So ive been thinking of putting a VW 1.8 TDI, anyone know of anyone who has done this or have any info on them? any and all info would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!

 

I seen a video on youtube but dont know much about it!

 

Ive seen the same video on you tube, do a search there, the guy that did the swap did a nice job.

"This list includes the following transmissions but there will inevitably will be more added as we go:

GM Automatics- TH350, TH400, 700R4, 4L60, 4L80
Toyota Landcruiser- H41, H42, H55F, A440F
Toyota pickup- G52, G54, W56, R150
Jeep- AX-15"

 

Huge fan of the (1.9 ALH) TDIs here...Happen to own one myself and have modded the hell out of it. I drive it like I stole it and still get 40-45 MPG.
I have some interest in dropping one of these into a 4Runner as well, but am concerned about gear ratios.
I'll be watching and will post if I see anything pertinent.

 

I also like everything that I have been hearing about the TDIs and think this would be a good engine to put in a pickuo
