TDI engine project build running by its lonesome, diesel and air only. 12 volt source just to get it started. It eventually will be going in a Toyota trail rig build.
The previous iteration of this engine the TD (no i) was particularly bomb proof. I had one in a Passat, I only filled up once a month, like this one it had no electronics at all. You could pressure wash the engine bay whilst it was running and it wouldn't stop.
Great job guys! That is a great engine choice also. My buddy at work has a 2001 Jetta TDI with 438k. miles on her! Can't wait to see the Tonka roll with it! Curtis
You guys inspired me to put 1.9 tdi in my rabbit. After watching this vid I did a bunch of research and made my own hybrid pump for a 1.9 I found dirt cheap. Went with bigger nozzles and now I’m waiting on some gaskets to go bigger turbo! Thank you!
A dinosaur engines, one of the best diesel ever made by VW, there are really popular here in EU, a lot of people still have them even it turned over 400.000 kms. Skoda (one of the concern's makes) sold them with 66kw and 81kw, finally 96kw this one already have PD injectors. still doing service. I would assume the one shown would have 74kw or even 66kw if it's from golf. Super cheap parts, really reliable engine with low consumption!!! my 1.9 TDi 77kw 2006 Octavia II. and my wife's 2.0 TDi 103 kw facelifted octavia II 2009 we curently drive could not be ever compared, both complicated PDs injectors....full of electronic devices such a pain...miss my old octavia 2002 I. 81kw!!! or golf IV 2001 74kw
Indeed. Stepping down two cylinders from a AKE 2.5 TDI (also a decently reliable engine) to this as my winter daily. A buddy drove his 1.9 TDI past 600k kilometers just recently, it even seem to have retained most if not all the horses too.
@@swiclabc even 96kw has been a PD!!! Put this text to google translator “před časem potěšen oznámením automobilky, že se zavádí montáž TDI motoru s výkonem 96 kW. Ten je osazen moderním systémem přímého vstřikování paliva čerpadlo tryska neboli TDI-PD.” 74kw as well but this one has been fitted to a “tour” released octavias aroun 2010 only.
This is a part of history that made vw one of the biggest car makers in the world. Every part is so fucking huge on this motor regardless to fact it has 90-110bhp. You get there a oil filter that comes from a 10liter truck! Solid and simple.
Best engine 1.9TDI 90hp, till now 2.5 milion kilometers in 20 years. No big problems, regular oil change and time belt. Only bad spots are: electro magnetic ventil on bosh pump(fixed by direct connecting wire on ventil from light position) and intercooler pipe always blow(fixed with duck type).
Thanks for the video I always wanted to use one of these 1.9‘s and do a swap in a Dodge Dakota but I did not know how to do the electronics on the electronic injection pump
I know this is an old video but for anyone wanting to make a similar modification you can get a fully mechanical p-pump from an older rabbit or golf 1.6 and it will practically bolt right in to where the 1.9 pump sits and I believe uses the same cam belt gear but could be wrong. The only thing that you have to look out for is injector / pump tuning. Ideally you'd use the 1.6 injectors to start off with to make sure the conversion works as they will match how the pump is tuned, but could go back to the 1.9 or bigger aftermarket injectors that way you can lower the overall duration of the injector fire, and therefore you can reduce egts and up the power, but that is if you are trying to really tune it to how it should be, a 1.6 pump and injectors will make this 1.9 a dog but usable, but there is a plethora of modifications you can do to tune the pump with bigger injectors. Buying an old pump is risky, but an old pump can almost always be rebuilt and retuned, as long as there is a parts market, or you can learn to resource and reuse old parts, but that requires having a good amount of space for an abundance of good and bad parts to salvage from, which can turn into a cluster-phobic headache or an eyesore for most who don't see the value.
Deano! What's up. The intake on those diesels are notorious for getting clogged up. Also I have an almost infinite supply of fryer oil if you want to biodiesel it. Good luck. It looks pretty interesting.
JOOOHHHNNNIIEEEEEEE!!! This will likely have a high mounted snorkel intake fed directly to the turbo. Sadly, its all been moved into store for the winter. We lost our barn/workspace (grandmothers property is up for sale) so it may be a bit until we can get back at it. Still have lots to do on the frame and what not.
