Its widely considered the best engine EVER. What does /o/ think about it?
>>29104894>1.9>diesel>germanlmao no
>Its widely considered the best engine EVER.Source? It's okay I guess, had one in the early 0s and it did its job in hauling the wifoid around without any issues.Ended up boosting it to around 200hp or so (claimed) with a bigger pump, cooler and turbo.
>>29104894One of very few cases where the engine is basically guaranteed to last longer than the car its put inside of. Regularly see them for sale with 3, 4, 500 thousand miles. Timing belts and occasional injection pump rebuilds are all they need to keep running forever, and in fact you ran run these with no electronics at all.
>>29104894I think you posted the wrong one, the ALH is the reliable one
>>29104928I have one that has no electronics, I converted it, wouldn’t really recommend it though as the VNT is really nice to have
>>29104925>>29104936THIS Gas Babies cant comprehend an engine that gives it's native car 50mpg while lasting to a million miles without any rebuilds
>>29104928>>29104936Was gonna sayMy post was contingent on op talking about the ALH and not the BEW. They are the same displacement.
>>29104943>a million milesWho really gives a shit?Average yearly mileage in europe is 7,000. In the U.S. its 14,000.Why the fuck do you care if the engine will last 140 years?Are you going to drive the same rusted out piece of shit from high school to your funeral?Theyre 100% poorfag cope. (You) NEED 50mpg because paying an extra 40 bucks at the pump is enough to cause you to be short on rent.
the idle sound is very pleasing and they feel very nice to drive. however I hate vagshit so I'll keep driving inline 6 ws and classic mercedes-benzes
>>29104963Anon thinks richfags ditch their reliable commuter car the second they make it bigI got news for you buddy
There's like 100 different variations of these. What is the best one for a mechanical injection conversion?
>>29104989ALH already has a mechanical injection pump
>>29104894>Its widely considered the best engine EVERBy euros. Like it or not, America has the widest variety of currently produced engines sold and always has. Over here, it's known to be good, but isn’t in the top 5. LS, 2JZ, 6BT, K20, SBC, Ford 7.3, ect are far more deserving of the title.
>>29104990Not quite, it’s a VE at heart but they removed the mechanical governor system and replaced it with an injection quantity controller, it’s called a VP37, they can be converted to manual but it’s a massive undertaking which requires multiple pumps to be cannibalized, better off just getting a rover 300tdi pump
>>29104997>7.3ps I wouldn’t include any engine that uses unit injectors in a reliability ranking unless it’s gonna be near the bottom
>>29104987This entirely depends on what you want to drive. Some millionaires Drive toyota. Some Drive range rovers. Some put the trophy wife into a Lambo urus. Having a lot of money just means you have access to all the options.
>>29104999The 7.3 does a zillion miles and you fucking know it
The end of the alh tdi was also when the world started to turn extra gay. Think about it..
>>29104894>Timing belt
>>29104928>One of very few cases where the engine is basically guaranteed to last longer than the car its put inside of.Impressive considering VW chassis are some of the best against rust
>>29104894Not even Volkswagen's best engine
Yeah unless its the one with unit injectors. How did everyone convince themselves that worse fuel consumption, failing injectors, injector seats getting loose left and right, camshafts made of some kind of swiss cheese are signs of a great engine is beyond my comprehension.
>>29105072>1.9, a legendary workhorse that makes stupid amount of torque>VR6, the 'I didn't get the 1.8t because I want to be special (still buys VAG)'
>>29105068You say that but VW stopped zinc coating them at some point. I think after 2008 but i might be wrong. Apparently boomers were gassing themselves when welding on them but i think it was penny pinching after the economic crisis.
>>29105081>passenger car diesel disgusting
>>29104987>he thinks people of wealth drive some VAG plastic shitbox....
>>29105151>he thinks they dontLolLmao even
>>291051081.8t still mogs
>>29104940you can have pneumatic vnt
>>29104894I think the SBC is better.t. V8 enjoyer
>>29105166>he thinks the parking lot at the yacht club is full of VW golfs and corollas....Tell me youre poor without actually saying youre poor.....
>>29105264>retarded timing belt and chain at the same time setupew
>>29104894Yeah I think I have one of those in my go-kart.
>>29105264Imagine if that car had an engine that actually produced power
>>29104963I used to drive about 40k a year. Got real tired of fueling up a V8 gasser. Just made sense to go more economical.Portip: The millionairs I personally know are stingy. Im talking, still shopping at Aldi and dailying a 17 year old car and they take their "nice" car out every other weekend.
>>29104999who tf thinks a 7.3 ps is reliable. when people say 7.3 and reliable in the same sentence they're all talking about the idi
>>29105481>The millionairs I personally know are stingy. Im talking, still shopping at AldiThose arent "millionaires"Those are people drowning in debt and trying to impress their neighbors.My 401k is well over a million dollars.My house is paid off and worth more than a Bugatti.Penny-pinching is a sign of financial collapse.
>>29104894I was in an uber once in a manual vw idk what engine it was but it was the only time ive been in a car and actually thought wow this car sounds terrible. it sounded like the engine didnt match the transmission or something. it didnt sound like a vacuum cleaner because it actually made a lot of noise like it was struggling in an annoying way similar to a vacuum cleaner. i dont really see many vw cars around but i like the sound of the vr6. whatever they are putting in their other cars probably your op engine was the only time ive ever heard a car sound terrrible. normally not a good sounding car is just quiet or vaccumy not genuinely bad.
