I've read that Canada is the place to find them. Does anyone have a line on a junkyard that has some for sale? What is the price of one? Thanks.

Thanks. You guys are a great help. I don't need it right away. My NA 1.6 runs good, but I want more power. I also need a winter project. I'm gonna start shopping around for a complete engine. Turb, manifolds, IP, and all. Milwaukee isn't far at all. When would you be looking to sell it? I'll also see about shooting Tyler a message. It's a 26 year old car and my daily driver, so I'm not looking to dump too much money into it.

well I'm waiting for some parts from Tyler (burn you money) as we speak to complete a 1.6TD that i have sitting in the garage! I would not recomend using any part of a N/A to convert it over to a turbo motor the n/a cannot take the heat that the turbo produces! all materials used in a TD is special for it's purpose! there is alot of discussion in this forum on that topic if you do some searching ! it has been controversial topic! thier not cheap pretty expensive down here in the states! there is a high demand for them! so make sure you have a decent car to put the motor in! because once you go turbo you will never want to go back to N/A it's addicting!!! unless you own a caddy or syncro vanagon a TD engine will be worth more than your car!
thanks Duane

It'd be going into an '81 rabbit with 97,000 original miles. Very good shape. I plan on having it resprayed to make it look as good as it will eventually go.

I personally believe that the NA engine is capable of maintaining stock boost levels with slightly less then stock fueling with a good IC and oil cooler.

BTW don't bother contacting me unless you want to pick up the engine. I'm in school now so I don't have the time or space to organize shipping an engine. plus you'd be looking at well over $400 just for shipping

Well, it's good to know you can get them. I'm still wanting to go to London, ON to visit a friend and pick one up. I'll let you know when I plan to do that.
