Bought a low mileage AHU tdi engine this week and since I have all the conversion stuff lying around I'm building it as a spare unit or to go in my 2wd camper.

now we're talking... which pump you using?

I'm more interested in how well the shadow board is organised

now we're talking... which pump you using?

It's a Bosch high pressure pump for a Fiat with direct injection (tdi) from the early nineties. The pump has the same shaft diameter, it's plug and play, I do not open the pump. The only thing I changed on the one in my syncro is that I put in a more agressive boost pin in the LDA.

interesting.. have you got part numbers for the pump?

The number is badly corroded and unreadable. The one to look for is the one with the throttle lever on the opposite side and 21 mm shaft.

Give us a shout when your done Rob, we'll be over and pick it up, it'll go nicely in the Doka

Made some good progress the last few days. Almost ready for a test run on a wooden pallet, I will put on a diesel bellhousing with a starter for that.

Whats with the bananas Rob?

Don't you know that bananas are good for you? I had to eat loads of them in order to empty the boxes so I could put spare parts in them! It's my parts department. I have two more vans, a Karmann Ghia and a Golf Mark II so I hoard spares I find at swapmeets to keep it all running..

Dam those yellow bendy fruits.

Jed

should we do a swap for a 5,83 driveline and a banana cutter?

Would you be able to get away with installing an engine like this to your van Jason as from the engine hatch it looks just like a jx.

thanks to the nice lady at the danish motor registration office not knowing the difference between HP and KW i can now put (legally) a 109,5 hp engine in the van

Only thing missing is a turbo. Anyone have one lying around? I'm looking for the standard JX turbo, KKK brand (Borg), type K14 with no or minimal play on the turbine..
