actually I think the very early 1.5's had a spline drive instead of the tab. (these are probably the ones with curly oil line. The 36mm probably will fit but I would like to look at the mounting surface of each, and BE SURE the drive engages fully !!!
The early 1.5's had the shallow 4 qt oil pan as well.
Are you actually turboing a 1.5 block??
I've been thinking of trying that, as I like the RPM of the 1.5, and most of mine have been more economical than 1.6 or 1.9. I really want a 75 MPG Scirocco or Rabbit, as I can't stand that a Honda insight gets better mileage. I felt a turboed 1.5 (driven very carefully) would be the best bet. (I could be wrong...) :oops:
Yes and no. Yes, I am putting a turbocharger on a 1.5 engine. No, I'm not doing it to a bone stock unmodified engine.
ARP studs (11mm), a slightly thicker head gasket (next notch size up, which also puts me in the range of gaskets I can
actually purchase easily), fresh bolts all over the place, and no boost enrichment device up top.
The lattermost will be remedied at some point, probably the same time I invest in getting a 1.5 pump rebuilt and Giles-tuned with economy and efficiency in mind instead of out-and-out performance.
The turbo's only a K03 anywho, I'm not foolish enough to start stuffing VNT17s or big Holset's onto this fragile little waif of a diesel.
