intro is dope and so is john, solid addition to bleepin! stoked for the following vids for the build.
Yup as soon as he came out in a suit.i was positive that was a dope baggie on the dash!
I can already tell Jon will do quality work with this build. It's nice to see someone taking pride in doing it right and building a nice vehicle. I still like the offroad beater type rigs, but there's something about a clean build that is simply refreshing.
Im so excited to see this new project! I have read a few things about the tdi swaps and I want to do it my self so bad! Im sure this series will help (not just me but a great number of other people!)
I have an 86 MJ with a very tired 2.5L. It was my daily driver for three years, but the engine is starting to have major issues. I am strongly considering a TDI swap. Thank you for all the info!
@8:00 LOL James made a hilarious face after his question. Good one kid!
FINALLY!!!! Been waiting for this series so I can pull the trigger. 🤘🏻
Hey Matt,. Just want to say I enjoy the channel tremendously. I've learned alot from your videos and even laughed a ton as well. I love the addition of Jeremy and Jon to the team. The editing in the 1.9 TDI swap video is frickin stellar! Keep up the great work!!!
Love it. This is one of the best videos seen in a while. Knowledge with a keen sense of humor. Doesn't get any better. Pay attention to me.
This is the greatest thing ever! I'm really excited to see the rest of the videos. Thank you guys so much!
This is the project I've been waiting for. Can't wait!
The new intro is great, but the bowtie is better
Super excited for this build. New intro is awesome. Looking forward to the rest of this build and John's videos. Would love to add a tdi jeep to my fleet. Just one of many great ideas in my head.
Awesome guy, Volkswagens and Jeeps have the best communities around them
This has been my dream project for some time now. Can not wait to follow this build through to completion.
i normally find these multi-part engine swap vids hard to tune in to but i can't wait for the rest of this series!
Dropping weight off the D30 and extending range are my reasons for pursuing this swap myself (ALH into an MJ). Oh and also the cool turbodiesel sounds!
Alan Townsend whoosh! Choo-choo! 🚂
Did you follow through with this?
Getting there! Project turned into a full blown restoration 🙄
@@alantownsend5468 hows it going now? Looking to do the same swap in my 89 mj
Introd was outstanding can't wait to see the next video
I can't wait for this series to unfold! I want to do a TDI swap in my 2000 TJ soooo bad but dont want to spend 20k for a company to do it.
Well done video. Looking forward to this series.
I like the intro and I think you’re very entertaining Jon. Some humor like Matt, just a little different brand of humor. I look forward to watching this build.
Ryan Vincent thank you Ryan!
So stoked for this! I'm trying to figure out what engine I want in my comanche build. TDI at the top of my list
PNW Born and Raised got a 1990 MJ doing this to started body work An prep using a 04 BEW code TDI motor for mine
PNW Born and Raised ..Vortec 350 and turbo 400 is the route I went with my Manche. More power and cheaper overall
Excited to follow this swap! 👍
Very excited for this series and build! I have a long history with VWs. I never did own a TDi powered VW, but this build series could end that soon enough.
I cannot wait to see the work that went into this swap!
Kudos for the new intro. 10/10. Great new Member. Great new Build.
finally a "daily like" build this is gonna be awesome!
My favorite class by far! Well done professor 👍
Pretty pumped for this one! Been researching this swap for a while!
Stay tuned my friend and we'll do our best to lay it all out for you :-)
AWYEAH! Been thinking about this project since my 4.O dropped the oil pressure quite significantly!
More energy and excitement in that opening than in all yalls videos put together.
I have a 2003 Jetta tdi (ALH)with a bigger (slightly) vnt-17 turbo and the stage 4 Malone tune makes about 155hp and 270ish tq bigger nozzles and a few other things. Can’t wait to see it i a Jeep. I also have a 1997 jeep xj with a 5.5 in lift would be cool to see how it drives.
Ps I get about 50 mpg lol
How do you get so much? All the info ive seen they're saying 28-32 which is obviously very attractive still. I had planned on doing basically what you did.
This is awesome! John is a great addition to the team!
Thanks ballsaglory, super honored to be a part of the crew!
Love that intro man!
Ok haven't even started the actual video totally dig the intro I would have to say best one yet
snag em n tag em yep Matt killed it with that!
Interesting, this could become popular in Europe or other regions where small diesel engines are very common.
Jeep sold the XJ in Europe with a diesel option and yes, it was popular
Gary Button yeah but the VM 2,5 was a horrible little diesel very unreliable and only 110 horsepower or so. At least the VAG tdis are reliable and have more power
Europe gets all the diesel things. That’s why we have to build them ourselves here!
