That was a quick 10 minutes.. looking forward to next Friday.. one quick question, how much h.p. did you have in the LS motor in the Rambler project? See you next week...
I'm surprised to see an AHU engine in that thing, instead of an ALH! AHU/1Z 1st gen TDI engines are harder to come by these days. Was there a clearance issue with the ALH oil pan / oil pump on the Wrangler chassis that necessetated that choice? I wouldn't think there would be.
Yeah we found this one with the mechanical pump already installed that’s why we went this way. There wasn’t any issue with clearance really it’s so small it’s pretty far behind the front axle
Exactly which injection pump did you guys use? Was it a used custom built pump? What head size, 10mm, 11mm, or 12mm? If not custom, what OEM application and Bosch part #???? The # of interest starts out with "0 460 4#4 ###" and is on the side of the injection pump, stamped or inked on a rectangular pad.
Also wondering what shop you had rebuild the pump? And what size injector nozzles you've upgraded to? Also, what turbo you're running. Stock? A Garrett GBC17-250 and some .216, .220, .230, .240 etc nozzles professionally installed and balanced sure would scoot well, and make enough power to overcome the big losses that full size truck automatic transmission will incur.
You really need to put back the electrical on that tdi, mecanical pumps keep failing on that setup , because mainly those deep dish pistons. They dont add up. And ajustements are pretty much useless. If you ever need a custom harness, i can help you guys and even ship it. Keep up the good work
The reason for mechanical injection pump failures has nothing to do with the pistons or which VE-based TDI engine the pump is installed on... Failures are only due to people buying a cheaply built "mTDI pump" instead of a quality unit, or else from buying a well used junkyard pump.
And the amount of adjustments on the mechanical pumps are almost as infinite as the VP37 drive by wire version, the dbw version does alter fueling based on engine/fuel temperature, as well as altering fueling slightly in order to accommodate for injector/compression imbalances. There is also a bit wider range of available dynamic timing advance on the VP37 dbw VE pumps, but there are very basic mods to give more than useable timing range to the mechanical pumps. They aren't lacking to begin with, however.
The mechanical setups have gotten a bad rap because of many who chose them not having the electrical aptitude to wire up a standalone harness, and correspondingly lacking a bit in mechanical knowledge and ability to properly time and tune a mechanical injection pump. You're not typically hiring a pro tuner like Nelson or Saku as you would with an ECU tune, the tune is left to the end user who iften doesn't have the mechanical and electrical skills to do either - build a standalone harness or time & tune an injection pump.
still loving the series.
Thanks!!
Pretty cool swap right there.
Thank you!
looking forward to the build. I've been thinking about doing a tdi swap to my YJ
That’s awesome!
Great video! Can’t wait to get this thing out in the dirt
Gotta get both tdi wagons together!
search if this engine needs rebafling on the oil pan, fwd to rwd honda engines have this problem but idk about vw ones
Will do
Keep up the awesome content
Thanks !
Love your work 👍
Thanks!

Thanks for watching! That ls1 made around 470 wheel.
@@Rustomod wow.. very nice.. see you next week...

It’s a ve pump kinda similar to the 4bt probably a pump off a 1.6 tdi.
I think the pump was re built by parts plus? Stock rebuild I believe. We are using a k03/k04 hybrid turbo.

We’ll keep the mechanical pump thanks tho!
