There's an outfit in the US that sells VW TDi conversion kits :
Suzuki Samurai Turbo Diesel conversion kit for Suzuki Samurai

Upon further research I see the VW's rated 100HP @ 4000 rpms! That just might work...

for your project i would whole-heartedly recommend a cool turbo diesel if you can get your hands on one... they are all over the place in central america on small pickups and suvs. also the nissan frontier came with a killer turbo diesel in other countries...

What a sweet deal~ eng/trans/harness/etc. for $1350??? But while I've been out of touch with automotive diesels for the past few years, I still recognize VeeDubs are the KING~ and still the only D-motor on my potential playlist.... I want something I can get parts for on any SUNDAY....

Here is an 84 Sentra diesel in Little Rock, just over 100k miles. Original EPA highway was 49 MPG, high speed engine with good power and economy.

Sorry old guy~ but for the previously mentioned parameters Sentra's ruled out.

Thanks Carlo~ but yer tellin me old news. I've been working/building/programming computers since the only color you could get was monitor yellow. You can help us ALL out by telling us what YOUR timer's set at, so I know how to handle the situation. That is NOT too much to ask....
