AHF mechanical TDi injection pump conversion

[aidan]

earlier tdi AHU or AFN, big vnt with pressure actuator or big wg turbo, land rover pump, big injectors.

AAZ, same turbo as above, gtd/merc injectors, modified pump 10/11mm.

SB 1.6 with AAZ 1.9 head, with above parts. Less lower end torque but revs higher and can use standard rallye gearing then

I still can't understand why you are going to dump a 200+bhp all day long engine for (comparatively) much less powerful, inefficient and unreliable engines..

a 1.6 might get to 200bhp... once and you will need a pump genius for that
a 1.9: the same, but a bit easier

if you really want it to be a diesel, and has to be mechanical, you need a pump genius to make one for you.


or.. just make a good remap and use all the hardware you already got.
your ecu probably doesn't even have to be opened!

Well there are other reasons too as im planning to move abroad and it would be easier to sell the engine and start again than transport it with me (i already have a van full of car parts to take with me lol) plus i dont really need the engine yet as the one fitted is still going strong. but we will see if i get any bids if not i may consider breaking the engine to try and get some money back. i was interested to see if i could modify the injector to suit my needs as i have so much money invested in the engine and not sure i will get much back

Cheers

going to sunnier place like Portugal? 

I am very interested in your rear axle setup, how did you use the mk3 one?

[garooothos]

Not far away! Spain and Gibraltar! My mum has property in both places so im going live a more laid back life there!

The axle looks like it just bolts on im not sure as it wasn't me who fitted it i assume you have seen the build thread then? if not here it is: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=116378&highlight=my+ahf+project

My ideal job would be to work in or own a scrap yard!  but looks like i will start my own House maintenece business working for expats etc

[aidan]

Well if you do break the engine let me know, would be interested in those injectors.

I fitted the Mk3 axle to mine, bolts right on.

I'm getting the measuring tape right away then!

a pic of my car with the Mk3 GTi axle + 25mm spacers on each side with mk4 golf steel wheels!



I'll get a pic from the back, it looks mean!!

Nice van, I 'won' one of them on ebay recently but couldn't contact the seller. got a mk3 van now with a 1Z does the job

[ryanp]

they are supposed to be rare but i know of three in the same town as me! some people in the scene have never seen them! what was the van like which you had? I'm going to start a build thread soon! need some motivation back!

[garooothos]

ok stripping the engine now some parts are on ebay if anyone is interested

cheers
