So recently my 2002 TDI died ,water pump and and key chip reader I suspect. This car was a work car and overall very tired and worn out. Not entirely by accident I just acquired an old 58 f100 pickup that needs a motor and transmission. Now other than the obvious adaption to whatever transmission I get (still researching that aspect) I'm wondering what all would have to be done to use the 1.9 in that old of a truck? I'm ASSUMING I will still need to have the computer to control the turbo and glow plugs and such, but is there a way to delete or bypass all the "non essential" things? Also along with a water pump, timing belt, egr delete, and intake cleaning is there anything else I should do while I have the engine out? I'm also thinking I should probably do something to make it push a few more ponies since I'm looking at a heavier vehicle. What are the mist recommended ways of doing that? I am again assuming I start with larger injectors but not sure how large or where to go from there?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Making standalone harnesses (and signal processors for those harnesses) is what I specialize in. Most people who don't have to go through any emission controls get as much as they can removed from the harness to make the installation as neat and as simple as possible. So assuming your '58 would fall into that category, this means I can reduce the harness down to the bare minimum to needed run - namely: turbo control valve, Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor, accelerator input, OBD and the basic wire inputs like 12V switched, ground, oil pressure etc. At the same time, this means that the immobilizer is removed, as well as EGR, Anti Shudder Valve, Mass Air Flow sensor and we can even delete the coolant glow plugs if necessary. Because we need to change the ECU software to accomplish all that, we also do a Stage 1 tune to get the most amount of reliable power possible with the stock hardware. If you are doing performance upgrades, we can make the software match those upgrades. Also, we upgrade the harness (1Z AHU ALH) to run dual generic 40A glow plug relays, and install a new 40A power supply relays as well. The Volkswagen power supply relays seem to be prone to failure over the long run and using generic relays ensures that the corner NAPA store would have a relay if you ever do need to get a replacement. Needless to say if you do need to pass emission tests, we can retain all that is necessary to do that. When we assemble your harness, everything is places where you need it to be, bench tested and fully documented.
