Ugh! Good luck my friend!

How much for the engine complete?

If long block falls through, let me know!

So I bought a $750 1998 Golf 4dr with a 2.slow. I love the car but miss my diesel. I am tired of dealing with IDI issues (glow plugs in top shape, lack of power, lack of aftermarket support) but I don't want an electric TDI. So I am planning on building a M-TDI. I have a Cummins 6bt pump core...

Was the previous owner at the Scooters Meet in WI?

There is someone in S. Il I believe that has a TDI where "1st is useless and 2nd is just like it" according to Diesel Power magazine

Yo bro! I know its hard to do, but keep that foot outta it! :D

You seem to be able to read well. Go to http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/tech_center.html It helped me in sizing turbos for my Cummins. A turbo guru who helped answer many of my questions said BSFC was around .36-.52 depending on how much fueling was there.

Things to do to the 4BT that worked on 6BT VE's. Tap the fuel inlet for -8AN or 1/2" line Make the high throttle stop screw MIA for full throttle travel 3.2MM cam plate Custom make a 6 blade vane pump KSB timing advance spacer to add more dynamic timing Run 15psi inlet pressure on stock front...

K$N is the WORST filter for ANY turbo/supercharged engine. Look and read these 2 links. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest3.htm http://www.billswebspace.com/AirFilterTest.htm If you want to trash your turbo sooner, get the K$N. No matter their advertising in major diesel...

Never seen a 5-600hp Cummins get 26mpg but 18-22 I have seen. The guys claiming 26 are Canadian or reporting what the lie-o-meter tells them.

Diesel run lean, no matter the injector. Your primary MPG mod is the removal of the weighted right foot. Replace with a lighter model and you should be good .;)

Manual or auto?

Auto or manual?

How much?

Sorry whitbread, I thought you meant for him to use one of those without the glowplugs. My mistake. ;)

:confused: That is used to aid in cold starts, not replace the glow plugs. All 7.3L had glow plugs... And as for the Cummins intake heater, most have had not to remove it until 500+hp. Until that point, it is not a restriction. It can start a 5.9L in -20* in 2 revolution of the starter. I plan...

I am talking about fuel pressures at the inlet, post filter. All I see is "Don't run more than 2-6psi". I am asking WHY no more than that?

As I have read on here, the TDI VE is an electronic version of the Cummins 4bt VE. In fact, on older engines, the only difference I have seem to have found is the shaft size (IIRC, the VW VE is 15mm, the Cummins is 20mm). So for sake of argument, lets say they are mostly the same. The reason for...
