Newbie to forum...5 years with a 1982 diesel Vanagon (AAZ 1.9 n/a with 35k miles).
New owner of a 1981 "Caddy" 1.6 n/a (60k on rebuild),... also 1 1984 Quantum Turbo diesel sedan (65k on re-build)(5k on injector pump)....Parts Car.
1.Can I use the Quantum's Turbo injector pump on the Caddy's 1.6 n/a with no issues.
2.Can I use it with the n/a injectors or do I (HAVE) to use the turbo injectors.( I know there is an opening
pressure difference in the 2).
3. Does the fuel screw need to be adjusted a little LOWER.
4. Any performance gains or mpg loss?
5. I should be able to just block-off the turbo to pump valve, on top of pump, install, and time it, right???
The Caddy's pump is leaking (abundantly) at cold-start lever and I don't have the $ to re-seal it, right nw.
I am in the middle of a new timing belt, water pump, hoses, and gaskets change project. Just want to get it zipped back up and on the road. I will re-seal the n/a pump sometime soon. Any (sound)advise on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
1. yes
2. NA Injectors
3. No
4. No
5. Yes
Thanks for the info. I'm pulling the Turbo pump tommorrow and installing on the n/a. I hope to be pulling the Quantum's Turbo, intake, oil lines (modified?), injectors, etc.( within a month or 2) and installing on the N/A. I will be sourceing the Jetta exhaust and down-pipe from a friend.
A Franken-Turbo Motor is in the works. I will add a Mocal sandwhich plate and a Setrab Volvo oil cooler. I am considering the Quantum's dual-fan set-up (in the Caddy)...(if I can make it fit.) Both have a/c so wiring should be good for it. More oil and water cooling. The Quantums dual-shrowd ( minus the belted fan) seems like a good spot for a future intercooler or oil cooler relocation. The Mk 4 dual-fan seems like a do-able, thinner and lighter mod. also. I will keep the forum informed of the progress. I'll pull the Quantum's long-block (65k) soon and seal it for storage. I am doing the Franken Thing because 1. I really don't won't to pull 2 motors, right now. Winter, out-side, alone, itching to drive my new caddy. 2.The Caddy's n/a engine (60k miles on biggger-bore re-build) pulls and runs stronger than any 1.6 n/a, I've driven. Adding the turbo set-up is all I'll really ever NEED for my speed kick. I have no plans for chasing 1.6's Turbo's available speed. 15psi will probally be my max..... MPG, and engine longevity will be my main concerns. 3. I need to get rid of the Quantum body for space concerns. I've been (daily driving)( and quarterly fixing) a Vanagon diesel (4-spd) (1.9 AAZ n/a) (25 mpg) for 5 years, so the Caddy's quickness and 40+ mpg is long-awaited. I'll list the Quantum left-over bits and pieces later. I'll also be selling the Van this Spring. I'd love to hear anyone's experience with the Franken-Motor set-up.
passat dual fans bolt right on mk1/2 radiators im pretty positive.
