Title: Calling anyone who VW diesel'ed a Suzuki or Toyota
Post by: flash319 on January 24, 2007, 08:52:19 am: I am in the process of a VW install in a Toyota truck. I am looking to ask some questions to anyone else who has done a conversion like this. I need some info on some things.

Do a full kit for Zuki's and have adapter plates for the Toyota 22R tranny. Dunno what else they offer.

EDIT: I meant they do offer a full kit.

Post by: deepmud on January 25, 2007, 05:18:59 pm: search Suzuki and Diesel on yahoo groups too

but what do you want to know? I've sort of done both - a 1.9td to Samurai transmission and a 1.9TDI-M work-in-progress to a Toyota W56 in the same rig.

edit: I'll add this from zuwharrie, too - a toyota vw install.

Post by: LeeG on January 26, 2007, 08:57:14 am: Yup, thats the one I meant. Not sure about post above.

My point being that parts from one of these wont help you connect a VW manufactured engine to a toyota tranny.

Locally there is a flood of low mileage Japanese diesel trucks hitting our streets. Some combination of the Japanese inspection requirements and regulations about diesel is forcing them out of Japan. So I would expect the price of used Toyota diesel engines to drop significantly shortly.
