To me it looks like it will hit here
too bad you didn't use a block that had a crank with pullys and intermediate shaft so you can dry fit the timming belt and even do more with the serpintine to see how that would work? i'm curious to see the tensioner that you are using ? that jetta you got are you gonna try the G60 on that car? are you gonna post more pics. of your progress with it ? thanks Duane
Wow! Looking good Is the G60 still in the same place it normally is? It looks like it is, but just checking :wink: Mikki x
Great work!I'm onto a quite similar engine build,.. Putting a G40 charger on a 1.4 non-turbo diesel.Wondering who will run it first: I'm putting my dollars on you! Haven't updated the topic recently, but here's a link anyway:http://www.volksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22161&page=1&pp=40I've had my G40 charger rebuild, and I've got about 80% of the hosing and tubing laying around now,.. but I have to ' adjust ' some panelwork, to fit the IC and tubing/hosing: Since the Polo Diesel engine isn't turbo charged, and a turbo-version of this small 1.4 diesel wasn't ever produced I need to borrow a lot of stuff from the non so common Polo 2 GT G40 (very rare: A Golf Rallye is a mass-produced compared to a Polo 2 GT G40) Anyway: Keep us posted!

With the mods it should be capable of doing a cold start on 100% vegetable oil.. in mid winter (and with the electric pre-heater, heat-exchanger, huge fuellines and isolation it'll be sweden capable )

Quote from: "jtanguay"Quoteveggie-powerum... i would only imagine what the congealed veg would do inside the motor... :shock:I know: I've seen sponges created in the oilpan due to polymerisation..But it's a IDI engine, thus I do not expect to much problems,.. It's the Di engines that have the unburned veggie oil drapping down the pistons that causes the veggie + mineral oils to mix.. and i'm going to run ridiculous high injection pressures, so even at cold starts all veggie-oil should 'vaporate'The thing I'm worried about is the idle-pressure: There's no blow-off-boost-valve or bypass available: all air from the charger has to go into the engine: Will it idle? Will it run? Since there's no throttle-valves involved, I don't expect any big pressures to build up at idle, but still:Without a switchable pully or bypass: will it work?Other thing is : I do not have a pressure adjustable pump like the TD's normally do.. and since the diesel pump is rotating the otherway around to the 'normal' Golf diesels, I can't just change to a TD pump.. I remember the USA Eco diesels: the do not have a Pressure-enrichment thingy either do they?I'm thinking off enrichment 'all the way', since the charger will allways run, and thus will allways give an about equil amount of forced airflow at any revolution
