After driving the 1.6 D (cs engine) up North Devon hills over the weekend it has become apparent that it needs much more power. After reading all the bits I think the AAZ conversion might be a good plan. I also want to change the gearbox at the same time.
So I am putting together a shopping list of bits to get. Can anyone let me know any other bits or if I have completly missunderstood the whole thing?
AAZ 1.9 TURBO DIESEL ENGINE
DW CODE GEARBOX from a 57kw petrol
1.6TD JX CODE EXHAUST
1.6TD JX CODE EXHAUST MANIFOLD
1.6TD JX CODE SUMP
1.6TD JX CODE AIRBOX AND PIPING
And anyone got what's needed for sale?

Your list looks about right but you will also need:
Spigot shaft bearing (sits in flywheel, gearbox input shaft sits inside bearing)
Pipe to take oil return from turbo to sump (got mine from local hydraulics place) as turbo not the usual one... I have pipe for standard AAz kkk turbo left over, £15 posted.
Bung to put in block where old oil return from turbo is no longer.
(Spigot bearing + pipe + bung usually available from Simon @ Brickwerks)
When you find an AAZ check that the turbo will fit the JX manifold, I have an engine that might or might not be an AAZ (I was told it was, I suspect it isn't) but the turbo has 3 bolts, whereas the JX maninfold has four bolts.
By some accounts it would be a good idea to not route the crankcase breather into the air intake, instead route to an oil catch tank (I think some of these can be connected back to air intake, they just catch any oil that comes out the top of the rocker cover when you go round a long fast right hander, but let the fumes through and back into the air supply. At the moment mine is venting to the air and the back of the van is covered in a film of engine oil....
When you've got all the major bits together you'll just need a few gaskets.
