Title: TDI-M to Toyota in Suzuki Samurai (sort of)
Post by: deepmud on March 27, 2007, 12:36:59 pm
I've had other threads with this rig....somewhere. :D

TDI-M from Petr in CZ, ACME Adapters kit to bolt it to Toyota W-56 - from there it gets weird :D custom suspension, giant tires....not really a VW guy sort of thing maybe but if you have time to kill:

Nice! So you get the engine running good now? I haven't been working on mine much, as my other car bit the dust, so I am working on an engine swap to get it back on the road. :evil:

When he drives by, babies cry, and women whisper to one another "Dear God, what is that thing?"

yah, it runs - starts fine at 20F with no glowplugs even - but the pump isn't reacting like I think it should yet - Petr is supposed to swap me out but this hasn't happened yet. It will at least go of road. My seat of pants dyno says this may be about 80-90 hp now, with no smoke - but I'm in low range on 250 pound tire/wheel combos so who knows exactly? I know I expect SOME smoke for power and it's not there yet,  so I will continue to work at it.

It is a good rig for "wooded property" - I like having a junkhauling/wood cutting/moose-meat getting machine again :D

There's a Toyota conversion going on over in Zuwharrie http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/ - looks good. I think the 1.9TDI has plenty of power for a Toyota - a Cummins would have MORE but it's a pretty rattly diesel, and at 600 pounds or so it's not a small motor.
