TDi Conversion??? - Rotary Diesel maybe???
Maybe one of you guys out there can give me some advice.
I'm thinking of getting a bus, would like to look into doing a TDi conversion on it using a 1.9TDi or 2.0TDi Golf/Jetta motor. I've seen many conversions like that done in the U.K, nobody tells what engine management system they use. My question is - do you get an aftermarket engine management system for TDi motors? Everything else is not too difficult to get or manufacture here.

Speak to Stuart Syncromad about this. He runs a mechanical pump on the 1.9 motor...

Re: TDi Conversion???
Hi Riaan
why a TDi? first, do a 2.0i Golf, rev better and drive nicer, my TDi is in a syncro, cruises nicely at 90-100, 2.0 i will cruise in the same set up, a syncro at 130/140 easily and top out at 170. take it you want to fit it to a bay. Golf 2.0 will be more fuel efficient and drive much nicer,

Re: TDi Conversion???
Well I was thinking of the TDi because it's not something you see everyday in S.A. I'm thinking it's not going to be as straight forward or easy as a w/c petrol conversion, the idea is to do it in a bay yes, had some experience with transplanting motors in them, I helped with a 2.0l skyline motor in my dad's double cab bay and a 1.8l golf motor in my uncle's bay..
? 2.0 Golf more fuel efficient than a TDi ?
I haven't been able to find any aftermarket management systems for diesel motors except the programmable one that Bosch does, but that's in the region of R80000-00 and that's just plain crazy!

Re: TDi Conversion??? - Rotary Diesel maybe???
Interesting that the weight is only 25kg for the smaller version and 35kg for the larger one.
It still uses sparkplugs, so it's not really a compression-ignition engine. Uses two-stroke oil. (Maybe it helps lubricating the rotor seals).
Fuel consumption of 300g/kwh is still thirsty and in the petrol engine class. (Newer generation TDI's and even 40 year old Deutz engines uses only about 200g/kwh) diesel.
Very interesting concept.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

(Just off the topic quick - Bugger, what management system do you use for the rotary motors?)

Re: TDi Conversion??? - Rotary Diesel maybe???
Let us know how that works, I've heard from a lot of people that Microtech is the best for running rotary's, I see Gotech say they can run rotary's too now, never seen or heard of somebody that used a Gotech on a rotary, I'm a bit sceptical about the Gotech..Bugger wrote:YvaneS wrote:Microtech?
