hey guys, been reading the forum like crazy lately. i know this is kind of a bad first post. but i didnt ask for this project.

i drive a 92 samurai with a VW 1.6 td that over heated bad on me and now that i have the over heating problem fixed i need help trying to fit the 1.9 td head on to my 1.6 solid block. i know that i can use the 1.9 steel head gasket, but not sure on how to go about plugin the extra oil jurnal hole. And what ever else was to happen to make this work out. any hints or tips i would love to here!

I read in a post some were that I need to modify the head gasket and plug some thong there to. and also the oil return on the side of the block needs a reducer? I haven't actually seen the 1.9 head yet. I'm sure I won't be so unsure about this when I see it all together...?

ok, I get it. and then there is no other modifications I need to do.? Like cam sprockets? diffrent intake/exaust manafolds? coolent outlets? are all the same as my 1.6 solid head?

Well, the 1.9 has bigger intake ports, so it would be to your benefit to find a 1Y intake or something like that. A cut down 5 cyl Audi manifold would offer some longer runners than the AAZ intake. Your stock intake should fit, but it would be nice to take full advantage of the bigger ports.

i dont like the the "words they should fit" and any one tell me for sure if my stock intake/exaust manifold will fit on the 1.9td?

Yes your 1.6 manifolds will fit the 1.9 head. But heres the real question, why are you wanting to use the 1.9 head so bad? Unless you are building a big power monster the 1.9 head isnt gonan do you much and it costs a lot. If you are dead set on using the 1.9 head use a 1.6TD manifold and turbo and use a PD130 or PD150 intake.

im not dead set on useing the 1.9 head, it is the head that i have avalible for the right price. and i am gonna use the 1.6td intake and exaust. 300$ for a complete head isnt bad? what else is it going to cost me?

sorry to pirate your thread, maybe we need a samurai diesel thread on here

there are a few

1.9td turned up a bit, was Suzuki transmission, now a Toyota W56

Not Mattracks, homebuilt w/snowmachine tracks. There are others.

I thought Canada was the land of 75$ 1.6td's?

300 is a steal if its in good shape. I would still get at least the stock 1.9 intake or upgrade to a pd130/150 intake, the 1.6 one really sucksb
