The Rebirth of Smokey Eddy - The 1.9 Saga

[8v-of-fury]

Weight increase between the two engines shouldn't be that much more.. Can't be more then 75lbs.. It may handle a little heavier upfront with that much extra though.

1.9 > 1.6.

^^ Mathematical proof

I'm pretty interested to see the findings!

no fluids in a 1.9 comes in at 256 lbs according to a shipping company http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=190201

That must be a complete engine though. or at LEAST tall block...
the block of the 1.9 is very marginally taller... it can't be much more

[Smokey Eddy]

i wish SO badly that i could have dyno'd the 1.9/1.6...
Im sure it was a much faster car than my heavier 2-dr 2000 TDI ALH golf.

On the scales all packed up a 1.9 block with all the guts weighs right around 160 lbs.

As I recall last time I had a 1.6 block all packed up it was 150 pounds.

what in the hole?

what happened to this thing?

I think i understand what you're saying.

One of the connecting rods came free of the crank and the rod was pushed through the side of the cylinder block.

yeah so +10 pounds which isn't a lot. that's all probably piston head & counter weight too.

sorry, i was feeling a bit punny earlier.

i can't imagine the noises this kind of thing would make whilst happening.

look forward to your progress!

[Smokey Eddy]

It was surprisingly quiet. most of the noise was the bits hitting the underneath of the car. the engine still idled fine on 3 cylinders but this was all already in a thread that has come and gone.

[Smokey Eddy]

These things are supposed to handle an unreal amount of torque...


My Magnetic sensor. Hopefully this will drive the tach i have. (special Thanks to RadoTD)

My Clutch came with one of these and so did my transmission rebuild package (special thanks to VinceWaldon)



My second grouping of parts. This time more transmission related.
Except for the timing belt, tensioner, magnet sensor & water pump with T-stat.
It's an 80C t-stat because i've heard of over heating issues with the aaz. I also anticipate this summer to be a scorcher along with at least 1 trip through the rockies. I have a winter 87C t-stat and now a summer 80C t-stat.

Eddy quit flashing your clutch.    Is it wrong to say I had it in my hands?

[Smokey Eddy]

Isn't it sexy. It's surprisingly small. i was shocked at how tiny it actually is. It's about the size of a dinner plate.

yea, but it is well made, and IMO worth the wait
