Hey Matt,. Just want to say I enjoy the channel tremendously. I've learned alot from your videos and even laughed a ton as well. I love the addition of Jeremy and Jon to the team. The editing in the 1.9 TDI swap video is frickin stellar! Keep up the great work!!!

@LordLancifer 5 лет назад

I can already tell Jon will do quality work with this build. It's nice to see someone taking pride in doing it right and building a nice vehicle. I still like the offroad beater type rigs, but there's something about a clean build that is simply refreshing.

1) new intro is sick af 2) this is amazing and cant wait to see it 3) need to figure out the finer details for a tdi to WJ for myself (yeah big daddy gonna roll coal!) :P

@DRTJon 5 лет назад

That will be sick! WJ might be a good candidate for one of the newer TDIs too, but any way you go, TD Conversions has you covered with the adapter it's a beautiful piece. Personally I am a manual guy all the way so an AX15 or NSG370 would be my only choices, but I'd understand wanting to keep the Grand living up to it's name so AW4 would probably be a good choice for that build as well.

@jeeperscreepers78 5 лет назад

Great video, here in the european market most of our Jeep are diesel powered, KJs and JKs got a 2.8 CRD engine made by VM motori, very torquey engines, good amount of power and reliability too. You may consider them for a diesel swap, they are ready to match Jeep transmission with no adapters then you can find them to the junkyard for cheap with all the wiring harness and its own ECM. As a Jeep anthusiast , I'll be happy to help you buy and ship you engine and parts for you, just let me know. Keep doing what you're doing guys, your videos are great.

@DRTJon 5 лет назад

In European markets that may be a great option. Here in the US we only got them in the KJ with an automatic transmission and production numbers were quite limited. I have never seen one in a salvage yard. Some years back I came across an early body style XJ with the 2.5 VM Motori but the price (had front end damage and they wanted $2500) and parts cost/availability scared me away.

@kylereynolds5670 5 лет назад

Love the lil kiddo part hahaha. Totally Into makin my xj roll some coal! Can’t wait to see how ya did it!🧐

@Chom112 5 лет назад

Interesting, this could become popular in Europe or other regions where small diesel engines are very common.

@onefastcyclist 5 лет назад

Jeep sold the XJ in Europe with a diesel option and yes, it was popular

@Chom112 5 лет назад

Gary Button yeah but the VM 2,5 was a horrible little diesel very unreliable and only 110 horsepower or so. At least the VAG tdis are reliable and have more power

@DRTJon 5 лет назад

Europe gets all the diesel things. That’s why we have to build them ourselves here!

@pressharder6920 5 лет назад

Diesel vehicles are discouraged (higher road tax, etc) here in the Netherlands but you can get the engines cheap. It's likely the diesel engine will be phased out from cities and probably in general in the future. Interesting build though for the US. BTW, my xj has a petrol (not diesel) engine...

@arjungutierrez2967 5 лет назад

Nice intro!

@andrewthompsonuk1 5 лет назад

I think this is a fantastic idea. In Europe we have lots of small diesels in big vans. I've driven a 2.0 van with an all up weight of over 3 tones. Still had no problem at all on steep hills. The only time you will miss the 4.0 is when overtaking with oncoming traffic. I suspect it could use half the fuel and may have better touque low down.

@DRTJon 5 лет назад

The TDI has so much tuning potential though! The Jetta was quite snappy and I don't expect the XJ will be much of a slouch in comparison. I'm starting out stage 3 tuned, larger injectors, larger intercooler and 2.5" free flowing exhaust but I definitely plan to upgrade turbo and there's plenty of room for a compound setup in here if needed. Injection pump on mine is the 11mm from it being an automatic so I won't be running out of fuel unless I get to crazy high numbers. Best yet there's tons of strong clutch options for the AX15 so holding 200+ HP won't be a concern. At that point I'll be looking at a new rear for sure though!

Nice to meet you John. I'll be watching you for sure as this is looking rather sweet. Nate actually brought that tdi thought up with his TJ and since then I've been contemplating how to do mine, even tho I already have a diesel in my xj...but not the good VW TDI but the "weird" VM 2.5l tdi. Anyway, just before christmas I got my hands on a bmw m57d30tue2 with factory modified ecu and some 220hp for a good buck so I thought why not give that a try. Fuel eco is still very good, sitting at about 23mpg. So far I'm in the stage of testing it and getting some bits and pieces together but hoping to start dropping it in during summer. I think it might be quite interesting if I do it right. Anyways, cheers to you!
