The Boost to Drive pressure looks pretty good for just a quick set up test drive.. glad you put in a gauge to monitor it. she sounds like she's a little too advanced on the injection timing..but that could help you at higher rpm when the you've reached the limit on timing piston travel. Sounds like she just wants to pull hard when it comes on boost! Interesting to see if you can max out the 11mm when you get the turbo control sorted. Baby steps atm, but your deffo going the right direction mate keep up the good work!
I need to put my intercooler on my 95 Toyota 4runner with a VW 1.6 td before modding the fuel pump, but I like what you did there! My wastegate is also stuck, so I need to rebuild my turbo as well.
HEY nice stuff!! Two tips, if you have a hydraulic head (the one without the metal under the buckets) and want MAXIMUM boost without popping the head, this would be the way. #1 There's a special headgasket from the AAZ, its full metal (not fiber, like the original ones). It can hold tons of pressure without popping #2 You can upgrade to headstuds from ARP (pretty expensive), a cheaper alternative is PD150 headbolts. You need to cut them yourself as they are slightly longer, or you can get those from darksidediesel readily made. The metal is +- 25% stronger than the original ones.
Hey thanks!! I appreciate it. Unfortunately it's a mechanical block/head so no cigar on the MLS. BUT it is already rocking some ARP 2000 studs 😎 my usual failure mode is snapping the turbo shaft it seems not the head gasket 😔
Hell yea buddy grate to see this bad unit back on the road hoping to get my mark one tdi cabby back this summer if you ever bring the car home i hope to see you on the nh highways
Have you looked into the Go Fast Bits V2 VNT Manual Boost Controller instead of the DIY controller? I've seen them work on mTDI trucks down in Australia, and they seem to work well. It stays with your fully mechanical setup as well. Great video! Love the sound of the motor.
@@Dubst3pT3ch I would think it would since it's a VNT setup. I personally haven't used the GFB controller, but have seen a few videos and it seems to work.
i did same for a year with one engine like that and it was scraped it was fully built but it keept overheating id did go crazzy but it keept overheating i ended up puting another engine in it i feal sorry i cant weit for you to get some numbers on it
Old video but hoping I can get a reply 🤞 Did you do anything in regard to case pressure or timing advance spring pressure mate? Watched your rotorhead swap video but was just wondering. When the pump is wound up or producing big cc like yours now is it drops case pressure down and the advance rate / overall timing is affected apparently I'm about to swap my 10mm ve6 pump to a 12mm and big cam so trying to gain as much information info as i can I suppose worse comes worse just advance the pump a heap to offset it haha 🙃
Honestly I don't have enough data yet to confirm anything. The "base model" of this pump was Giles modified - so spring & such already. I do like to run the inline electric pump too. From what I can tell I don't lose any fuel pressure, for me it's worse than timing if it happens (it did on an old pump)... Lose all power pretty much.
@@OliverFetter appreciate the reply , I run a lift pump as well just for fuel pressure safety under high acceleration Your car hammered after the 11mm install and didn't seem to fall over at all like a timing issue was present so I'm just going to 12mm swap and send/hope. Got a few ides if its issue anyway Keep up the content mate it's good stuff 🤙
Sure, he should put a 454 Chevy in it. Or, maybe the whole point of the project is to soup up a mechanically injected VW diesel. Naw, that'd just be silly.
Problem with TDI is you need to do lots of stuff, ECU (or mTDI), new gearbox (the 020 cant handle the torque), and the gearbox needs a hydraulic shifter, longer driveshafts, etc etc. If you can get a donor-car it would be nice though.
@@khester7397 I don't think that's what we're saying, he is doing a bang up job but at some point he will rewatch the limit, and when he does we wanna see what he can do with something bigger like the 1.9
The 1.9l is def a power upgrade but it's a fundamental switch in what you're working with - ecu, etc. More than anything it ain't cheap to retrofit a whole 'nother motor! I think there's a lot to do still with car in general (and i tend to hyper focus on the motor as it is!!)
I have *loosely* tracked it. When it used to be naturally aspirated I got around 45-50 mpg. With a modded 9mm pump I was still getting 36-40 mpg (with a fuel tank leak!!). I haven't driven it with the 11mm pump head enough to have a current stat. It all depends on how ya drive it too. A flaming hot tune only affects how responsive the gas pedal is... How much you press it determines the rest! I'd guestimate it still does 35-40mpg without stuffing it at every opportunity
love the videos ollie, very informative and love seeing the progress! I am rebuilding an AAZ 1.9TD in my mk3 golf cabriolet
Glad you dig um! That sounds like a sweet project 💪

Hey! Thanks! Yeah seems like we're headed in a good direction. Gotta keep it together till the turbo works 😅😅
Heck yeah sound like a joy to drive I should know love mine. And thanks by the way no more overheating runs really good!!!!!
Let's GOO!! Glad to hear it 😁
Good sounding engine. Short efficient combustion events thats why it « KLKLKLKLKLKLKL » going to make big power soon !
Yeet!! I hope so

Eagerly awaiting test drive with more fuel!
Me too!!
Next one will have better audio too 👌

Hey thanks! I have peeped them briefly before. Although it's a bit more work upfront I think the Arduino is going to be sweet 👌
Would the GFB controller work with a 1.9 VNT20? I thought about that swap on my 1.6TD
@@Dubst3pT3ch I would think it would since it's a VNT setup. I personally haven't used the GFB controller, but have seen a few videos and it seems to work.
It Sounds Like its going to make good Power :)
Sure does 😁😁

Dang that sounds like a tough time!! Thanks for sharing. What turbo were you using?
the gtd original one with some modification to go 1.7 bar with aftermarket intercooler i head 39 bar of compresiion on that engine :D@@OliverFetter

I don't think it's THAT much more fuel with the 11mm that the vane pump loses pressure 💁

Keep up the content mate it's good stuff 🤙
Looks sure like an fun project. Why not going for 1.9tdi from an mk4 golf?. Put some bigger injectors and turbo on that.
i agree time for a bigger engine
Sure, he should put a 454 Chevy in it.
Or, maybe the whole point of the project is to soup up a mechanically injected VW diesel.

Is this a direct injection engine ?? If not, can it be converted ?? 🤔
Indirect injection! 🤔🤔🤔 I imagine it would be pretty hard to convert it. The later 1.9tdi's is where vw made the switch.
I’m curious how your modifications have changed the fuel mileage you get? Do you have an idea on how that’s changed?
I have *loosely* tracked it. When it used to be naturally aspirated I got around 45-50 mpg. With a modded 9mm pump I was still getting 36-40 mpg (with a fuel tank leak!!).

That’s crazy man. You’re doing an awesome job. Can’t wait to see where you take it next. 💪
Thanks!!! 😁
is there a github for your turbo code?
Not yet 👍
time for 40 psi now maybe? XD
joke, even if is less than 100hp, the torque should be increase a bit too
I meaaaaaaan if the turbo doesn't eject itself again then maybe 😂🤞 certainly there's enough fuel for 40psi
Good video man, come on a live and lets talk sometime
I'm game.
