we are swapping a 1.9 AAZ into a T4 cargo van, ordered some parts from europe to make it bolt up properly and over all should be a pretty fun and not to complicated swap, I hope to have pictures for posted soon i will make a thread of some of the progress
just thinking of turbo options, as for injection pump we will be running stock for now with some adjustments and maybe a Giles super pump in the future. we have a few turbos laying around to choose from, the donor car came fitted with the K03 which i figure is not the best choice for this vehicle, also we have a K14, T3, and i dont figure this is much good but we also have a GT-15 from a 1Z TDI!
just interested in hearing some feedback on what might be a good choice to start with on this build
thanks alot
I would go for the k14. The gt-15 is basically the same as the k03 and the t3 would be too laggy. If you were to buy a turbo for it I would think about using a vnt turbo. A gt 1749va from a b5 passat would be ideal for a heavier vehicle. Have you thought about running an intercooler on it? Do you have a list of the parts you ordered from Europe? I might be doing a similar project soon using an AHU in a Eurovan.
Which k14 do you have? If it is from an ECO diesel 1.6 I would go with nothing that you have. If you can make a 2.5" downpipe and rebuild the T3 with a 360 bearing I would use that. Otherwise I would get a 200wg holeset or Mitsubishi that is similar sized T16 or T18 IIRC. Especially if you are going to get a beefier pump in the future.