Diesel vehicles are discouraged (higher road tax, etc) here in the Netherlands but you can get the engines cheap. It's likely the diesel engine will be phased out from cities and probably in general in the future. Interesting build though for the US. BTW, my xj has a petrol (not diesel) engine...
@@Chom112 Perhaps you should tell this owner about that: ruclips.net/video/IotlNtwmSFc/видео.html
cant wait to see part 2 !!!
DUDE!! That intro! Legit.
I’m liking this new fellow
I've got a 95 Wrangler with a 2006 1.9 TDI and a stage 1 tune, bone stock: more power and gets 30+mpg. cotybuilt can almost use them to power the jku but needed the 2.0 for all the weight. They're pushing around 240hp.
Thank you professor looking forward to the second class
Love the intro, glad to see some more XJ builds! Dont think i didnt notice that sexy grand wagoneer hangin out on the side of the frame!
kurikuri4sherm nice! Yes that’s another one of my builds to be revealed at a later time 😎
Been following him on ig for a while now, sick wagoneer project and recently this xj, all in a tiny garage, great stuff.
400 square feet buddy! Everything is in reach...literally :-)
thank you for this!
This is awesome professor!
This is cool, I like the Mercedes swap better but this is awesome to! Looking forward to the next videos.
onlychevys Williams vw is 1/2 the weight, gets better mpg, and makes the same power
@@trevordavis4728 and typically cost way less
just started building my Toyota LJ70 , 1.9tdi from the 1999 Golf 3 . Mechanical pump, sent it in hungary for tuning ( modding the inside of the pump, modding the injectors aswell .they said i will get 280hp
Everything for mounting the engine , even the adaptive plate for my gearbox will be made for me by someone i know.
Im so hyped for when its done z
This is gonna be awesome
Ohhhhhh. ..outside the box thinking...loving it...
I have a 2.5 TD VM engine in my 2000 XJ , big torque, Always after 300 000 KM. It was the stock diesel engine for Jeep and Chrysler in Europe. It's a fantastic engine with a low consuption, 10 l /100 KM.
I am looking forward to this series
this is a build I cannot wait to see
Great video, here in the european market most of our Jeep are diesel powered, KJs and JKs got a 2.8 CRD engine made by VM motori, very torquey engines, good amount of power and reliability too.
You may consider them for a diesel swap, they are ready to match Jeep transmission with no adapters then you can find them to the junkyard for cheap with all the wiring harness and its own ECM.
As a Jeep anthusiast , I'll be happy to help you buy and ship you engine and parts for you, just let me know.
Keep doing what you're doing guys, your videos are great.
In European markets that may be a great option. Here in the US we only got them in the KJ with an automatic transmission and production numbers were quite limited. I have never seen one in a salvage yard. Some years back I came across an early body style XJ with the 2.5 VM Motori but the price (had front end damage and they wanted $2500) and parts cost/availability scared me away.
Diesel, my drug of choice!
SMOKE SOME!
1) new intro is sick af 2) this is amazing and cant wait to see it 3) need to figure out the finer details for a tdi to WJ for myself (yeah big daddy gonna roll coal!) :P
That will be sick! WJ might be a good candidate for one of the newer TDIs too, but any way you go, TD Conversions has you covered with the adapter it's a beautiful piece. Personally I am a manual guy all the way so an AX15 or NSG370 would be my only choices, but I'd understand wanting to keep the Grand living up to it's name so AW4 would probably be a good choice for that build as well.
Awesome engine choice. Let's see how it works out.
Awesome video. Thanks.
Sweet, I’ve been trying to come up with a way to do this to my s10 haha
Loving this project
I have a 2005 4runner and I want to do the same thing. Keep up the work.
If you could get a hold of a toyota diesel itd likely bolt right up..
Definitely watching this
Awesome. I'm working on a similar build with my 88 yj. I got the same adapter as you.
You could kept the auto and used radesigns shifters. Would have to be a manual shift auto though.
MasterMoparMan great info!
That badass D35 rear is all you need. 2.07 gears and open diff you are ready for the Rubicon! :)
Sorry bud,that is a Chrysler 8.25 rear end.
That new intro is 🔥🔥
This is awesome.
This build sounds so cool I’m subscribing
Gabe Kiakojori welcome aboard!
Following this build. Wanting to do this myself
I can't wait for the next episode! I want a diesel MJ so bad!
Like the new intro!
Love the lil kiddo part hahaha. Totally Into makin my xj roll some coal! Can’t wait to see how ya did it!🧐
I am currently halfway through swapping a VW 1.8t gas engine using this same conversion kit. Been lots of fun so far. Super excited to watch how this goes
How did it go?
Great class professor
This guy is rad.
I think this is a fantastic idea. In Europe we have lots of small diesels in big vans. I've driven a 2.0 van with an all up weight of over 3 tones. Still had no problem at all on steep hills. The only time you will miss the 4.0 is when overtaking with oncoming traffic. I suspect it could use half the fuel and may have better touque low down.
