Building the MOST powerful TDI in America! 450hp? 500hp?

Рет қаралды 238,190

Күн бұрын

Today we are continuing our TDI swap series! I'm officially announcing my attempt to make the most powerful 4 cylinder TDI in America! So... what if I don't make it...Who cares?! Lets push ourselves and build some cool stuff in the process! I really believe VW makes some of the best Diesel engines available. The BHW Pumpe Duse is a great platform to start with. I would like your recommendations on what vehicle we should install this 400hp monster into. Baja Bug? Rock buggy? Drift truck?
Thank you for watching!

@mjpermin 4 жыл бұрын

As someone who owns a big turbo 1st gen cummins and a 2015 2.0 CR tdi, i'm ridiculously excited to see where this goes. Ive been toying with the idea of a tdi powered disco for a long time now, and with the 55mpg i get out of my stock emissions-riddled tdi, I cant even imagine how much fun id have with a comfortable and efficient overland rig that makes all my favorite noises.

Most Patrol tourers (over landers) over here in Aus are so over weight that they are close to, or over, gvm before they put any gear, fuel or passengers in them. If I put one of these in my truck it will really rock the establishment, yet I can’t help thinking it would be a great idea. I hope you swap it into your Disco as that would be an ideal proof of concept for me👍 Keep up the great work brother.

I would love to see that TDI monster in a small 4x4 pickup build. Preferably something old and uncommon like a Ford Courier or Datsun 620. Cant decide if i prefer the crawler or prerunner idea. I suspect the only way this could be competitive as a prerunner is building it on a very light chasis, somehow i think your proclivity toward aluminum and proper design vs overbuilding brings that much closer to reality. Your content has absolutely convinced me to TDI swap my Wrangler, and possibly my Cherokee as well. Keep it up!

I'd like to see you install the VW TDI engine in a 1997-98 Subaru Outback wagon. Mine died a few years ago when the valves said "BYE BYE" after 215,000 miles. Been thinking about an electric conversion but a TDI that passes CA emissions, has 4' lifts & 29" tires could make a great Dirt-mobile. Excellent show by the way; very well thought out and fun to watch!!

Pre Runner a VW Rabbit Truck, AKA Caddy. Either convert to RWD or suffer with the front drive shenanigans. Also info heavy is good when dealing with an engine lots of folks aren’t familiar with. Looking forward to the build. I have a Caddy with a 1.6 and have a homemade turbo setup for it. Boost referenced pump and all. Was on a 1.5 and was a fast little rocket Rabbit. Was built pre VW turbo cars, actually borrowed by VW engineers back in the 70’s. Too bad the car rusted.

Install it in the bed of the FSJ. Use the space under the hood as a storage area.

If you are interested, I have a 1980 VW Caddy shell, straight but in need of major structural rust repair about the windscreen and strut towers. My long game is to marry the firewall forward of a Passat to the Caddy with something like what you are working on TDI wise. Mini trophy truck!

J truck or tube frame rock crawler for sure! Leaning towards the J truck myself but I would LOVE to see you do a series on a tube frame crawler.

No sense in going out and buying another rig use the old truck as planned. If my 4.0 ever goes out of my YJ a TDI probably be the way I'd go thanks to your videos

First it’s dirtlifestyle so keep it dirt! Big tires is a must. It’s fits your whole persona. In my opinion I would love to see a rat rod looking tow vehicle. Something that you can say it has a purpose. Or maybe a prerunner but then again that might be pricey.

The Jeep Truck would be cool or a rock bouncer of some kind. Then make a Joint video with the 4wd Action guys for the test drive 😎

I'm definitely doing this to my TJ! I'm really into engine building and I'm really looking forward to this series! But that wont be for a few years...
