pros and cons 1.6td vs 1.9aaz vs tdi.

Clutch depends on the transmission used, and injectors depend on power level wanted, turbo used, and what you desire from the engine. Also a tune should be considered for injectors.

What if I just run oem stuff and don't beat on it?

Not sure about injectors being an IDI guy, but 02a can run a Sachs G60 kit.  21lb flywheel, with a clutch and PP setup that is advertized as being able to withstand 300 ft/lbs of torque.  If aiming for more, a SBC stage 2 endurance clutch kit would be a good choice.  Pricey, but the lining on the FW and PP help control high temperatures and prolong clutch life.  IDparts has a special on the Sachs unit right now: http://idparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=764

I have not seen anything indefinite either way but I think idi that injectors do not make much difference because fuel mixing is already very good due to the swirl chambers I think there might be gains for us with different or modded swirl chambers the gm guys experiment with this.  And one our forum members will be soon too!

holy smokes 400 bucks for a clutch.  . I just wanna get good milage and have car that wont breakdown.

passat = 02a for ease... sadly 02a clutch = big $ vs 020... even in stock parts...

[8v-of-fury]

Well it is still some work to fit an 020 to a B3 as I am sure i have read recently. I get 50mpg out of my AHU 84, consistently.

[bbob203]

-2000 in donor car
-800 in receiver car
-1000 for mtdi pump
-400 clutch and flywheel
-250 for 02a clutch cable swap
-??? injectors (idea of price on these)?
+600 for e-tdi stuff
+scrap money and part out money
-several hundred in exhaust and other random sh*T

So i got 4grand into this build by this list

Veg Injection nozzles, I got my .216's for $120CAD shipped.

What is the deal with stuff I've read about pre chambers falling out of idi's and ruining the engine. how likely is it to actually happen?

[theman53]

seeing that there are probably millions of vw IDI diesels and we only know of mabye a few handfuls, it isn't likely. But the older these engines get and the more power pumped to them the more likely it will become I think. Mine ruined basically everything but the crank, IM shaft, 3 rods, cam, and the valves not in #3 cylinder. Everything else was completely wasted, so if it does happen it is a bad day. 

[RabbitJockey]

i think especially in stock form it is very uncommon

[bbob203]

the aaz i can get is looking like a better option. lower miles and such. in canada though so im not sure about importing a car.

Where is a good place to buy a mTDI injection pump? I know Giles will build me on but I have to send him two pumps - a 1.6TD and a Rover mTDI pump. He does great work but I am just wondering who else or what else might I consider for a Mk1 conversion use?

[vanbcguy]

Rover pump is the easiest way to go in my opinion. Bolts up with a small amount of machine work and seems to run quite well even with plain stock settings.
