Up north in Canada and finding a Samurai without rusty floorboards is next to impossible... I've got a couple of them that will need new tin in lots of places. Have the acme kit and a 1.6TD installed in an 87 tintop. I got it running and haven't found the time to finish it due to family health problems but i'll be getting to it soon. Thanks for the vids, lots of good information. I have since accumulated about 4 used 1.9 AAZ engines, all used and running but questionable condition, so a tear down and re-ring, bearings, seals, gaskets and Giles pump and injectors in order for any future install. A Samurai and an older MK2 Golf will be the focus of my daily driving requirements. Thanks again.
Beautiful little Samurai ... You done a tidy job installing the VW Diesel !! 👍👍👍👍 Reading the comments , I was saddened to hear you had to Sell it ...😕 Captain.
Thank you for the video, is there any way you could put a list together a list of the vendors and parts suppliers that you have used. Ive seen a bunch of these conversions but yours is by far the cleanest i have seen. Thanks & God bless
Glad it helped out. Unfortunately I had to sell it back in the summer I needed a new tractor and toys have to go when money is tight. I am looking for a amazing motor where did you run across those you found
To each their own. I've done both. I've done two TDI swaps, and one 1.3 with a CV carb and turbo, and I would much rather drive my diesel swaps. The 1.3 turbo was fun, but really lacked the torque that I wanted. All depends on your budget and what you're looking for as an end result, and what kind of driving or wheeling you're going to be doing.

Thanks for the videos. How is highway deliverability. Top speed, rpm, acceleration. Thanks in advance!

Aaz motors there all but impossible to find in the states
As for the coast I had around 3500 in the entire build but I did all the work except the pump
I would go with the 1.3 ZoR turbo kit. Like night and day difference. AAZ is too heavy and no room.

No way 1.9 is not to heavy and a 1.3 with the turbo kit will not have no where near the torque the 1.9td will have lol.....
Can you give me a ball park on how much a build like this cost? I’ve got a 93 that I’d eventually like to do.
$3000+ at least. I've done two.
