Still starts like a dream :D

you should see my rabbit start, i need a fresh picture of it lol, that thing starts faster than a gasoline engined car, i just understand why it shoots oil out, very little blow by, runs well, starts well, blah blah. oh well. more pictures you people
-
Well I've whored these pictures out plenty on this forum... so here goes again. '97 Jetta 1.9TD.

Old pic a few things have changed and the bay has been tidied since then

Wow did that ever confuse me at first.

Those oil holders and the tool box in the bay is awesome!
I am cheap so I just throw a couple quarts in the rain tray :lol:

Wow! That thing looks all business. Tell me about the intercooler and air inlet.
-
@larry104: its a watercooled intercooler (water to air IC), there should be a radiator in front of the car to cool the water wich go trough the intercooler.
Greetz, Benjamin

Yes the LDA top is from a 1.9. The boost pin and springs inside is far from stock. The pump was thoroughly rebuilt by Giles.
The air water intercooler is based on a stock TDI SMIC core.
The inlet (intake manifold, if that's what you're talking about), is from a European PD130 TDI that was imported in the Passenger Performance shop.
Cheers,
Mark

Thank you. Your air inlet disappears in the radiator support. Just wondering about that setup. Have you dyno'd the motor? 1/4 mile times?
-
Ohh sorry, air intake/inlet.. I should've figured that. It drops straight down before the passenger side headlight. The cone filter is behind the bumper. I had an air scoop next to the bumper turn signal to help direct air to the filter.

Sounds reasonable.

Looks like a lot of work but worth it. Nice setup.

Here's mine. Soon to be replaced by a 1.9 IDI or TDI (I'm undecided)

man i dream that my engine bay will look that clean, i gotta get a g60 valve cover, at least my DP is blingin hahha
-
Geez, after seeing some of these bays, especially stewardc's who lives not that far away from me, I'd be embarrassed to show mine off.

I posted mine in all her glory 8)

So you did. :lol:
Alright, I'll see if I can get one this weekend. With the snow yesterday, there should be some salt in there too.
My wife will think I'm crazy taking a picture of the engine bay. :wink:

Here's mine after the intercooler install...(sorry for the repost if others have seen the other thread)
(http://www.hostdub.com/albums/veeman_album17/finished_front_IC.jpg) (http://www.hostdub.com/veeman_album17:finished_front_IC)
Looks dirty in the pics. Digipics always seem to expose all the flaws / dirt / corrosion on stuff... I guess it's the flash that really lights up the details.
I'm going to clean things up and reroute some of the hoses / lines for a cleaner appearance here soon. I've got some other pics of "stock" TD engine bays as well if anyone wants to see them for reference. Kind of neat to see how VW did things from the factory.

Its an old picture, since then, pump was changed to TD, and I added boost gauge...
I hope, IC piping will be visible in near future :D

OK, So why do I get deleted?!
It's not a nice tidy engine bay as the swap was still in progress.
http://www.66rover.com/VW%20TD/VW%20TD.html
Since my shaft is so big, I had to work on the hole for a while, to fit the
bearing in. Some people might get a kick out of my procedure. I posted the
link instead of the pic since somebody deleted the pic and is too lame to tell
me why. It obviously isn't just a VW engine bay thread as there is a zook
in it. I do have a 1.9 IDI. Rant over....

Never be embarrased of your ride. Show it in all it's glory.

Ok, its not a VW, but the principles are the same!!! 1.9 IDI TD.

And, yes, all the ladies do comment on the length of my manifold!!! :lol:

Very interesting AAZ install project. I've never seen a Land Rover with a VW TD before.
It must have been an accident, not realizing that you had an AAZ engine in there.
There are actually a few guys around here with non-VW chassis that have mounted IDI engines in them.
-
xud9te do you have better pics of the motor???? it looks like the turbo is sitting behind the right side headlight!!! anyone else notice this????
i would like to see close ups!!!!
crazy install!!!!
-
it is on the left side there, it's a fiat or something

hi,
more pics here:

well, the zx enginebay doesnt have the luxury of space behind the engine like the vw's as the engine is very tilted. Also as i was moving the turbo it gave me a chance to make a better, long primaries manifold.
most of the bigger turbo conversions on the xu series engines are moved to above the gearbox (eg T16 etc). I pushed mine more towards the front as although it lengthened the manifold again, it put the turbo in a much better spot for fabricating a smoother flowing downpipe with less bends.
although in hindsight i would have made the downpipe exit behind the front wheel, may also do this in future, which would shorten the manifold bt about 9"!!
not as laggy as you would think and is certainly good in the upper rpms. manifold and downpipe are heat paint coated, then wrapped with lagging, then have a high temp aluminium sheet. i went a bit mad trying to stop heat radiation from all the miles of tubing so now it looks like i was trying to build a spaceship!!!
cheers

@xud9te: how much boostpressure can those citroen 1.9td take with stock headgasket for longtime? (how much stock?)
Greetz, Benjamin
-
Sorry, for those who dont know its a Citroen ZX, basically same car as the Peugeot 306.
-
Hi Benjamin,
Stock boost is 8-10psi guage. With my old turbo (little kkk k-14) and fmic I ran it for about 8000miles with 25psi. had a garret t2 which didnt survive those pressures. Engine was fully rebuilt from bottom up 12000 miles ago and i got very flat surfaces and a good composite gasket with alot of passage sealing on it. Had no probs since at all with temps or HG, although i agree these engines are renkowned for HG problems, it is usually due to degraded radistors at 100000miles rather than the gasket. Then people fix the gasket and not the rad and it goes again....
The VNT20 turbo at the moment boosts to an easy 23psi.
cheers

It looks like you weren't logged on and posted as "Guest" and so your original post was automatically deleted.
Andrew[/quote]
I was logged on. You can't post without logging on afaik. It got changed to
guest when it was deleted. Anyway, I hope to have my engine bay looking
much more spiffy when I reinstall the engine. The first install was a rush
job with no test drive before I left for Moab. Had overheating probs
unfortunately.
-
jimfoo,
that's a great conversion that you got in progress, i like to see these engines and non vw related vehicles, and mods involved with getting them in, up and running.
hillshy.
ps xud9te, the zx looks good and the engine mods look good, i bet it goes well too.
-
the overheating issues is probably just airlock in the system, and possibly a rad thermoswitch issue like mine.
with old radiators, they can get really clogged, and its a good idea to flush em out.
-
What is the best way to deal with the airlock issue? The rad isn't a VW, so
could possibly be undersized, but I have a new Al rad, another oil cooler,
and an intercooler(Saab) which will be going in this time. Thermo switch was
brand new, and the fan was running although I could probably get a higher
cfm unit. I'm not sure yet where in the bay I'll be able to fit it all, but it
will probably have to have a separate IC fan.
-
well what i did was let the engine come to operating temperature with the reservoir cap off. some coolant will probably boil out but thats ok.. just put some rags near the reservoir.
i had the issue where my rad was cold to the touch and the engine temp gauge was going real high... well the driver side of the rad was cold, passenger side was getting hot... so i knew that the thermostat was working good. ran the car without the reservoir cap on for about 7 mins or so (takes a while to reach operating temp at idle... i helped by revving it a bit)
after that the rad was getting warm all over once 87C came along, and no more overheating... although my thermoswitch is still buggered so the rad fan likes to come on when its convenient... which is .. never :lol:
-
Alright, got a couple shots of the engine bay, and yes, my wife thought I was crazy. Will try to get them up here later today.

It's not pretty, but it's mine!
