinding in all gears except a tiny bit in reverse. Just change the fluid regularly and take care of it.
Massive range, low end torque exactly what you need in an off roader!
OMG YES 🤘. This is exactly what I've been wanting to do. I love the TDI platform and have been wanting to swap it into something and do an awesome build with it. Just don't have the money to do it right now
I put a TDI out of a 98 Jetta into an 81 Rabbit pickup. Some challenges were converting truck and pedal cluster to use hydraulic clutch and drive by wire pedal. Also fitting intercooler and associated piping under the hood. Trans swap was easy for me because I stayed VW. Motor mounts on TDI same as 1.6 NA too, so not a problem. I found a wiring harness diagram online and had it printed on big paper so I could trace all wires and delete what I didnt need. Then it was a matter of making new work with old. It runs and drives but is very def a work in progress.
When I interned at a shop a customer had brought a 1.9 vw diesel and it had over 500k miles on it with the stock block, and was just coming in for its 2nd or 3rd thermostat change, i like those engines.
as a TDI owner, I am still jealous.
I want all the tdis in everything
best tdi swap is a MTDI, it requires zero wires to run. Yeah it shakes a little more, yeah you gotta turn a screw driver to tune it, but you dont need computers to tune or set timing.
Injection pump off land rover discovery diesel bolts right on, and works ok out of the box
I've had mine running on a mtdi rover pump for almost 10 years!
That is awesome! What a great idea and video too Rich thanks.
Swapping a old tdi into a 1955 Willis overlander. Vw had a broken timing belt an bent valves so picked it up cheap. Building trans adapter and will be able to keep the trans and transfer case in factory location. Thought of 6.5 injector upgrade but it already has three times the power of the 4 banger gas so will see when it’s done. Wiring was super easy
Love to see more with the TDI! Also can’t wait for the OBS F350! I did a 5.9 12v Cummins swap in my 88 F150 4x4. Is a 93 Cummins from a dodge. Truck runs great and love the mileage I get out of it. It’s my daily. Later plan to put the 1 ton a axles under it and A/C.
Legit, this is a great swap. Kudos to the guy
Phil Atkins thanks!
Zachary Barlow which series/year TDI did you use? Great swap. My 4.0 in the ‘97 TJ I have is still going strong at 180K but I see a swap at some point in the future and would like to go diesel. 👍
Very nice, I was even joking with my friend that I wanted to put the 2.0 TDi thats in my 2015 TDi wagen into my 93 Miata, lol. Imagine the mileage, lol.
The vw 5 cylinders 2.5 tdi engines are great, longlasting and reliable engines, i took one of them from an old volvo v70 and converted it in a older volvo 740. Made my own wiring, engine mounts for it.
Got a vw 1.9 TD AAZ code motor from germany in my street legal rail buggy on 35’s......so great
Years back, I pulled the 4cyl in my YJ and put it an in-line 6, 4.0. Now I want a TDI.
Exactly why I want to find a 4 cyl YJ!!!
Love your Channel !!!
Sure miss my 5 speed alh tdi getting 55 mpg. Family got to big for it. Some day if I can can still find an alh for cheap I would love to do a swap
My BEW Golf ‘04 has topped out at 127, in stock form. Amazing engine.
Very cool swap. I never would have considered the VW TDI. On a related note, I'd love to see a real world Cummins R28 into a Jeep XJ, etc. "Real world" meaning the person doing it wasn't gifted the R28 from the Cummins sales rep, the adapter kit + $10k worth of suspension, wheels, tires free from JEGS or whomever. We all po' up in here! :P
❤️ your wipers are doing the same thing that my Jeep did and both my Ram trucks do!
Dutty Diesel it’s the Jeep yj design they aren’t supposed to go all the way down
@@abrahambaker5085 - Argue if you must... But I'm telling you I have had it happen to a Jeep WJ, and also 2 ram pickups!
I would say it's a Chrysler thing, not a Jeep YJ thing.
Love it, im getting ready to buy one.
