Hello,
I am swapping a 97 Jetta TDI motor into a suzuki samurai. Before I take the motor out of the Jetta I would like to do a few basic mods. I can't do anything crazy because I need the car to have reliable power when in the backcountry. I also need to change the injection pump to a hybrid mechanical one. Any sugestions on who can do this? Do I get a bigger pump to compliment things such as bigger nozzles? A list of mods would be very helpful. I also changed the timing belt. The car has 150,000 miles.

Thanks for your help!
Chris

No TDIs Currently, I have an R36 Corrado. I've had an ALH Corrado swap, AHU Corrado swap and 2003 TDI Jetta
Its uncommon for people in this forum to know about mods to combine with a mechanical pump. Your best bet would be to post up on www.vwdiesel.net

my friend has one one in his mk1 rabbit, with a 12mm pump built by guiles in canada from a 4bt cummins pump.

i would do a waterpump and thermostat while in there to keep it reliable.
