• Seeing as I haven't posted anything on here about my build I figured I'd give a few teaser pics
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Fully rebuilt 1.9TD with a T3, custom intake made by a buddy, Giles fuel pump with calibrated injectors.  Gonna get the passenger performance DP ceramic coated this time.   Also going to be running an AWIC, 25psi after break in.  And all stuffed in a 1992 Jetta Coupe, should be fun

•   Wow, nice engine! Your friend planning on making any more intakes?
  
  Jetta's gonna scoot!

  Techtonics used it as a mock-up thou...

  when I go back to school and I have to have a "projects" I may knock out a few, but that won't be until feb 2010. I really don't like to bring work home.

• too bad he didnt actually take the time to make it a dual plenum intake... with the tapered slit in the top plenum, would have been tits.

• newb question...what is that exhaust manifold off of?  I think that it would be ideal for the Toyota swap I am planning...clearance with the starter and a low-hanging turbo is a problem, and that definitely wouldn't interfere...standard T3 flange I assume?
  
  Thanks

  correct me if i'm wrong here...but IO think thats a regular Turbo diesel VW manifold...with a T3...but it's the VW T3??(non standard?)

• I'm used to two different types...a "normal" one that has the bolt holes in a rectangle, and the turbo dodge one that has one bolt out a bit further than "normal"...I've seen triangular flanges and trapezoidal ones on this site, although it is likely that the KKK turbos might use those...as for the manifold, the reason I inquire is that if it's a stock one that is simply flipped, then that might make my life easier when I go to put the motor into my Toyota truck, as the starter and the turbo are very cosy with the turbo hanging down. 
  
  Thanks

• Upon looking at the TDI swap threads on tdiclub again, I realize that the IDI mainfolds generally carry the turbo like my 90 caravan and 87 daytona, and the TDI ones seem to hang it...my apologies.

• Holy crap forgot about this thread here. To answer a few of those orientation and parts questions before (im sure they have been answered but what the hey).  Turbo is a stock vw Garrett T3 on a stock exhaust manifold. The flange on the turbo is a trapezoidal shape, not a regular rectangle like most garrett manifolds. As for the intake I would like to get a PD150 intake down the road because those look amazing. 
  
  Now for a few more pictures, progress has been slow now because the car is sitting in a tent, and well its winter.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  will have it running come spring time