I’ve messed with the pump dusse TDI’s and I love them. I’m building up a 2.0 BHW for a Passat build right now. The motor is torn down at the moment. Hopefully it will be back up in the next couple weeks. The next project is we are pulling the bug motor out of my buddies custom trike and swapping in a 1.9 TDI. The trike will be fun. Hoping to turn up the fuel and run stacks. It will be a head turner for sure
Revisiting this while thinking of a repower for our JKU. would love to see you build something with a TDI
I swapped a 10 horse Briggs with a 16.5 horse kohler in my lawnmower with a 4 speed, then did a pulley swap. plan to weld the front swing axle solid and swap the engine pulley to get her up to about 35 mph and go flat track racing
Explains how great the trans is... grinds in every gear lol. Cool swap though!
Double friction clutch is a clue, lol.
Damn, makes me wish I still had mine and my dads project from 20 years ago....a '79 Ford pinto that we swapped an old Lays potato chip truck diesel into it!
My favorite Jeep was my 4 banger, had the 6 carb and a newer 6 rubicon. The 4 banger was the most fun to drive.
Lol keeping it in the revs, indeed fun to drive.
I had a client with a vw fox with the not so good injection system the spider of injection lines. Long story short I put a golf diesel in it. You have to mix and match gas and diesel bits to make it work but it works well. I had to make up a bracket for the altinator I used a Gm unit... It was fun.
Those TDI's are fantastic engines, totally bulletproof- keep them maintained and they run forever.
Pulled a VW engine out of my 1980 Melroe Spra-coupe and installed a Toyota 18R.
I went from 50 ish HP to 100 HP. I used a Kennedy adapter and built all the rest myself.
My 1978 F250 4x4 has a "swapped" 460 that I put in to replace the 400. It was "made" for it!
i swaped 3ct in cj7 with ssrx gearbox and tubes. performed well
Perfect swap
Good shit Maynard.
I have two. Great cars. Thinking about putting one in my square body s10
I’ve got a 87 Toyota Pickup.
I’ve always wanted to do something along these lines. Figured it fit nicely without a bunch of modification
Many years ago I put a Rover 3.5L V8 in a 1970 VW bus It was relatively easy and I could start in 2nd gear and go straight to 4th
Dream jeep right there. I have a Lada Niva I'm trying to get to that swap on.
To do a simple swap with no hassle with wireing put a early tdi pump on with just a cable throttle arm still have your turbo etc I've got one going into a 1947 fargo half ton this summer keep u posted
Love the owner repping that Bleepin Jeep swag! lol
what a cool swap
Super cool owner and a great swap choice 👍
Great video
I swapped a caravan 2.5 turbo into my dodge omni it had the 2.2 non turbo, very fun little sleeper
I've put a 1.9tdi AHF engine in my off road buggy which I've fabricated from scratch. Chipped the ECU to 140hp and alongside the low weight of the vehicle it goes like stink! Getting the engine wiring harness to work outside of the donor car took a bit of head scratching but the end result is actually quite simple. The ECU has had the immobiliser "turned off" so it can run without the instrument cluster and key.
VW TDI is a great choice nice to see
check out the 1.6 idi diesel that cam in the early rabbit. they run with one wire and use the same bosche VE rotary pump that was used on early 4bt cummins engines
Great video! I’m looking into doing this conversion now.
#1 question- total cost when all is said and done?
Cool, dad has a 94 and was looking into motors cause it has the 2.5 5spd
My cj7 has a Renault turbo diesel... not really fast but runs without any issues !
What a great idea.
I had a 95 Jeep Wrangler had the 4.0L in-line 6 with ax-15 5 speed manual transmission. I ended up swapping in a Chrysler 360 V8 power to weight in that thing was unreal lol
My uncle's CJ5 has a 360 AMC with 3 speed and a fiberglass body, it pulls wheelies so I feel yea lol.
Not bad my 89 yj still got the 2.5l running fine but plagued with exhaust manifold issues, no upgrades that are worth from what I've seen. Swapping out for another motor is in my future without a doubt.
Have an '03 Jetta TDI Wagon. Been wanting to do a TDI swap on something, wondering why people don't do them more often. Do a few mods and you can get decent power on an older one. Newer ones are not too bad from the factory for the size.
Alh engine is direct injection (before diesel gate) legendary motor for reliability and heaps of mods available.
