FS: 1.6TD rebuilt with ARP, etc. Solid center 4 puck clutch

[BustedBelt]

SOLD

I have a rebuilt 1.6TD motor with everything but the oil feed line.  The motor machine work was done professionally as well the motor assembly.  A well known race shop did the assembly with ARP head studs, rod bolts, etc.  Motor has thickest headgasket to lower compression.  The head may have a 3-5 angle valve job, but I can't remember if that happened or not.  Currently the motor is attached via a Clutchmasters 4 puck solid center clutch to a 5 speed diesel trans that shift smoothly and works nicely.  

Motor has less than 10 miles on it since rebuild.  New rings have not even had a chance to seal.  Need to sell since I am moving to CA.

Points of note are the k14 turbo, earlier style intake manifold, early style pump bracket (and engine mount) and the non-turbo pump.   What's the engine code?  Enough doesn't jive to make me uninterested...

Andrew

Your uninterest have anything to do with the fact it looks like its over 20 years old?

[jtanguay]

lack of oil cooler too... i bet this motor was just turbo'd but is really supposed to be n/a

[burn_your_money]

ECO diesel?

[BustedBelt]

The pump was from an N/A Audi 4000 diesel.  The fuel can be cranked up using the max fueling screw as we all know, but I didn't when I scraped the project a few years ago.  My TD pump was not functioning properly, so I put this one on.  

The motor is a true TD with oil squirters, etc.  The K14 is not the original turbo.  The turbo that the motor had on it after it was built was a T3 hybrid with a Renault Fuego hot side and a Peugeot 505 cold side.  I had a stainless adapter that made it work.  That turbo and adapter are currently on a 2.0 petrol hill climb rabbit, well the old car that I had put this motor in, converted to gas.  It makes a ton of power.  

Again, I never had the fuel cranked up enough to spool either turbo = equals a younger me becoming discouraged/broke and finally giving up.

Someone asked for more story... so here it is...
The car was build in lieu of my 4 credit science class at UVM. I graduated because of it! Anyway, it was built for the Mount Washington Hill Climb. I negotiated a free entry, sponsorships from Kumho, VDO, Sparco, etc. The motor was built by Ralph's Foreign Auto in Burlington VT, now in Colchester. They are known for building very fast BMW CSL racecars and Alfa racecars and VW's etc. The motor work was done in return for sponsorship and shop sweeping etc.

Ultimately the motor wasn't done in time to go to the hillclimb, the car was put together in a month. So the car went to the hillclimb with NA power from my mom's old '81 diesel rabbit.

The turbo motor went in later that summer or maybe the next summer. The turbo motor wouldn't start with the TD pump, so I swapped that out for the NA pump, which wouldn't spool the turbo. At that point, the summer of 2001 or 2002, I wanted to put the car on the road and drive it, but it had no sunroof panel, and no windows, and no directionals.

I wanted to put money in, but my first job at a renewable energy company didn't just allow me to write a check, and my good friend who helped me build the car in the first place had moved back home to Redhook, NY.

I got the directionals and stuff working and wanted to put windows in, but was always frustrated that the car didn't make boost. IF I ONLY KNEW WHAT I KNOW NOW!!! My 1.9 ECO diesel that I just sold was pretty fast with the pump cranked up.

The car then lived at my parents house until a few years ago when my buddy bought the shell with the cage in it for his hillclimb car, traded me a stock turbo for my big t3 hybrid, and pulled the motor for me. Since then the motor has lived in my barn. Waiting for another car to put it in. My Audi 90 20VT project, my BMW 325e that I've had for 10 years, and my normal life outside of cars keep me pretty busy. It is time to cut the fat.
Here is a pic of the car just before Mount Washington.  http://picasaweb.google.com/knockonlockwood/RabbitWheels/photo#5052030222889455858

I don't see an oil line going to the turbo.
 so it has some good and bad...
 Hard to figure out what it's worth.
 Any idea what you want for it?
 And what is the block code?

[jimfoo]

I see the return off the turbo. It's rusty and blends in well. The incoming oil probably isn't visible from that angle.

I have a rebuilt 1.6TD motor with everything but the oil feed line.  

Probably why you aren't seeing it

Alright I just put my knee in some 90W, but I've got engine codes and such.  The block has a 16D stamped into it and I think that a TD block would have a TD stamped into it.  However, I remember when it was being rebuilt there was something to do with the rod pins(?) that connect the rods to the pistons.  The shop asked if I had another block or parts and I said that this had to be the one we used because of turbo internals.  So, I am guessing all of the guts are TD.  Justin Carven from Greasecar where the motor came from also sold it to me as a TD and wouldn't let me forget that he gave me a TD for a good deal.  I ended up having the rod pins made custom from some motor company, they came in a box wrapped in paper and oil.  
Head: 068 103 373N
Pump: 460 494 072
Turbo: 028 145 703E

I just found receipts yesterday while packing...in fact all the receipts for the car.

12MM Raceware HSK I am assuming those are the head studs.  Rings, Mains, Rod Bearings, timing belt etc. gasket kit, thermostat, head set, rear main seal, cam seals...

I can't believe I still have all these receipts.

Hmmm... That Audi pump was from a 1.5 NA.  Since the car wasn't registered or insured I was never getting out of 2nd gear in my parents driveway.  Maybe there wasn't enough load or time on throttle.  I wish I had could say more, but I was pretty green back then and was luck that I even got the car to start!  

If it was now, I'd have the car tuned right, and I'd still have it.  Maybe the turbo was spooled, my boost gauge never showed more than 3-4 psi.  I guess I was comparing it to my Audi 5000 at the time with 15psi, that came on like a freight train.  You'd plant your foot, wait, and hit 2500 rpm and get whacked in the back.  I think I was expecting something like that, but I suppose with less than adequate fueling, boost pressure of less than 5 psi and no enrichment, I don't think you'd feel it.  I always thought that without really working it sure was quick in a striped rabbit.  It would spin the race tires when starting out.  Hmmm....

By the way, I do want to thank all of you guys for asking the questions and kind of helping me to realize where I went wrong with this project.  I just didn't know.  Now it is interesting to realize what preventing me from having the car match the one in my dreams at the time.  

I really had visions of grandeur, and a propane injection system that I never installed.

The engine code plate reads CY and then 11.