The TDI has so much tuning potential though! The Jetta was quite snappy and I don't expect the XJ will be much of a slouch in comparison. I'm starting out stage 3 tuned, larger injectors, larger intercooler and 2.5" free flowing exhaust but I definitely plan to upgrade turbo and there's plenty of room for a compound setup in here if needed. Injection pump on mine is the 11mm from it being an automatic so I won't be running out of fuel unless I get to crazy high numbers. Best yet there's tons of strong clutch options for the AX15 so holding 200+ HP won't be a concern. At that point I'll be looking at a new rear for sure though!
Badass intro
Im doin the coty tdi swap. Cant wait.
the professor is awesome the editing is top notch. you need suede elbow patches.
James Hall shoulda good willed it. If the prof needs to be called upon again I’ll request a more specific wardrobe.
what f-r diffs and gears set are you putting in? thanks.very inspiring
Great video, do you think you can recoup any money through old engine, vw chassis, etc.?
STEVE you sure can. Not a lot though, I made back about $600 selling parts off the Jetta and maybe $3-400 from XJ parts. Gotta stay creative on how to keep projects funded!
This guy's good
Great video man, do you think a 3.0 TDI (from a Touareg) can be mated to the M5R2 manual transmission in an old ford F150 single cab?
Yes!
Nice intro!
I'm digging this. Come on with it ...
Great job nice build ! What about R2.8 crate Cummins? Little more money but its plug and play.
Eli Sancere what makes it plug and play? It’s a LOT more money! Still need an adapter to put an AX15 behind that too ya know
I love the VW TDI. I had a 2006 Jetta with the 2.0 and it was a super little car. VW bought it back from me because of the emissions debacle and I upgraded to a BMW 3.0 twin turbo diesel, also a great car. I could envision a VW TDI in just about any vehicle, they are that good.
Nice to meet you John. I'll be watching you for sure as this is looking rather sweet. Nate actually brought that tdi thought up with his TJ and since then I've been contemplating how to do mine, even tho I already have a diesel in my xj...but not the good VW TDI but the "weird" VM 2.5l tdi. Anyway, just before christmas I got my hands on a bmw m57d30tue2 with factory modified ecu and some 220hp for a good buck so I thought why not give that a try. Fuel eco is still very good, sitting at about 23mpg. So far I'm in the stage of testing it and getting some bits and pieces together but hoping to start dropping it in during summer. I think it might be quite interesting if I do it right. Anyways, cheers to you!
Martin Vojta sounds awesome, build it!!
that boy reminds me of my son!
teach him the things you know wile hes young!
I’ll keep looking I would love to see what you get for mpg I would love to do this to my xj but a lot over my Head I think 🤔 🤔🤔
Has this project been finished? I haven't seen any info on the final outcome (drive-ability, MPG, power ratio and so on)?
Any idea when more videos are to follow?
i have a 1996 jeep cherokee xj does the dana 35 rear end suppose to have thrust washers behind the spider gears or can i run it without them mine didnt have any when i pulled it out while replacing rear axle bearing and seals
I am doing this swap as I’m watching your videos what trans did you use ?
that jeep is very clean, i have a yellow xj like that but its more of a trail beater. might swap a 12valve
Had a mercedes om617 in a jeep, was perfect for crawling but sucked as a daily. For the cost of a tdi swap I decided to go with a built 4bt, so thats where im headed :D. I do look forward to seeing your swap!
What's the 4BT in? I am also building a Grand Wagoneer with a 4BD1T Isuzu 3.9L, 1 tons and 37s but that project hit the back burner when I got the urge to do this TDI XJ. I always felt the 4BT and similar were a little heavy for the un XJ personally but I've seen plenty of builds with them lately and they're definitely awesome.
Something is different... I like it another deisel guy
Pretty soon Mat is gonna just gonna sit back and wheel, while he plays Ted Turner of jeepin videos lol. I love it more content yes please
Nahh, I'm still here making videos... just nobody is watching them 🤣
I cant beleive i found this. I was just thinking the other day why spend all that money on a 4bt cummins when you can buy a tdi vdub for cheaper and damn near same power.
That's awesome! 4BT definitely has more power potential, but if you're talking about swapping into an XJ like I am, the TDI makes way more sense. A 4BT easily weighs double what the TDI does. I know a lot of people put them in XJs and MJs but personally I wouldn't swap one into something that doesn't have a true frame. Sounds like you're on the right track - good luck with your build!
nice
Why do you guys thinkn of the 2.8 Cummins for a swap? When I visited the Philippines they had them in Toyota Hiace vans with a 6 spd. It be cool to see one put onto a jeep.