Most diesels that are from efter the 70s are direct injection
My buddy has one in his xj and a lot of guys are doing the small block chevy swaps too
This is the best way to go. Buying brand new with the diesel is nuts.....
to do a tdi swap you need the whole harness ecu cluster anything that is related to the engine i cant wait for you to get your hands on a tdi
Super cool swap! Maybe I can convince my GF she needs a TDI in her YJ haha. After I finish my 12 valve explorer of course xD
Cool swap
I'm from germany and you can get these tdi here everywhere. They are now cheap because of the diesel gate which is going on right here now. And those engines aproved as bullitproved for germany stadarts. 300k km easy without big parts changed. Love those engines! Look around for a R5 Tdi, this was the best engine built by VW.
I've got an 89 Toyota pickup with a mechanical 1.9 td VW, As for a TDI swap Acme adapters sell just about everything you need to swap the TDI into a Toyota, Jeep or Suzuki. For my Swap I used their flywheel and transmission adapter. I made my own engines mounts and coolant lines. Mine only needs 1 12v wire to run so I didn't have to deal with the computer. There are a lot of companies that will flash the computer and cut down the wring
Which VWs have the mechanical fuel pumps? Thanks.
@@dbdbprairie3804 I believe it came out of a 92 Jetta. The engine code is AAZ. I think they are called IDI in the USA. They come in 1.6 1.9 NA and turbo. It only needs a 12v wire on the back of the injection pump to run. Nice and simple
@@blowinkk9396 thank you. That's why I drive a 12 valve Cummins. Durability and simplicity seem to go hand in hand. I'm jonesing to one of the vw engines in a Toyota.
@@dbdbprairie3804 I wanted the 4BT but the price is just stupid for one. I was going to go with a TDI in my 4Runner, I bought some of the parts then I came across the VW 1.9 Td (not TDI), so I ended up picking up a truck with a SAS and without the engine and swapped in the AAZ. A lot ppl said it wouldn't have the power but it has the same power as the 22RE that was in my truck. I can hold 90-100 going uphill. The only mod I did to the engine was turn up the boost. When I finish my 4Runner it will be another VW diesel. I will either upgrade the 1.9 TD for a little more power OR I will put a TDI in the 4Runner.
@@blowinkk9396 sounds awesome. I wanted a reliable fuel sipper for family excursions. When I start the project I may hit you up through this video, if I hit dead ends. Good luck to you.
Gonna do a 1.9 alh in my 92 Ford explorer little big but I'm gonna do bigger injectors turbo and a 11mm injection pump I plan on buying the adapter plate and building my own harness with immobilizer deleted ecu my buddy signed up to help with the engine mounts
I drive an 06 1.9 tdi jetta and it's great! 45 mpg average and it even has the original cam at 193k miles. My 3rd gear grinds sometimes too, it's really weird because I know lots of people that have the same problem with completely different vehicles.
Remove the VW transmission oil and try GM syncromesh oil in the transmission. It got rid of my 2nd gear grind. Pennzoil syncromesh is the same thing but cheeper.
In Europe we fit mercedes OM606 3l straight six’s to these. Superb engines and efficient too. No electronics.
Been thinking of using an OM617 in my CJ.
Possibly the best use of vw stuff I've ever seen on a non-vw build. This jeep passes.
Тhere is big variety in TDI, from rotary electric pump in 1996 to CR in 2008+. In VW TDI world there is one engine AFN that is universal, it can do over 200 HP with turbo end injectors. It is from passat b5 and golf mk3.
i think i saw some where there was a Tdi wiyh a bosche VE pump conversion !no computer flash needed !
I have a 91 Buick Regal coupe with a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP supercharged 3800 v6
Pumpe Deuse with 561,000km. They are an absolutely incredible engine.
Nice, 461k km on my BLS so I have a bit of catching up to do
Hey bro, i also have 1.9tdi pd skoda octavia diesel 2007 clocked 1 lac kms on odo. Which oil you use? Do you use engine flush?
