Thats pretty impressive mate. I have a 1.9 XUD, also indirect injection, and the sound is what i love about it, but it makes little power. Its a turbo without intercooler, and the pump has no boost membrane for additional fuel
Andy, I absolutely love it. You have these crazy ideas and the skills to carry them out. I love this collection of videos following the progress and finally the engine making noise 🙌🙌🙌 I can’t wait to see it in the ambulance. 🎉
This is a cool idea. I will be curious to see how it runs. I would expect that the di engine uses a more aggressive camplate in the pump so as to inject the fuel through a shorter crank angle duration. Some of this might be mitigated with slight base timing advance
interesting in that i had to advance the pump a full tooth on the belt to get it to fire up! since the first run it cracks up withi first 3 revolutions from cold without any glow plugs connected. also appears to run very cleanly, will post update when it’s up and driving in the ambulance 👍
Hi Andy , you said about putting a twin cam head on the diesel block , would that be running petrol then? Or modified diesel twin cam ? Thanks dude great content , just found you on UA-cam, cheers dude 👍👍👍👍
@@thehillmanator That was the best of the 1.9's. The 90 bhp was a slug, the 115 suffered porous heads, and the 130-150's did around 10 mpg less. Plus I don't like PD. The AFN was amazing on fuel, 60 mpg with care was possible, and 500,000 miles
Masterful tinkering... Can't wait to see it in the van

apologies i ment it’s the same family of engine and the head stud pattern is the same as x flow so the head will physically slide on 👌
How did the IDI - > DI engine go on once you got it installed and dialled in ? Quite an ask for a lil 1.8 to drag a convoy around !
sorry not got back to it yet 😬
The French & Germans were doing it so much better, even in the 80's.
yep agreed my pal had a vw breakers years ago said he never sold one 1.9tdi (afn) engine ever ! simply do not fail

There is no doubting your talent but shouldn't you be spending your spare time looking for xe itbs?
