b3 passat wagon 16v to MTDI swap *Glow plug wiring time*

[8v-of-fury]

Did you go with the one I linked?

[CRSMP5]

whats sad is ill have to buy same kit... when we build bbobs.. its the proto for how ive wanted to do mine for years..

[8v-of-fury]

It looks super quality. I am however hugely considering an AWIC setup

[CRSMP5]

if it same as my toaster.. pics look like it.. it is quality.. paid 75 for mine though.. but no boost pipes/couplers.. easy 75 in that alone.. unless your a lucky one and go tin on the autozone employee revenge of $1000s lost in pipe sale..

theman missed it by seconds... he was going to build shelves.. $75 before system crash.. thinking $27k next am.. LOL..

Nice!

Build-log w/ pix in the works?

[CRSMP5]

aw a phonedial...

build.. hmmm not many pics.. just a libby pump tdi-m... my fmic set up i built.. no real pics of that... 1st real aluminum welding ive done with the tig.. tons of practice to that point though.. the whole piping set up is just so perfect like vw planned it..

i not driven yet.. went for pass ride when the antifreeze leak was going... stupid vw spring clamps.. if you think upper hose fun.. lower hose is more so..

serp belt.. b3 rad.. b4 tdi rad better choise and when and if he ever needs one needs to get one of them.. the lower rad hose is tight fit..

Shoot. Was hoping for a how-to and watch-out-for.

I have a 1.6TD and an 02A waiting to go into a 93 auto, when I get the time.

Any war-stories of the bbob build would be good to hear.

its quite honestly straight forward swap. I may come thru toledo at some point and you can check it. Biggest thing is custom radiator hoses. have to figure out something with glowplugs. i also reccomend using 02j shifter assembly very easy to make work. Allso use a tdi clutch disc and vr6 pressure plate. wiring is easy really had to remove maybe 5-6 wire out of the main engine harnesses. Only issue we are having now is the tach not working.... we have it all hooked up right supposedly but no tach reading... im using an aaz b3 cluster.

^^that post from me not crs

10-4, thanks gents.

[CRSMP5]

he had picked my brain as in 02 and in 06 i put 1.6td with 020 in passats... i took the stuff from the one i built in 02 and put in wagon in 06..
so yes knowledge.. lots of it... his on 02j shift tower is reason why i cannot see me ever doing one.. but it does not feel bad... just the fiasco it was..

 

[CRSMP5]

l gotta drive today..

comparing to...

1.6td w/020 passat b3 wagon.. stock 83 td turbo, no ic no pump mods.. but one of the few "stock" runs great ones

97 tdi-e b4 5 speed sedan..

my toaster, tdi-m w rover pump, stock little turbo.. same fmic, 2.5" straight pipe.. some unknown upgrade nozzles


rember.. pump stock settings set to 1.20 made by libby.. stock 1z injectors.. so on.. he has a "upgraded turbo listed in this thresd..

midrange im not "impressed with.. seems to peeter out.. which means no big rpm either.. fueling/injectors and timming need to be played with still.. so ill see how bbob gets it dialed in and go for another ride in a few mo.. give him time to dial it in.. and see how it is..

as far as vs other m pumps vids sounds so on.. rover and libby pumps are quiet.. no loud clanks or anything at this time on either.. same sound as most tdi-e IMO.. next week he drives home.. id have taken today.. but he has to be somewhere and breaking new build on way home bad idea..

[bbob203]

Getting in my jetta and driving home was painful compared to tdi passat. 
I think once I turn up fue,l up the timing and bigger injectors I will be pulling good power.