@@1.9tdilove71 I live in Canada, so there's this chain store here called Canadian Tire. I try to hit up whatever quality oil is on sale at a time near my change. Usually ends up being full synthetic Castrol 10w/30. I do not use engine flush. One thing I did do a while back was and egr delete and at the same time I cleaned my intake plenum. We had this old BBQ out back and I had this giant pot that I filled with a mix of water and this cleaning solution that is not harmful to the plenums material. On low heat, I slow cooked that thing for about 4 hours and it cleaned all the built up carbon. It made a huge difference. If you drive in the city primarily the amount of build of carbon where the egr valvle is located can be ridiculous. Get rid of it, if you can.
@@brandonblair6868 You mean i should get the egr valve and intake manifold cleaned?
Thank you bro. Will Amsoil engine flush help cleaning the carbon in the engine and components? I heared good about it.
I've got a 95 tdi Wrangler, 35s and 512 rear end, getting about 28mpg tuned up
I'm currently in the middle of using the same swap trans adapter to put a vw 1.8t gas motor in my yj. Its just gonna be for fun and i wanted to do something different
The ALH tdi is the simplest with the mechanical pump and just a lift pump in the tank ... couple of small compounds and you can easily push 250hp.. my ALH has 367k miles on it still going strong with 2nd clutch and original motor
Hi there I’m in the process of collecting all the parts for a tdi swap into my 1969 cj5. I’m going with a vw ALH, sm465 transmission and the stock Dana 18 transfer case with the tapered bearing intermediate shaft gears. 4.10 axles with lockers 4 wheel disc brakes full float Dana 44 from herm the overdrive guy. Oh and an overdrive. Will be for pulling a log arch to recover logs from the woods for my bandsaw mill. Love my Jeep but needs more low end grunt.
I really miss my YJ with a TJ grilled Jeep. Had the 2.5 4 cylinder, 1 tons on 40's and Metal Cloak fenders.
You had 1 tons and 40s on a 2.5L? I bet that thing was a slug lol. What gears did you have? I had a 2.5 yj on 32s with the 4.10s and it sucked haha. I've got a 4.0 TJ now with 5.13s and 37s and it does pretty good
They have a short wheelbase which makes them bouncy. Stretch it about 14 & 7/8 inches and it rides completely different.
New intro looks great. Did Irongav from MCM do it?
nope that's Editor Aaron's work
Davidsfarm had a TDI Caravan 5spd.... good swap crazybritishbloke might know where he's at. They were from London Ontario.
My winter project is to put the Cummins R2.8 into a Pontiac Solstice with a 6L80e transmission. :o)
If you haven't already bought the Cummins, take a look at the Mercedes OM-605 2.5 liter diesel. It's an easy (stock internals) 400 hp 5500 rpm diesel that can use GM transmissions with adapters. Diesel Pump UK makes adapters. Personally, I would use a BMW 6 speed manual, strong, fast, light, and cheap.
Put it in an Aztec lol
@@hobosammich389 Ah the Aztec, the Angels will sing when the last one is crushed.
@@johnparrish9215 any info where I can get that motor??I'm trying to do a swap to a 95 hardbody thanks
@@lucasbenitez3419 1993 to 1998 Mercedes E250 sedans. Look one Copart for complete cars or Car-part for just the engine. Diesel Pump UK has the fuel injection unit you will need (not chap $1000) and transmission adapters. The wonderful part of these engines is there is really only two main parts for making power, the injection pump and the turbo.
Do your self a favor, change the head gasket before you install the engine, it's going to have a lot of miles on it. I didn't on my first one and blew it on the second week. It could be because the old girl was used to 12 pounds of boost and suddenly had 30......lol
It was fine after that.
Also, from having worked on several daily VW TDI Jettas ... when the battery goes dead on an ALH TDI, the electro-mechanical fuel pump just defaults to it's mechanical settings and keeps on chugging (just be sure to roll your window down so you can do your hand signals for braking and turning). There is a treasure trove of diesel swaps on the TDIclub.com forums.
On mine it would run until the gas pedal sucked the last little bit of juice out of it
Bleeped Jeep did a Mercedes diesels Four-cylinder build you should check them out.
My PD105 has 310,000km on it and still sounds like new with minimal vibration. If the van was in bad shape I'd use the engine in my small truck
