Title: diesel conversion info needed
Post by: serioushorsepower on April 27, 2008, 04:01:23 AM

does antone have a picture of the adapter plate used to put the 1.9l vw diesel engine that goes in between the engine and automatic transmission (4x4)?? I have everything else to convert my toy but this plate. and they want an arm and half my leg just for the plate. I figure I could make my own with the plasma cutter and drill press. If anyone has a pic of it please let me know. thanks, Serious.

I am also considering doing the VW swap in the summer, but i need to find a good engine first... How much did you get yours for? and where ... a pull it yourself yard?
I found this picture
(http://www.roadlessgear.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/vwkit.jpg)

Its not from Acme but its from ROADLESS gear....
I unfortunately dont have a plasma cutter or the experience with a lathe, so i will probably go with the ACME because you get everything for the switch. and more wiring.

Both Mazda 2ltr TD and Peugeot 1.9TD were OE installations outside the US.

The conversion kit through acmeadapters will work on all trackers up to 98 I believe. I think thats wjat one of there sales reps told me. I was just trying to find someone who makes the adapters to get it a tad bit cheaper that what eveyone else is wanting. Thanks,Serious.
