what about using a bhw mani or a 1.6 trapezoid or even an AAZ manifold?... all will place the turbo up higher than your current config and may afford you more space around that massive
hvac unit
As far as I know the non-ac heater box will only work on the up to 1994 trucks.got a no-ac heater box for a second gen somewhere around here
had to go to arizona to find one in a junkyard, how's that work?
Well, I was there anyways and couldn't resist visiting the yards to drool on the shiny brand new metal from the seventies.
Isn't this what I'm showing in my second series of pictures? (BHW manifold)what about using a bhw mani or a 1.6 trapezoid or even an AAZ manifold?... all will place the turbo up higher than your current config and may afford you more space around that massivehvac unit
doh!... yes i see it now.... thought it was a chopped off ALH mani![]()

Here is what the boxes look like next to one another.

Huh, interesting. Explains perfectly the ranger that comes in with nearly 500k miles, no-a/c 4cyl 5spd 2wd
has a heater box that looks like the normal A/C model, but with tabs covering over the holes where the evaporator lines would go.
[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 5121546, member: 423372"]Is there a picture list of all the different manifolds for the various variants of the 1.9TDI?It would be nice to have for us swapers.We could pick n choose which mani will work best for our applications.[/QUOTE]
If you've got a welder, plenty of gasoline 8V 2.0 motors in mk4 cars got a tubular tri-Y style header.
Real easy to chop up and reconfigure.
The other style was two clamshell pieces stamped from steel and welded together. Easy to tell the difference at a glance in the junkyard.
I don't want to hijack this thread.I've been scratching my head over my future ranger '01 TDI swap.I want to keep my A/C and heater right where it is,and also keep my compressor where it is.My A/C system works so good since new,I hate to crack it open.
I made up a couple wood templates to see what angle would work best with the manifold. I then modeled up the adapter profile and matched that angle.

3D printed the model to double check fitment.

Looks like I won't have to touch the compressor outlet. Very lucky!

There is only one spot that the tooling won't able to get to on the inside radius. I'll blend this by hand.

$24 for raw material.How many thousands of dollars for one?
I wish I had those type of skills! My machinist skills (if you can call them that) are limited to a manual mill and lathe and fairly simple parts.green gawker-that needs to be in a museum! Or on a desk. Make two. You have some skills! Self taught or machinist school?
Way less than I thought.$24 for raw material.
Don't knock it.When I had access to the equipment,I saved myself some big money doing the work myself.I wish I had those type of skills! My machinist skills (if you can call them that) are limited to a manual mill and lathe and fairly simple parts.![]()
gasp! that was faster than I was expecting!!
Same here.gasp! that was faster than I was expecting!!
What are you delivering the gensets for? It is very nice up there. Our family cabin is about 50 miles WNW of there.Hauling gensets. Burntside Lake near Ely MN....20 miles from the Canadian border. Unbelievably beautiful country.

Interesting! What are you planning to use it for?I was picking them up. As of yesterday afternoon they are now running and moving electrons.
There is a pretty cool device on this Perkins engine called a Thermostart. https://youtu.be/NeDvCVS38hk
Neat! Wonder what kind of fuel they use, diesel'd definitely be most convenient...I was picking them up. As of yesterday afternoon they are now running and moving electrons.

7.3 IDI is naturally aspirated, filter's right above the intake just like on a carb/tbi motorJust stick it right in the intake manifold and I wouldn't worry at all. Theres a long enough intake tract to keep it safe.
