Full LED lighting system on an 83 Vanagon diesel. Im trying to find the links to the products I used, but its been years and I have to work to track them down. I know the strip light that I used was the high intensity warm white (3000k) product from a company called Hitlights, usually on Amazon. A few individual LEDs on one segment of strip have failed for some reason but Ive used a lot of thei...

Vanagon TDI AHU Swap: Throttle Cable
Просмотров 5 тыс.7 лет назад
The original Vanagon Diesel throttle cable ended up being too short by about 1.5" when I put in the AHU, so I did a quick and easy reroute of the cable and gained more than enough to reach.

Vanagon TDI AHU Swap: Exhaust System
Did you ever end up adding a intercooler?
Nope. 8 years and 120k serious road trip miles later it still rocks just fine just the way it is. Im going to give it a bunch of attention soon, replace a bunch of stuff, so i might add one then. Or not. It works great without one.
And no EGT gauge either. Thats the thing, with no intercooler you have to be more mindful of EGTs. I do it by feel but for most people if you go without an intercooler id recommend an EGT gauge so you can be sure you’re not cooking your head, etc
Guys, I think I just saw Doc Brown and Marty running from a baywindow ! What's going on?
Hey jt did you use the factory exhaust rubber isolators or are those metal brackets bolted straight onto the engine mount? Thanks!
I did away with that setup long ago and have a stainless Vibrant resonator with 2” inlet/outlet, hung from the bumper with rubber H mounts. It ended up being more reliable than the factory setup. I need to make a new vid and delete this one.
Tremendously useful video, thank you for making this. 1z into an '82 Westy over here. The 1z/AHU is the best engine for Vanagon! All VW parts, no aftermarket or custom stuff needed. ALH is a lot more work to swap in, and the newer 2.0 TDI's are more complicated still.
Nice work. What glowplug relay are you using?
Amazing philosophy on life brother I’d hug you if I could. Currently a homeowner, but lived on my sailboat for a couple years… man I was free then. About to sell it all and cruise in my 83 1.9 D Vanagon when I retire in a couple years from the coast guard. I’ll be 39. Fishing and Surfing the west coast till I die. Lighter you live the further you go. Cheers! See ya out there 🤘🏻
Great job man. Good video. How is the clutch pedal? I've used a tdi flywheel, wbx disc and a vr6 presure plate. The pedal engages too low. Would you know what to do in this situation?
This video is awsome for me! I just now started to swap the origi al 1.6D engine to a AHU 1.9 TDI. I run into the problem with the clutch disc compatibility. I sould like to use the ABF gearbox, and i just jeyterday realized, the gearbox has a 20mm 24 teeth input shaft. Can you share me the part number for the clutch? Thanks a lot!
Hello, what was your work on the fuel filler modification from gas to diesel? did you drill it out?
Mine’s a factory diesel remember…..
Brand spelling?
What brand…the LED? I dont even know anymore.
hazard flasher switch is incandescent ;) Thanks for making the video!
Im sure it is, but it doesn’t affect the operation of the lights in any negative way. Hazards work normally
Thank You!!!
I’m looking to do this swap. I live in Vancouver Washington. If you still have this, I’d love to check it out!
van is in Canada...?
Great conversion, i love it. These AHU engines are far better than the modern 2.0 TDI. These original AHU water pumps are a little weak in the bearings but there's a reinforced aftermarket version. I installed one in my caddy a few years ago when the bearing gave up the ghost. I recommend installing it when converting knowing the tension on the serpentine belt is higher than originally intended for the WP.
Where did you purchase your adapter plate and flywheel?
Didn’t need them. Go watch my other vids
Didn’t need them. Go watch my other vids
I've been wanting to do this swap and as you mentioned there is no good info. Thank you very much for making these videos.
Just got a 98 jetta tdi ahu and would love to do this swap on my syncro !!! Is there a write up anywhere?
