M-TDI ALH into a MK2 swap
fatmobile:
I did have a rod on it earlier.
But it wasn't hooked to anything.
Just a foot long piece of allthread.
I thought the weight of it would hold the lever down, vanes closed.
I'll make sure it's held firmly in place and try again.
It should over boost easily, like the rabbit.
I have a controller built for it but haven't mounted it or the rods.
Thanks for including the temp sensor info in this topic.
It won't help me with this engine but I'm trying to get all the info in one thread
For others thinking about an ALH MTDI build.
It's also nice to be able to look back on my old threads to see how much I forgot, he he.
fatmobile:
It's running great.
First refill at 1/4 tank and it got 46 MPG.
That's with some beating on it,
lots of in town driving
and chasing down an air in the fuel problem that required lots of idling.
I used a 12mm pump from Andrew so it's a little clackity.
Some white smoke when taking off so I might advance the timing.
fatmobile:
Got around to hooking an 02A trany to it.
Shifter and cables along with shift tower and linkage swapped from a later MK4.
Peddle cluster from a Corrado, with the pin-mount for the clutch.
So the clutch master had to be for a Corrado and mounts with the pin.
Engine bay, bracket for the brake booster, with built-in clutch master cylinder bracket,
came from a B4 passat.
I had heard that the K-frame or rear crossmember had to be swapped to the MK3 one.
The difference between the rear engine/trany mounting points, on a MK3 and MK2 frame, isn't the trany mount.
is the passenger side mount and it's welded to the K-frame.
Easier to swap crossmembers, than to cut both off and weld it onto the MK2 frame.
Because I made a custom rear motor mount to clear the VNT and bolt to the MK2 mount,
I could just keep the MK2 rear crossmember.
The front crossmember doesn't sit at the same angle as the MK3 front motor mount.
I heard the B3 Passat front crossmember is the cure.
It running good.
Still too much fuel for this turbo so I can't really floor it, got to watch the gauges.
Getting some more parts together now.
An intercooler and better flowing intake from a BRM TDI to install.
AAAnd some more body work to do.
