Im still some what new to IDI diesel engines and I bought a 83' vw rabbit GTI that im gonna restore from the ground up and with that being said im wanting to build a 1.6TD bottom end with a 1.9TD (AAZ) head and a VNT 17/22 hybrid turbo and am wanting to know what is the best injection pump for this set up I know im wanting Giles to build my pump. which nozzles should I use? I know that the stock 1.6TD can flow a lot of fuel.
Here's some pictures of my car and right now everything is stripped out of it and i am taking the sound deadening out of the car so I can fix the floor pans sandblast it do the body work, primer it then paint it well here the pics for now tell me what you think!!

P.S ive already fixed that taillight!!
-
hey guys some feed back would be nice !! thanx ???
-
usually no feedback means you are on the right track ;)
-
This sounds like a cool build, I'll be watching it. Funny, it looks like the bimmer's drifting in that last pic. Giles will make a great pump & also answer performance questions on the phone. I think you're gonna need a diesel fuel filler neck to allow diesel pumps to fill your tank. I have thought of upgrading my 1.6td to an aaz head someday, too. Good luck!
-
to: R.O.R-2.0 thanx for the comment i was beginning to wonder cause i already have 55 views and nobody even commented on it, and on VWVORTEX all i got was a bunch of crap about putting a diesel engine in a GTI!
to: PUNKVIDEO81 thanx man and yeah i didnt realize it until after i took the pic that it looked like that lol, and yeah from what i have read Giles makes the best injection pump from what i can gather on the internet and all the positive feedback he gets! oh and also im building a brand new engine mainly from PartsPlaceInc.com
heres an update from today didn't do too much just trying to get all of the sound deadening out of the car i also have to take the brake booster off so i can get the wiring harness the rest of the way out well here's a pic of my girlfriend helping take out the sound deadening ;D

I like the look of mk1 GTI's, cool project to do.
Giles will be the best one to answer your nozzle questions, but stock nozzles can go to around 200 horses. And only $10-15 each.
I don't know much about specifics on the GTI, did they come factory with that kind of dashboard ? It looks like mk1 Jetta dash.
Much nicer than Rabbit/Truck dash.
Will it be Black or Red or something else when you paint it ?
Your girlfriend is really cute too.
Great that she helps you out like that.
Good luck to you both on the build.

I am thrilled to see someone extend the life of an old GTI. I always wanted one of the GTI's from this vintage, but, it was the model of VW that I could never locate and get my grubby paws on. I always thought that dieseling one would be super fine. Best of luck on locating all the parts you will need to keep it looking like a GTI rabbit!
-
To Baron Zeppelin: cool me too and im actually doing the circle headlight conversion to it too! yeah o know but i really wanna see how much this little engine has in it u know as this isn't my daily driver it is lol the guy that had it before me was putting a 2.0l ABA in it and it was already wired for it too but i want a diesel so yea!the guy that had it was gonna paint it red and i think im gonna try to keep the outside looking like a GTI just with a few suttle upgrades u know like im wanting to make a custom badge to go on the back prolly goin with a different dash not sure yet! and thanx man she was a little reluctant to do it at first but this morning she said she wanted to be a part of it so there we went lol!
To Dakotakid: just keep searching for them man another one just popped up on my craigslist its a body for like $250 bucks lol and thanx im gonna need it lol all one the junkyards in my area have all crushed them!! :'(so saying that most of my parts will be probably be new!
-
If you are willing to buy used front end parts for the round light conversion, you can find what you need on the vortex under cabriolet parts or golf 1/Jetta 1 parts. I just did.
-
yeah true i already have the front core support and badgeless grill all i really need is the headlights and the bumper but thanx for the suggestion.
And on another note i think im gonna try to trade my E30 bmw for a 83' 4 door rabbit thats in good condition i think im gonna try to trade straight up!
-
you didn't mention fenders - do you have round headlight fenders yet?
-
no not yet i dont but i know a vw guy here i can get them for free lol ;)
-
A 1.9 diesel Rabbit is my dream car. One day it will be built. One day.
-
If some people over here would see you putting a diesel in a gti they would probably kill you for that.
Did you guys know a gti in this condition is worth between 2-3000 (3-4000 CAD) over here,if in compelete condition and little rust you would get 7 grand EASY (like sold in a week) !!!
But i like your plans,a wild modded diesel will be a lot more fun and more powerfull then the gti engine
-
To RalleyDiesel:yeah true down the road i wanna build a TDI but hopefully one day u can build one!
To Arnold really were do you live at lol and thanks i cant wait to build it!! ;D
-
For the filler neck you can just remove the restrictor. If I remember right I just took the neck off and used a prybar to collapse the restrict enough to get it out.
Sounds like a sweet swap! I put a 1.6td in my 83 gti a couple years ago, I have yet to catch much heat for "ruining" a rare car tho.
-
Oh cool thanx for the tip and idk about rare where I live there for sale all the time lol
-
Yeah me either but some seem to think mine is since it's a non sunroof black ac car with a blue interior. Most everyone that sees it thinks the swap was an improvement.
What are your plans for fuel delivery? Or have you not gotten that far?
-
I saw your thread on the Tex, and I thought about weighing in, but I just give up with all the hating going on over there ::).
Aren't you from GA? If yes then it is nice to see another diesel MKI in the southeast.
I'm all for swapping diesels into GTI's, GLI's, Sciroccos and Corrados. Nothing is too sacred for an oil burner so keep up the good work and keep posting pictures.
cheers
-
ClarkrepI have got that far yet lol maybe soon stil on the drawing board!!
Jack's Lackyeah i really don't like the TEX too much and yeah im in north Ga above ATL where are you located?and me too i think its cool and it must be since VW started putting the TDI into the new GLI's and saying it's a special edition lol!!! ;D
Oh yeah here is my new Daily Driver too bad its is a gasser!!

-
cool, so you traded the bimmer? more pics! diggin' the rusty looking hood
-
To TheMan53: yeah me too man
To DakotaKid: not sure what your talkin about bro!
To Punkvideo81: ill take some more and put them up man its pretty cool i like it!!Its a 4 door with GTI seats, GTI rims, GTI grill without the badge, rusted hood, brand new dash no cracks, coilovers, poly bushings, eurosport rear upper strut and idk what else the guy was gonna make it a track car the paint and hood was done not too long ago.the only thing i found that is wrong with it is that the shifter needs to be rebuilt!!!
-
I always loved the no bumper look on bunnies
man, not me, i think they look like crap with no bumpers.. and when you get in a wreck, there is ZERO protection.. i will take the protection over looks any day.. theres some sh!**y drivers around here..
-
To R.O.R.-2.0: i know what you mean about no bumpers and if i do put some on i would put euro bumpers on it but i actual kinda like no bumper it looks a lot smoother!
forgot to take pics today but will take more tommorrow!! ;)
-
more pics of the new daily driver!!!!! ;D

I like everything! The red nut caps really seem to compliment the snowflakes for some reason.
-
Thanx bro and I kno kinda weird not sure how much I like the caps but I wanna polish the snowflakes
-

-
Looks good, keep it up.
-

-
