Maybe drive the old beater to Ohio, build the engine, swap it out and drive it home?

TDI - VE Pump TDI Engines / Re: TDI Swap on 020 Gearbox

« Last post by RabbitJockey on April 01, 2024, 08:00:30 am »

thats a good deal to have a running tdi. I'd want a taller final drive but i know sometimes its best to use what you have. Make sure your flywheel has the correct timing marks, sometimes aftermarket and gas flywheels dont have the correct tdc mark for a diesel.

TDI - VE Pump TDI Engines / Re: TDI Swap on 020 Gearbox

« Last post by chi1337 on March 31, 2024, 02:44:09 pm »

hi, thanks , yeah I suspected as much since a tuned AAZ will make more torque than a stock AHU. Just the RPM range is different.

I'm going to buy a 2nd hand Golf GTD gearbox (020, 3.941 final drive, only 30 bucks lol), then I can mount up everything, starter, etc etc, and test it at home on the engine stand, so it works perfect. I'll use a new 210mm pressureplate & flywheel.

Then swap out the old engine & gearbox out in 1 go. Will salvage the old 020 for spare =)

Shopping list:
- Wiring loom ($75 for electronic throttle, n75, injection pump connector, cranskahft connector, injection sensor connector, map sensor connector)
- $20 for 1.5mm2 wiring
- Gearbox $20
- Engine $100
- Alternator, starter, battery: $50
- 210mm flywheel & plate $66
- Timing belt stuff $35
- Other stuff $50

+- 500$ total (Im in Europe so price in euro)

TDI - VE Pump TDI Engines / Re: TDI Swap on 020 Gearbox

most people dont know what theyre talking about. An 020 can handle a slightly modified tdi just fine as long as you use a good clutch.

the thing is that spending the money on a good clutch is money that may be better spent on an 02a or 02j. It's up to you since it's your car. 020 will work, 02a/j is better no doubt. I bought a spare 020 and used the 020 with my swap it's easier and cheaper. worst case i have to swap in another 020 that paid $100 for.

TDI - VE Pump TDI Engines / TDI Swap on 020 Gearbox

« Last post by chi1337 on March 29, 2024, 09:22:38 am »

Looked around a lot, the opinion of people is that the 020 gearbox cannot handle all that torque.

For reference, the AAZ & 1.6TD uses the 020 gearbox, and produces 111 lbf⋅ft of torque. 1.6TD is nearly the same: 112 lbf⋅ft

The ALH/AHU generates 154 lbf ft if I look at this Malone chart:

https://www.cascadegerman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Malone-stage-I.png

However, the AAZ produces 150 lbf ft +- too, if it's tuned to 90 horses:

So nearly exactly the same as the ALH, however the torque is produced at higher rpm and for a longer time.

I was thinking, while running the electronic TDI, I can reduce fueling in the 2000-3000 rpm range, so that torque bulge /spike there doesn't happen [VAGEDCSuite supports this]. Yeah kind of defeats the purpose of a TDI, but more fuel efficiency & more modern platform