For a Syncro? Beats me. If its the same as a two wheel drive from the transmission back then this is your vid. But those things are oddballs so who knows. Sounds like its time for you to research it, build it, and make a vid about it
Hola!!🙋 Despues de tantos años que tiene el video.Han llegado a montar algun filtro de aire de algun coche modificado para entrar en el agujero y que funcione con el sistema de snorkel de fabrica? Agradecería su respuesta, gracias
No…yo no. Hay unos sistemas de filtro, como el K&N Orion, o el K&N Universal Off Road Air Intake 54-6853 que parecen bien chingones, pero tendrías que investigar y confirmar que tienen el fluye adecuado para el motor, por lo menos 210CFM. Tu Investigalo, y dinos aqui en los mensajes como ves
@@jtlachappelle anteriormente instale un K&N RG-1001RD y me fundió el caudalímetro el segundo día. He vuelto a poner el de fábrica. Quiero modificar el sistema instalando un cajón de algún filtro de algún coche que entre en ese hueco y aprovechar el snorkel porque el problema que tengo es que donde lo llevo instalado aspira aire caliente del motor. El problema es encontrar algún filtro que entre en dicho agujero y que se le pueda instalar la boca del caudalímetro.
what did you use for coolant
Oreilly’s Universal Coolant, in the gold bottle. Only thing i ever use.
I hate leds as a driver because they are blinding… but I can’t see the road with the lights I have….
How much oil does the ahu take when it's all mounted
I used the factory recommendation, i believe it was 4.7 quarts with filter.
what oil pump setup did you use
Factory Diesel Vanagon oil pump, from the original 1.6.
Which gearbox can be used, I think it's okay if someone knows maybe from another car?? say maybe Passat B5 or Audi A4 B5??? Please if anyone knows??? Thank you!
I dont know anything about which of those passenger car transaxles work. I do know that i crunched the ratios one time a long time ago and i believe i found that their ratios weren’t tall enough to be worth the hassle of hacking them in. Better to spend the money on a Vanagon tranny and build it right. But you go do your research first.
I love the colors of your van! Is there a specific name or color code for them?
The red is a Jeep color, Flame Red i believe. The white is a stock VW white for that year, Damuso White i think. Dont be poaching my look
The pictures helped a lot. Mine is a Doka, so that's why we did not have an issue with the pump hitting the lid: it's about 20 cm higher on top of the flatbed. But: these cars are like Lego. The parts can be replaced and bolt on straight, even though there's a 20 year difference between the 2 engines. My exhaust is still pending a stainless steel exhaust because it's currently rusting and ugly.
Ich möchte den Motor meines 2000er luftgekühlten T3 für ein Jahr ersetzen. Mein Auto ist Baujahr 1980 luftgekühlt. Weil sie sagen, dass der 2000-ccm-18-t-Turbomotor passt oder nicht. Übrigens, wie man ein Getriebe einsetzt
Where does the hose from the top of the waste gate go to?
The little 1/8” hose im assuming….that goes to the boost aneroid on the injection pump, and also to the boost gauge
@@jtlachappelle mine has a hose on the bottom of the wastegate going to the boost aneroid, but on the top of the wastegate there’s another nipple sticking out
where did you place the ECU? Was it on the right side rear area in the back behind the tail light? If so any water issues?
How did you watch this video and come away thinking it has an ECU? This is an MTDI build…mechanical TDI. No ECU. Mechanical injection pump. Watch my injection pump video.

Hi i installed reverse led bulb ligth and they shut off even the original bulb ligth doesn’t work now any ideas why ?
I live full time van life got my video games tv and hotspot pc in the working I’m still figuring out the conversion for space and what not but curtains are what I’m working on next wack ass people be calling the cops on me in a parking lot so I got a front window reflector but people be weird cops don’t care your living van life but people need to talk to you first before randomly calling the cops
Thatd be nice if people would come talk to us before calling the cops, but they wont, because they’re lazy AF, and they’re dicks, and afraid of homeless people, and afraid of what they dont know and understand in general. SO….thats why there’s Stealth Camping, and im afraid, my guy, that youre not doing it. Curtains are the VERY FIRST THING you do to a van if you’re going to live in it. Period. They come even before your bed, because you can always put down a Thermarest and sleep on the floor, but you cannot sleep properly without curtains. Then, even if you have a sweet curtain setup, like mine, you cant be hanging out playing games and shit at night in your sleeping spot when its time to stealth out. I mean, if you have some sort of absolute blackout setup maybe, like black painted cardboard under black tinted windows, fitted so there are zero cracks to peep through, where its absolutely impossible to see inside, maybe you can play with headphones, but then some snoopy bastard might hear the controller clicking or some shit, or hear you moving around in there. The bottom line is Stealth Camping is called that for a reason…because people have zero idea youre doing it. There are a lot of rules and tricks, like doing your eating and yoga and tooth brushing and shit someplace else, BEFORE you get to your spot, so you can roll up quietly draw the curtains and crash out. Now i have to make a full on Stealth Camping vid sharing all of the secrets I’ve learned over 26 years of doing it…long overdue…
Do Nice clean engine ☺️☺️☺️ nice man!!!!
