Trust me, I know what your gonna say.. Search is your friend. Yes your right, I am one to search because I know that many have done this before me.
However! all the search items that come up are not as conclusive as I would like them to be. Not only that but they deal with other hardware, mixed opinions, false information, and on some just a complete lack of common sense and any sort of reputable knowledge.
So what I would like this thread to be useful for is helping me figure out exactly what I need to do with the parts I have (if possible), or parts I need to get to make it happen.
THE SCENARIOI have at my disposal an entire 1998 AHU TDI. I have all the electronics necessary to run the motor out of car, as I have had it running on the stand. I was going to do a full on electronic swap but have found I would much rather build an m-tdi for simplicity sake. I want to take this motor and put it in my 1984 Jetta. I will be putting a 210mm clutch on the motor so it will work with my existing 020 5 speed. Thus making my axles, and spindles usable. Yes I know the 020's are far inferior to that of 02A/02J which is currently mounted to my AHU (may still be swapped in one day
).. but it will be the easiest route to take right now. I am not hard on my vehicles so I feel the old transmission will hold up just fine. There have been some high horsepower 1.8t and 2.0t engines with torque surpassing that of the 150ft.lbs of the AHU.. so I have faith.
THE PARTSI have 1.6 na pumps, a 1.6 td pump, associated mounts, all you can think of to make this swap happen. Its not the swap itself that i need help with just the m-tdi pump part.
I have the entire tdi pump, a 1.6 TD pump that I want to combine to make the m-tdi pump. Doable?
THE IDEAHere is a question I have not seen asked in my travels, why can I not just add the 1.6 TD pump top, governor assembly, and throttle shaft to the TDI pump?
What is involved in the using of the 1.6 TD pump body and pump mainshaft, with the DI specific cam plate, plunger, and head? Is it a direct swap in deal? or is there things that need modified to make it all fit together? I would prefer the easiest route here on how I can make this M-tdi pump work for me. I feel it will be most easily achieved through a 1.6 17mm mainshaft with the tdi bits installed. Also if I use the 1.6 pump that way I can mount it to the engine using the original 1.6 engine mounts eh? The part that mounts to the front of the block and the motor/pump integral piece.. atleast in my head that works.
I WOULD LOVE YOUR INPUT ASAP PLEASE AND THANK-YOU!