Wow,,,I never have a recollection of subscriving so fast to a channel! I LOVE This video "No electronics is AWESOME!!! perfect for SHF...and prepping. How much was that fuel pump?
I'm interested in doing this on my toyota pickup. can you please put me in touch with him so i can clarify a few things on what was needed for the pump to be used?
Might need a few more parts for that Yota. That is exactly what I would do with that motor though. Good on ya. Maybe put it in a Samurai or an old beat to shit Jeep. Good luck!
Kwl. This gives me an idea to try and start my car without a key by shorting the starter ignition wire to the battery positive to see if the engine will run
1,9 tdi alh engine with vtg turbo! A little bit better (simpler) 1.9 tdi agr engine, turbo with simple flap mechanism to reduce / regulate the pressure. I own the agr 365tkm / 230tmi consumption 4,5l/100km / 62mpg
Hi you are amazing. Would you consider putting a VW Diesel into my s10 blazer. Diesel Conversion specialist makes a bolt up kit to a Chevrolet Transmission (adapter plate, starter, fly wheel etc...
Well, a relative of mine (70 year old gentleman, to be fair) have COMMON RAIL Renault Mégane and sure enough, he will always tap the gas pedal (on common rail car) few times before cold-starting it... ahhhh
@ryank5688 true because the centrifugal fly weights in the governor ate turning so slow still which allows much more fuel of the hop from low cranking speeds
Which injection pump, and which engine is that "Exactly"? I'm looking to do something similar for a toyota build that doesn't require an ECU. Any info would be excellent!
Did you have to make any special plumbing or adapters to make the VE pump fit the ALH? Also what is the setup for the spacer behind the gear ? Cool stuff man
I'd like to purchase the info, specifics, specifications... that you've figured out so I can avoid the research and trial and error. I have a eurovan and am ready to convert. I prefer the non computerized conversion and am pressed by your work.
+Michele Oliveira Eu cheguei a fazer isso, porém o eixo da bomba injetora do 1.9 comeu bastante, a estrutura dele é para um motor mais fraco, e o alh já fica é forte p essa bomba. Tomara que a sua de certo e não aconteça isso. Agora montei com a bomba do Cummins e coloquei LDA está vuando minha saveiro e com a turbina da ducato 2.3
Boa tarde Wesley, vc deve ter deixado a correia com muita pressão por isso comeu o eixo da bomba, normal até nos 1.6D. vendi o 1.9 ALH e uso na minha saveiro um 1.6D com turbo variável do 1.9 ficou muito bom e econômico. Uso cambio PS com coroa e pinhão 9x35 foi a relação mais longa possível no cambio dos vw AP. Mais longa que esta acho que só do passat alemão com motor em linha
Do you guys have a part number for the VE pump? I’m looking to do the same for a build I’m doing. Also How does the pump know to deliver more fuel with it being turbo? Does the VE pump have a boost refrence take off?
The AAZ(TD) is a pre chamber diesel and the TDI is a direct injection engine with a ECU controlled injection pump. This guy has made a mTDI the m is the mechanical pump like a AAZ would have (No ECU).
the waste gate in these old motors just used manifold pressure and the spring in the waste gate to manage boost pressure curde but effective for millions of diesel engines made
im in processe imagining an electronic free vnt system wired on a cable throttle of my 2,0l jetta engine , found that complete manifold of 1.9TDI fit perfectly with the 2.0lAEG head , kinda cool
No electronics.. there's the starter and the shut off valve my mtds can run on no electronics at all. I got the litle electric shut off valve out and i can start it down the hill (on a hot day of coure) And shut it off with the mechanical shutoff lever verry cool
I don't exactly remember... I did have to buy a timing tool for the injection pump. But there are timing marks on both the injection pump and the engine.
yup if ever my injection pump dies in my 04 golf im buying a 500$ beater to get to work and back and in the work shop my dub goes for what you just did was wondering if the older pump could go on a tdi drive by wire sucks
