• hi all, this engine is for sale locally http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/1433965668.html
  
  i wanted to know what it would take to go TD with it. i have a exhaust manifold, turbo, intercooler, and oil cooler. what else do i need other than injectors and pump?
• #1 by Rabbit on Roids on 24 Oct, 2009 07:39
• an intake, oil lines.
  
  oil cooler isnt even that important.
• #2 by nickzom on 24 Oct, 2009 09:03
• i have a intake off of a gas motor, too. still have the lines for the turbo

• then what are you waiting for? get that stuff put on there and running with the n/a pump and injectors. i had a n/a pump and injectors on my rabbit for a long time before i actually swapped in my rebuilt TD pump.

  well, i dont have the engine yet, and my Jetta is still gas, so......
  
  
  the turbo and manifold i have is a K26 from a Audi 5000, is that too big?

• would this be a good choice for a turbo? http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT20/GT2056_751578_2.htm

• last question for now, do i really need a Diesel sending unit?
• #7 by Rabbit on Roids on 27 Oct, 2009 09:01
• for the fuel tank? i would highly doubt it. you will need to take the restrictor out of the fill neck tho.
  
  and yea, the 2056 is a good unit. theres a few people on here running them i think.
• #8 by nickzom on 27 Oct, 2009 10:19
• if i use the gas sending unit, do i need another fuel pump in conjunction with it, or will the in-tank pump do the job?
• #9 by rabbitman on 27 Oct, 2009 15:37
• These diesel's don't even have an in tank fuel pump, the lift pump is built into the injector pump.

• You could run the k26 but it will spool very late. If you're got a gasser trans then you will pretty much redline by the time the k26 starts spooling. I don't know much about the 2056 but it's got a t25 flange so you will need to fab a custom one or get a t3 manifold and an ebay t3/t25 adapter. I'm not sure, but I can't see the Audi manifold fitting the VW head.

• here is a Audi manifold with a runner cut off, bolts right up http://media.photobucket.com/image/audi%205000%20exhaust%20manifold/pholness927/DSCF2477.jpg
  
  
  as for a trans it is a diesel trans.

  gas sending unit has a pump though. i am doing a gas to diesel conversion.

• You don't need a intank pump, maybe just disable it.

  so i can disable the intank pump, and the engine will still run?
