THE 2025 PRE-ORDER PERIOD HAS PASSED. THESE WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN IN 2026.
This pre-order period will run until Feb 24, 2025. On Feb 24, I will tally up all of the pre-orders and order enough material to manufacture them. Shortly after that point, I will be able to confirm what the final price will be. It will take probably 6-10 weeks to manufacture the kits after Feb 24th. I've gotten a qoute for the time and material to make just ONE kit. The final cost if only ONE person orders a kit will be $999. The more people we have order kits, the more that $999 price will come down.
As of 2/15/25, if 1 more person orders, the final kit cost will be $899.
Note, if you need a BHW adapter, please contact me to order those options separately. To keep this simple, I am not going to flood this product page with all those extra options, but they ARE available to you. This kit comes with a 10" flywheel. The 9-1/4" has been discontinued. Motor mounts available HERE for ALH & newer, or HERE for AHU.
The Clocked VW 1.9 TDI to R150 Adapter Kit will mate your VW 1.9 TDI donor motor to your stock Toyota 5-Speed manual R150 transmission with the engine clocked 15° towards the RH side to help clear steering/suspension in Suzuki Samurai's, as well as older (≤95) Toyota's. All hardware is included, as well as the adapter plate, dust shield, custom pilot bearing (commercially available), starter spacer, and custom ARP flywheel bolts. You also have the option to add a brand new, stock-sized, 9-1/4" flywheel, or upgrade to the 3.4L's 10" flywheel. The flywheel is machined to the TDI crankshaft pattern and is ready to be bolted on. The new flywheel comes neutral balanced. The 9-1/4" flywheel uses your stock 1988-1995 clutch. The 10" flywheel uses a clutch from a 1996-2004 Toyota Pickup/4Runner V6 4x4. The throwout bearing must match whichever bellhousing you're using; if you're using a 1990 bellhousing, you'll need a throwout bearing for a 1988-1995 V6 Toyota Pickup/4Runner 4x4. You can use a starter from a 3VZE or a 5VZE. The 3.4L starter has a higher 1.8KW output option referred to as a "Cold Weather Package" option.
This kit works for any TDI as well as the 1.8L gassers, as they all share the same block pattern. For the BHW, a special pilot bushing is available. Keep in mind that the turbo-to-starter clearance is minimal, and you may need to relocate your turbo or run an aftermarket manifold/turbo with this clocked arrangement.
