This is a super cool build thread man. I'm glad the engine is much lower now. At first i was like meh, then i was like now it just got cool.

i wanna ride in it!! that would just be the coolest thing to take to DGRR and run the whole weekend without putting fuel in it

i like the build man, i have mulled over a TDI FB myself as a daily driver that isnt FWD and stupid, but has style and kick ass mpg

After taking a very long extended stay in the garage I have finally made progress toward getting this project finished and on the road.

sizing up a radiator and intercooler

new mounts before going at them with the angle grinder

Best part, in combo with the new engine mounts and notched sub frame the hood closes with the engine inside!

12arotary · 09-03-2013, 04:12 PM

hoping to have it out for testing with the new turbo by the end of the month!

Good deal. I was beginning to think you'd given up on it.

woo! i was curious what had happened to this thing.

12arotary · 03-10-2014, 09:05 AM

Did some work this weekend, after almost four years of mostly sitting in my garage the diesel is ready for road testing.
engine out again due to a bad oil pan seal-

Back together

the old hood, no more hole needed!

12 gallon plastic fuel cell has replaced the stock tank, I'll be running 100% biodiesel all the time and a rusty old gas tank would get eaten up pretty fast

I wanted to simplify things and get some miles on this before the next upgrade so It will be run NA for a while. next step is eventually adding the turbo back on and running a hybrid propane biodiesel mix.

It has become the daily driver. mid 40s mpg and not all that slow.
new exhaust will come with the turbo for now its a sidepipe

Now with more boost, much faster and smoother at highway speeds

First under boost drive.
