Before somebody calls me out on it though. The 3.4 (5vzfe) would take the TDi in a race. hehe. The TDi sucks at going fast, so truly the truck isn't "Fast" at all...yet. I figure 140km/h in a brick is acceptable for now.
You'd have to build the TDI up alot more to take the 5vzfe in a "race"....but imho that's not the point of swapping in a TDI...it's having a flat strong torque curve that starts lower down in the rpm range which translates into a fun to drive more usable vehicle that feels quicker than the petrol engine , not to mention the at least 50% bump in FEEven if the TDI was built up more, you think the 3.4 would still take it? I'm ready for injectors and a turbo upgrade on my 94. Comparing to my Golf just isn't fair.
Your wish is my command! (Nods head)Nice build, now you have to get rid of that infamous 4runner sag.
Things are excellent. Truck just turned 10,000kms a few weeks ago and has been treating me very well. I have recently moved to Abottsford, B.C. for a job at a performance diesel company and taken nothing but the essentials and the truck with me. So I've had to really trust it lately for the move and life in a new city.How is this beast doing?
