Turbo Diesel in VA!!

[Jagerauto]

I'm going to pick up a complete motor. I'm not sure of its condition. I paying a pretty penny for it. I want the turbo setup off it. But I was going to pull the whole thing because I know someone wants it and I don't want to see it crushed.

My bad its a 1.6td

Going in the morning!

Get a hold of me if you want the long block. 757-541-7377

Update!

109k miles!!!

Turns over great!!

I have not tried to start it, missing a lot of parts when I pulled it. Transmission did not spin freely. This was in a quantum so it had the weird transmission.

I will do a compression test on the block. And a leak down test. But seeing as it has 109k.. I'm betting that is all good.

Thanks for the post jager. Unfortunately I don't have the funds.

If all is well with the long block.. $450

I'm still deciding on the turbo setup. It's a t3. The setup has me intrigued as to the turbo location and the direction of the intake boot. Could pose for a nice rain tray filter setup!

Oh weird, I don't recall ever seeing a 1.6TD with EGR before!!

It was an 85 quantum.

You never know...  I just pulled the head off a 1.6TD that had a documented 70,000 miles since new.  All four pre-cups were significantly cracked and the two middle cylinders both had cracks from the exhaust valve to the pre-chambers.  The bores were also worn beyond the wear limit.  $450 is a decent price for a 1.6TD longblock core, tho.

It's a mechanical lifter motor, not hydraulic.

They all crack between the valves. I just had a head rebuilt and it still has the cracks. Repairing them is a waste Of time.

Pre chambers are cracked because of leaky injectors. So yea that could happen on anything.

Between valves yes, but he said from valve to precup, HUGE difference. Repairing the between valve cracks isn't always a waste of time, but most times it is as the cracks are not into the realm of bad.

450.00 is a great price for a long block as he said. The turbo as a core and all the little pieces that go with the block add up to tons of money if they are not there, so I think 450 is great. Seems like unless you are in Canada there are not many 1.6 for sale anymore. Not like it used to be.

[Jagerauto]

Ah yea.. I was thinking in Between the valves.

Now $450 is for the long block no manifolds or turbo or pump.

I say $450 but that's with added haggle room, so bottom dollar $400.

Again I will do a compression test. I already have a regular flywheel and pressure plate on its way so I can bolt up an 020 and starter and crank this thing to see if it will run. Bucket of diesel and a hose in the head and see if it will run.

If not, I'll as an electric fuel pump. And I still nothing I will check timing. I doubt timing is off but you never know.

And if nothing works, compression test.

If compression is good then it's good to go an we'll put the blame on the pump or other reasons.

I'm going to use the T3 on my AAZ, and with this manifold it puts the turbo lower and the intake points right toward the rai tray so the air will come from the cooler rain tray. Making for a bigger turbo, in a more efficient place, and a more efficient place to put the air filter. Win,win, win haha

Not to mention the exhaust mani on this won't work on any 020 trans mk1/mk2.. Where the downpipe would bolt up the shift linkage would be in the way. But on my truck I'm running an 02j so I should be fine! I'm excited! Hah
