- 18'6" welded aluminum jetboat with pd160, gtb2056vl, and tuning by rub87, 2003 chev blazer with bhw swap, 2000 jetta alh with gtd1752 vrk, .240 injectors, 11mm pump, fmic, 6 spd manual
Finally got the 2005 passat home I bought back in Dec. for a donor car.
Plan is to put the bhw into an 2003 4door blazer I have. I had assumed I would be doing a balance shaft delete, but after pulling the motor today I popped the pan off and discovered it has the geared balance shaft module in it. Try to decide now whether to run it as is or go ahead with the delete.
My understanding is that the hex oil pump driveshaft that was problematic in the original chain drive modules is still used in the gear drive units. Has anyone here put high enough mileage on a geared module to know if the hex shaft stands up any better than in the chain drive units? Also wondering what the stock map sensor is on the bhw's? This one has a 3bar map so wondering if it's been tuned or if they came stock with the 3bar?
Thanks guys.
