Impressive. Especially the 35 mpg pushing a square brick down the road. I had a mostly stock 98 TJ for nine years and was happy to see 16 mpg. Good job. Btw like your mini lathe too.

Nice swap, can't believe I didn't notice the video sooner. Hope all is well, if you still have the Jeep, how's the swap holding up? Do you by chance hang out on any Jeep swap forums and/or is there a way to pm you direct, tried the email link in the info section but it just links back to the channel(?) I would actually be willing to donate to the cause for some insight on the build, which only seems fair.

Nice setup. Got any more details on the engine mount crossmember? I'm looking to build something similar.

Great looking swap! Interesting choice of intercooler- how many miles do you have on that set up? Have a couple of those in the shop from an Audi part out and would be cool to utilize one in my swap of it's effective enough.

[@bdrmfg]

It’s the original intercooler from the VW Jetta, the air temp probe mounts into it. I have driven it for a couple summers, gets about 35mpg

[@North700]

Maybe it was mentioned in the video but I didn’t catch it, how many miles to the gallon do you typically get highway?

[@bdrmfg]

35 MPG

Really nice set up and I like the Idea that you still have the instruments and works with those 2 separate ecu s ! This has only heating or has also air conditioning ? It depends from Tj model ? Or you can put a Jetta on it if you want ? Last question : where someone can find the bracket between the engine and the transmission ? (The red one that you have) And also : what about the fuel pump ? It is the same an stock TJ ? Thank a lot !!! You have my dream car .. this is the proper engine in my opinion because it is really cheap to run it daily 😎

[@bdrmfg]

No AC, only heat. TD conversions makes the Red adapter plate, the injection pump draws fuel from the tank,

[@charlescaron5410]

Engine code is ALH