Is that the stock AHU intake manifold? It does not look like it
It is the stock manifold. Cut and ground and polished, cut the EGR shit off.
@@jtlachappelle Got it. I really like your conversion, very Clean. What did you do for the exhaust? Curious about the downpipe etc. I am going to be dong a z1 in a Single Cab Syncro in the near future. Thanks
Btw, are you running 120a alternator? Peaple say that 140a one hits the lid.
What about engine noise? I 've tested my ahu engine near rear bumper with properly sealed exhaust, it reads 82dB which is really loud. Tail gate closed, motor lid also, but no rubber mat on top. Wondering if.it is normal loudness.
I have no clue about decibels. I just know my van sounds BITCHEN. With the open K&N filter and the stainless exhaust with resonator it sounds like a race motor, heads turn everywhere you go, and the noise level is fine inside going down the road. Just build it and drive it and don’t worry about it.
@@jtlachappelle oh, so sport filter might increase loundness? Forgot about influence of that. It is still long way before being able to drive ours, trying to figure out why starter keeps spining with the motor, even though solenoid works fine. And same kind of alternator (140amp br-14h) not charging the battery. Btw really appreciate your videos man!
Sport filter definitely increases loudness, but in a good way, sounds killer. And you have to have a high flow filter on these, makes a monumental difference. If you dont like the noise K&N makes enclosed high flow filters. Just dont choke it off with shitty small diameter plumbing
genial en subtitulos en español ¡¡¡
Ps si pero no sabría como hacerlo…ya estan puestos los vids y tendría que quitar y subirlos de nuevo, y perdería todo creo. O no se la verdad
Where’s the oil cooler
You mean an external oil cooler? Dont have one. Set everything up right and these things run ultra cool.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I definitely subscribe to your channel. I am the 'Next Guy''
Really good video! Thanks
What's that blue wall behind the engine (separating the engine bay and the cabin)? Is this something for noise insulation? If so what material is it and how did you build it so it can come down when you need to camp? I am thinking of doing something like this from plexiglass foldable wall to have less engine noise in the cabin
Thats just the bed lifted up to expose the decklid and engine bay.
Hi, this is a late diesel cable? I've just replaced mine thinking I had wrong cable but still too short, can you explain how you mounted it on other side, and how you routed it into the engine bay? Will I actually get some more length this way, 1y with standard fuel pump and throttle bracket (welded shorter) repositioned the engine and found cable too short
Its the original cable for all I know. And i got the van 21 years ago with 50k miles so im probably right. I dont remember how I routed it. Doesnt the video show that?
I just watched the vid, first time in years, and i do show how I rerouted it. As for how it comes into the engine bay, I thought that was pretty obvious too. Just pokes up in there.
Hello, I do have 3 point exhaust manifold from the original 1z engine, but it interferes with the original engine mount, which I want to keep. Guess this solves that issue. Do you experience any issues with the turbine being so high? Oil is returning to oil pan as it should? Thank you!
I am also thinking of fitting an AHU engine, I have a doka T3 so there is no need to lower the engine. Does the AHU engine use the same engine mounts as the 1.6 jx Td or do I need to make modifications?
No idea on the JX. The original 1.6NA did have the same mounts, if you watch my Problems and Solutions vid i believe i talk about all of the things that carried over.
Thank you for your reply.
My 98 jetta tdi ahu never had working radiator fans. Light tune kerma chip and p520 nozzles. Drove it for many summers like 10 yrs. With no problems over heating in pa/md/wv area. Now the motor sits as the body rotted out. That motor is going in my dunebuggy still back and forth on mtdi or etdi. I bought another 98 jetta tdi that run as my daily driver. One of the many reasons i love these motors.
hi which k&n filter can used link is not working
Would love to see a Mexico video!
Which one was the high beam? Blue??
Good job on a factory looking swap 👍
Cool, thanks man. Still running perfect, good as new
Lovely color combination red and white. Just was wondering why would cops bother you when you are sleeping inside your car?
