JSW TDI converting to 4Motion

[BMKruse]

So I went to the junk yard yesterday to pickup some of the parts for my JSW TDI to 4Motion conversion.

I picked up the rear haldex/diff, the front transfer box, the drive shaft, 3 out of 4 hubs, and the rear sub frame. I am going to need a lot of help so please feel free to jump in.

Very interested in this project, can't wait to see the progression.

Was that a Tiggy donor? I think that will jack the rear of your car up quite a bit! You'll also need the 4mo fuel tank, transmission, all kinds of stuff. The A5 R32 would probably be a better source for a lot of stuff you'll need.

interesting...what is the parts donor vehicle?

It was a Tiguan. They use the MK6 platform. Actually almost the same as the R. The suggestion came from a VW tech. I am
Only using the main rear subframe. The rest will be Golf R or Audi arms. I am looking at a totaled transmission to see it the mounting plates are the same. I would prefer a factory drilled plate vs aftermarket machined plate.

As for jacking it up I believe that most of that will be in the suspension. I already have the full golf R suspension which I will just switch over.

I hope I can use the Tiguan fuel tank due to it being a larger size. 2 extra gallons would be awesome.

Tiguan

2 extra gallons in a tdi that's almost 100 extra miles haha I hope you find a way to make it fit haha

Very interesting

This will be an interesting thread to follow. Are all the cars "junk" donors, or just the 4 wheel drive stuff? Curious minds want to know!

 

[BMKruse]

Most of the 4 wheel drive parts are from a 2011 Tiguan that got rolled in a drunk driving accident.

I will also be pulling parts from ECS and VW.

I just ordered the Elsawin VW database to start figuring out wiring diagrams. My next big purchase will be the upgraded DSG clutch.

The Haldex should be going to Force Fed at the beginning of next month to be inspected and locking diff installed. They will be sending the case back to me to get cleaned and polished, possibly powder coated as well.

Everything is going on my 2012 JSW TDI.

Keep asking and I'll keep answering. This will be my baby for a while.

I think this will the first time a 4mo conversion done on a MKVI platform. Cool project.

Locking diff too! Going rock crawling with that bad boy?

I plan on trying to get 350 hp and 425 ftlb out of the engine once the conversion is finished.

Go big or go home, eh? That's going to be an even bigger challenge than the 4mo conversion!

I'm following with a different interest - putting a TDI into a Tiguan. You still have a very interesting project.

 

[bennybmn]

4 wheel burnouts!

 

[BeetleGo]

That won't ever happen. ESP

 

[BMKruse]

It will. Just need to install the ESP disable switch.

 

[A5INKY]

Nice project.

Oh, and that disable switch is my favorite part of ESP, terribly intrusive "nanny" tech best used by less-skilled drivers. Mine goes "off" at the first sign of spirited driving or even foul weather. I'll do the driving thanks.

Agree

Take the "ever" out then!

I would love to see that! Good luck. Hope you can pull it off

 

[ashutoshsm]

Fascinating, gutsy and ...
I'll bring the popcorn to the thread

Good luck!

I didn't know Papa Johns had chicken poppers! Check out the box on the table next to the gearbox photo.

That's at the salvage yard... lol

 

[dremd]

In for epic thread.

 

[BMKruse]

I need to know where the Haldex wire's go. Help TDI guys.

 

[dremd]

I hope you have a Bentley.
If not, get one.

 

[BMKruse]

I have went to the Bentley publishing website and can't find anything newer than a 2010 book. I do have Elsawin but it doesn't have everything that I am looking for.
