1.9L TDI Swapped Toyota Ride Along, Daily Driving with a GTC2262 Mini Semi Turbo 36 PSI Boost

After initial testing a boost spike of 42-44 PSI bend 2 rods in the original engine, and after finding an unrelated crack in the block it was time for a whole different engine to go in. After getting the new setup dialed in I wanted to give an overview of what a big turbo feels like as a single on a mostly stock ALH engine. These newer technology turbos can be spooled up like stock even on a little 1.9L TDI.

I am up to date on your videos now. loved the content so far. always nice to see some small diesel action :)

Great looking/working swap. Any idea on the AFR at 36psi? Seems like quite a lot of air even with the 240s.

[@TDISwaps]

I don't know for sure, I am mostly using the extra boost to stay an lean as possible for EGTs

[@vica153]

@@TDISwaps yeah temps look good so apparently the added back pressure isn't an issue

[@TDISwaps]

@vica153 ya high elevation requires a leaner mixtures, not sure how the added back pressure will affect longevity, but I will be happy if the engine even last 1/2 as long as it did in most cars

[@nautn]

Thanks for the video. I do have a question, with this set up, would/could you take it cross country?

[@TDISwaps]

Well I mean with a 91 Toyota I always have a toolbox full of tools for the rest of the truck LOL usually I can handle anything at that point. I've done about an 8 hour round trip with it that's the longest but I really don't have issues much to make me fearful of a longer trip.

[@nautn]

@@TDISwaps Im just curious. I have a 51 Ford PU with a 5.0 v8, 3 Spd auto going through a 2.50 final drive. The engine and trans are getting tired so the TDI swap looks interesting. And very different.

[@TDISwaps]

​@@nautnyes it's not common, but as you can see from my channel it's starting to get a lot of interest, I actually have a 59 f100 planned for my next swap haha

[@Jesus-hx5vg]

i blew my head gasket 3 times already with all the boost lol just got arp bolts hopefully that’ll stop it. do you recommended me resurfacing the head?

[@TDISwaps]

Ya I was blowing gaskets at 24 PSI boost haha. There is always a chance for head surface damage with blown gaskets so it's probably recommended.

[@mikelindenberg4033]

What gear ratio in the axles on your truck? Im looking to do a tdi swap in my ranger. Stock axles in my ranger are 4.10s

[@TDISwaps]

The Toyota also has 4.10s, with the factory transmission OD I am about 3000 RPM at 80 MPH on 33" tires, works pretty perfect for my mountainous location, I've been consistently 28-32 MPG at that speed

[@bransonhutchinson]

So I’m putting an AZZ model into a ford ranger. I have the wiring harness from the ranger going through the ECU and then into the gauge cluster. To make the tack work on the stock gauge cluster would I have to get an adapter to go from ford to VW or would it work like the stock ranger motor? Thanks!

[@TDISwaps]

What year of ranger? There should be a tach wire from the VW ECU but I've never actually used it on a swap so I'm not sure what would need adapted to send something to the ranger ECU. My jeep tach got it's signal from the crank sensor so I left that hooked up to the transmission

[@bransonhutchinson]

@@TDISwaps so there isn’t an ecu with the AZZ it’s all mechanical so I didn’t have to do a stand alone harness. But the ranger is an 2003

[@TDISwaps]

My bad, you would either need a W wire off the alternator, or use a diesel tach adapter from autometer. But I'm still not sure what the ranger ECU is looking for

[@DUDENOHELP]

Overall how difficult was this swap? What'd you have to modify for fitment? Thanks I have a 1984 2wd 22r im thinking of swapping either a tdi or an om617 in. Thanks

[@TDISwaps]

Well the 91 body style gave a lot more engine room for the V6 making the TDI fit in pretty nicely. I've heard that the 84 is a little bit more work clearancing things or just deleting parts off the engine so there's room. I wouldn't even dream of trying to fit in om617 in there without a 6-in lift or something. The solid axle does help though as long as you're lifted. Almost all the hoses and accessories crossed over very nicely. There wasn't much extra parts to buy if you are okay with reusing hoses and stuff. And I've gotten very good at the wiring aspect so I'm selling those to help people out. Overall it's much easier than a lot of things you could swap as far as I can see.

[@DUDENOHELP]

Ok thanks for the info. Yeah everythings stock no lift lol. Might be leaning towards a tdi. Thank you for your hard work@@TDISwaps

is low oil pressure normal with a alh mine is about the same as yours love the truck

ALH pumps only do 30-40 PSI that's factory spec at 175° so at 210-230° it's going to be even lower, the PD pumps do more but I've never seen 30 PSI as an issue

[@TDISwaps]

@@foxriding753 Everything is Toyota as far as air conditioning up to the VW compressor and chucks of the VW hoses. I'm not sure on the variable compressor, I believe the older 00-03 compressors are still just on and off, but either way it is ICE cold through the Toyota evaporator, I can read down below 32F sometimes on the highway out the vents, no issues yet.

[@TDISwaps]

@user-mo5wu9hl9e yes head studs are a must, and limited boost until over 3000 rpm

[@user-mo5wu9hl9e]

If you lower the boost pressure a little does smoke appear? Why do I ask, if there is no smoke, then you can slightly reduce the boost pressure. the geometry is more open, it is easier for the engine to eject exhaust gases. Sorry for the English, Google translate) 

[@TDISwaps]

@user-mo5wu9hl9e I am sending full fuel on 260 nozzles, it definitely starts to smoke under about 2.2-2.4 bar, but more than that EGTs go even higher
