The Samurai

[IZwack]

Its been slow going but das VW diesel engine is almost ready to fire

Just a few more electrical wires to run (glow plugs, etc...)

 

[Rick]

Dang... it looks factory

 

[tdavis]

Yea, I'm debating..

16v/1600, or VW 1.6TD, or 1.9TD, or 1.9TDI

Tom, if you get the TDI get something later than 2000. In 2001 they made changes which extended the interval between timing belt replacements. Hopefully they also fixed the problems with their MAFs. If not just remember that you can use a MAF from a 2.0 gas motor and it only costs $50 compared to the $250 that the "correct" MAF costs

There is a Sami for sale near me which looks like a brand new rig... It would make a great "toad" for someone with a motorhome.

I'm told the electronics for the newer TDI's are a PITA.. Right now, it's all pie-in-the-sky.

I wish I could take credit but I was not part of it, it was all him.

If all goes well, we should be showing up for the Big Bear run .

Yeah that Squirt.

 

[IZwack]

Yeah that Squirt.

Its using the stock box -- which I dont think there's much to it, just an injector controller and a glow plug timer.

Ooof careful there, you're starting to sound like a green, tree hugging liberal : - kidding! No plans for SVO/bio yet, but you never know what the future holds!

Not sure, I probably wont make it (work and school), but I'll tell my brother about the October run.
