Title: Where can I find a 1.6TD
Post by: silvertdi on September 27, 2007, 10:36:16 pm

I've read that Canada is the place to find them.  Does anyone have a line on a junkyard that has some for sale?  What is the price of one?  Thanks.

Thanks.  You guys are a great help.  I don't need it right away.  My NA 1.6 runs good, but I want more power.  I also need a winter project.  I'm gonna start shopping around for a complete engine.  Turb, manifolds, IP, and all.  Milwaukee isn't far at all.  When would you be looking to sell it?  I'll also see about shooting Tyler a message.  It's a 26 year old car and my daily driver, so I'm not looking to dump too much money into it.  :)

well I'm waiting for some parts from Tyler (burn you money) as we speak to complete a 1.6TD that i have sitting in the garage! I would not recomend using any part of a N/A to convert it over to a turbo motor the n/a cannot take the heat that the turbo produces! all materials used in a TD is special for it's purpose! there is alot of discussion in this forum on that topic if you do some searching ! it has been controversial topic! thier not cheap pretty expensive down here in the states! there is a high demand for them! so make sure you have a decent car to put the motor in! because once you go turbo you will never want to go back to N/A it's addicting!!! unless you own a caddy  or syncro vanagon a TD engine will be worth more than your car!
 thanks Duane

It'd be going into an '81 rabbit with 97,000 original miles.  Very good shape.  I plan on having it resprayed to make it look as good as it will eventually go.  :D

I personally believe that the NA engine is capable of maintaining stock boost levels with slightly less then stock fueling with a good IC and oil cooler.

BTW don't bother contacting me unless you want to pick up the engine. I'm in school now so I don't have the time or space to organize shipping an engine. plus you'd be looking at well over $400 just for shipping

Well, it's good to know you can get them.  I'm still wanting to go to London, ON to visit a friend and pick one up.  I'll let you know when I plan to do that.
