samurai diesel vw turbo diesel, 1.9 aaz

1988 Suzuki samurai, AAZ 1.9 VW turbo diesel engine, acme adapters conversion kit. Low range transfer case E-brake kit which rattles non stop and is annoying as hell. Also used their rear disk brake kit... Its a fun little cruiser. The front hitch shrock works bumper is really handy and I constantly use the sammy as a tug to easily move trailers around the yard etc.

That is one bad mama jamma, I've been wanting to covert my 1990 to diesel. This the way I'm going to go! Also bad ass Beetle :)

[@envygreen8188]

Thanks for the love! Ya, I’ve had that 1956 beetle since I was 16 aka 1994.

[@me-qx2rp]

@@envygreen8188 So we are both old! Niiice I did buy another Sammy , 1994 I'll 1.9l the 1990

[@evinsteven13]

Good looking swap! My buddy works at lowrange, and has the tcase brake on his sami, and we both agree, it rattles like crazy. But it does work nice!

Nice samurai..luv it

[@wooodrow99]

Whoa, whoa! The TDI Samurai brought me here but what’s up with that Jetta-mino in the driveway?!

[@hans-dz3sn]

wooodrow99 I bought a totaled golf Tdi and built it into a truck, it’s a work vehicle for my business, one of my employees drives it. It looks much better now that it has a wrap on it.

[@wooodrow99]

🤘🏻Kuuuhl ride.

[@WW5RM]

For what is worth the title says AAZ which is not a TDI. Its only a Turbo Diesel which isn't much better than the 1.6TD.

[@Hallnick77]

Idle seems kinda high... but other than that super clean ride.. definitely something I would own

[@envygreen8188]

You’re kinda high.

Ce cutie de viteze folosiți?

[@hawkmoto1760]

Do you have oil temperature gauge? How did you hook it into aaz?

[@envygreen8188]

I believe it’s coming off the acme adapter oil filter housing, it’s been 7 years I’ll verify and if you don’t hear from me that was the correct answer.

[@hawkmoto1760]

Thank you sir!

[@smoothdemon2]

Approx how much $ do you have in that Sammy?

[@envygreen8188]

hopefully less than 10k. I have about 10 cars currently and I try my best not to add stuff up, otherwise I'd probably come to my senses and sell it all!

Nice! What kind of front driver/passenger seats are those?

What gearbox did you use

[@DavurBeder]

Does this require any modification to the gearbox?

[@hans-dz3sn]

DavurBeder not internally.

[@randyfernandez4263]

at what temp does the fan come on

[@Dan-tx1ch]

Whats the max speed of this rig and tire size?

[@hans-dz3sn]

Dan Parkinson about 70 and it’s on 31’s. Samurai transfer case works a little different then most so you kinda get to chose street or dirt for gearing.

[@Dan-tx1ch]

@@hans-dz3sn Thanks for the reply, is that running stock samurai drivetrain? Axle Gears, transmission etc?

[@hans-dz3sn]

Yes it is

[@hans-dz3sn]

Numb nuts that was posting about tdi’s and 1.9 not being a upgrade over 1.6 doesn’t understand that you’d have to plumb in all electronics to use a proper Tdi, or use a mechanical pump on the Tdi, but at the end of the day a 1.9 tuned makes way more power than a 1.6. I’ve driven both. Going past a tuned and dialed 1.9 TD you’ll be rebuilding Sammy drivetrain allot!! Plus this is still a 1 wire mechanical engine

[@traxoffgrid]

How does one get ahold of you

[@hans-dz3sn]

What’s going on?

[@traxoffgrid]

@@hans-dz3sn I bought a aaz motor for my samurai and have some questions on the install my email is [e-mail]

[@hans-dz3sn]

Email bounced back, post questions here, I’m sure it can help someone else as well

[@traxoffgrid]

Just wanna know where. You got some of your parts and also some of the things you did on installing with oil cooler and glow plugs light

[@hans-dz3sn]

Keep the stock cooler because that is how you’ll warm up the oil as well. Then coming out of the stock cooler you’ll use a oil cooler thermostat which will bypass the next new cooler until it’s warm, you can also re-route the stock filter and install a related one if you’d like more space. It gets tight in there fast. Thermostat looks something like this: Derale 25719

[@JoseOrtega-xn4mj]

Want too sale it?

[@sailorsanjoy]

Is it 4x4 ? Most diesel conversions are 4x2

[@hans-dz3sn]

sailorsanjoy not sure about that, in this case it’s 4x4
