I am thinking of replacing my OM617 swap that is in an 83 Toyota with the 1.9 TDI. Anyone done this? Know of any links or sources and if you have done so? Advantages, challenges, etc...
Seems expensive, strenuous, and probably counter-productive. Have you done the performance upgrades to the OM617? It makes more power with a 7.5mm pump than the TDI will with a tune.
Thanks. I have not done the calculations of cost to install the TDI or it's hp difference. OM617 is heavy and definitely not the low end torque all my other diesels possess. OM turbo upgrade and then a pump will be my next most logical and less strenuous option
Did you ever continue with the swap? I’ve considered it a lot only for the smaller size of the engine.
