Down here in australia aint nobody understand how much i wanna do this conversion...i get loooked at like im an alien from what planet. Please help can i get a kit from you still?
This kind of a dumb question but what's the gas mileage and can you still talk with that little engine cuz I owned an MK4 with this engine it was so slow I'm so surprised to see it even moved the truck
They are easily tuned to be quite fast. Some people make 450hp 650ftlbs. All with the diesel bonus, the less restricted the engine is, the better the fuel economy when cruising.
So basically, you made your own mounts to the existing power steering, ac, and alternator bracket to where they were before with the 3.4. I am curious as to how you did the electrical/wiring harness, cause obviously you kept the stock on for the alternator and ac. I'm assuming you just tapped into the sensors with the old harness?
Nearly $5,000 in annual savings on fuel if my math is correct Probably pays for itself within 4 years even if you go with something a little crazier that requires a transmission swap as well
Are you still doing conversions? My partner is thinking about converting her 98 4Runner to diesel and we're trying to figure out what a reasonable price is. Also what a reasonable time frame is. One site said $35,000 and at that point you could just buy a new truck.
That ant 40 mpg man! It's more like 32mpg. I can get that with a gas kia sorento, actually 38 mpg with 3 passengers if I work at it and that's an average over 200 kilometers not 7 lol.
do you still make the components for this swap? motor mounts adapter brackets etc... I have gotten my hands on a motor and am considering retiring my fuel hungry 3.4 but am having trouble finding mounts online or anything about your company. I'm in Washington state. thanks
I was seconds away from buying a Cummins r2.8 and I stumbled on this. Im having difficulty find a website. Ive already sourced an r150f and 1.9L tdi. How can I source bellhousing/input adapters, bekt adapters and mounts? Thanks. I did find one website but, it was 30,000 for the kit. Yikes.
How much did this conversion cost you in total? I get 14mpg on a good day in my 99 4Runner and spend about $600/mo with gas being around $5.40/gal here. Curious to see how long it would take to pay for itself.
@@fabriciooliveira3720 there is a guy that has a channel about TDIs and he put one in a Silverado 1500. He tows a trailer with another truck on top of it, and his total weight is like 7,000+lbs.
@@fabriciooliveira3720 do you own a house or do you live in an apartment complex? If you have the space, buy a $200 harbor freight engine hoist and do it yourself. After you complete your first engine swap, you will feel like the strongest human in the universe. I highly recommend DIY. There are plenty of videos teaching it. If you hire someone, they will charge you $5,000 and they’ll still fuc# it up and at the end you still have to fix it.