>>29105540>a manual vw idk what engine it was but it was the only time ive been in a car and actually thought wow this car sounds terribleYep.Thats the engine this thread is about.
I've been seriously thinking about swapping one of these into my Suzuki Samurai. Only major issue is the gearing on the zuki drive train is so low that the VW would be red lining at 65mph. I've looked around and can't find taller gearing for the diffs. I know it's a fairly popular swap in Samurai's, but I want to be able to drive to the trails, not tow to them. I also like driving it around town.
>>29105586Neighbor has a 350 sbc samurai.Its the most common in my world.Why would you do some a 1.9 when better options exist?
>>29105586increase your tire diameter
>turbo diesel lasts a long timestop the press!!!!!!!!
>>29105600Because I want to keep the vehicle as light as possible and I dont want to spend the money upgrading everything else. Much more than 130hp and you have to replace the transmission, diffs, axles and upgrade the suspension to handle the extra weight.What makes the Samurai such a capable off roader is it's light weight, they are only 2200lbs. Most of the offroading in my area involves a lot of sand, and the Sammi is so light I rarely even have to put it in 4wd. All the jeep guys are in 4wd as soon as they hit the sand.
>>29105809I'm considering it, but to get much more tire under it I would need to lift it. I dont mind a minor lift, but I like using it as a semi daily driver and too much lift makes it terrible on paved roads.

>>29105600350 Big Black Cock can't run used waste oils as fuel. Also it'll be super fuel efficient
>>29105512No, some people are just frugal like that. Not every rich faggot devotes their lives to flexing on poor people
>>29106115>dur hur used waste oilShut the fuck up faggot.The 5 quarts from your last oil change doesn't mean jack fucking shit.Youre not hauling 55 gallon drums away from the local jiffy lube because that requires hazmat certification AND epa permits. A shop isnt going to risk their business license plus prison time just so you can save a couple.bucks, especially when they have a contract with someone who pays them for their used oil.So eat a dick you clueless basement dwelling nowrench nocar LARPing little bitch.
>>29106149They actually have to pay to have that oil taken away, one of the shops I’ve gotten oil from said it was 300 dollars to have it taken
>>29106149
>>29106123Ya sure dude.>Theres tons of millionaires who rent studio apartments in the ghetto so they can save money and get even richer...Thats the equivelant. See how stupid it sounds?Youre an idiot thats never been around wealth. There are parking lot codes just like dress codes. If you pulled up to the Ritz Carlton New York in a 20 yearold Golf the valet would kindly ask you to go park it in the side lot yourself and never bring up front again.
>>29106149You gas babies always get so asshurt when diesel bros bring that up. There are several small shops in my area that advertise on Facebook Marketplace that their waste oil is free. One time I spilled a a few gallons in front of my home. The EPA did show up and asked me about it. I told them I was running it as fuel and they told me it was okay as long as I didn't make a mess. Understand not everybody wants the same engine and same build.
>>29106156Shut the fuck upAs usual you dont know what youre talking about.
>>29106167Or do I?
>>29106167>Exempt for small shipments under 55 gallons.You reinforced my point.>X amount in the fuel tank>54 gallons or less being transported.>Make multiable trips if you have too it's free fucking fuel.
>>29106170>of your own used motor oilFucking retard.Im hazmat certified, dumbfuck.I do this for a living and am quite familiar with the law.
>>29106176Uh oh, you better do something about this dude>>29106174
>>29106170Youre a fucking failure at everything you do.
>>29106178Oh no, the AI didn’t say the exact thing I wanted it to!Guess I’ll ask it to generate me something else that makes me right
>>29106174I’ve always wanted to try TDI swapping a crown Vic just because I know some autistic dude would love to own it, would have to make it a manual though
>>29106160You can Google it retard
>>29106177>>29106178Again the EPA did not care that I was collecting waste oil just to use it as fuel.
>>29106189Is that an IDI truck? I recently got a dually one of those, should be a fun project once I’m done with the second TDI jeep
>>29106182I'm that autistic fuck I been looking for a clean 92-97 5 window Aerobody Crown Vic to be the donor car. A few years ago someone dropped a Cummins 4BT into a whale (1998-2011). It's still on YouTube. I believe the man claimed like 32 or 35mpg highway and that just sounds good to me. I'm sure you could bump that up higher with a different engine or gear ratio. Certainly better than the 19mpg I would consistently get with the several P71s I've owned.
Mogged to death by the M57
>>29106196I bet the TDI would be better, I know a guy with a square body with a 4bt swap and he gets 19mpg, which I thought was a bit low because my 6bt truck gets 20-24 empty, I think the 1.9 would be better suited to a car than the 4bt, also lighter and smaller which is always nice
>>29106192Yessir. Was my first IDI. Great trucks. Non turbo. Just great, reliable, extremely simple. LS Gas Babies can't comprehend enjoying a mechanical diesel.>>29106200Yeah absolutely. I used to own a Mercedes with the NA OM606. Since then felt it would also be a good candidate for the panthers>>29106198BMW scares me not gonna lie, no issues with owning a TDI. I sure love it.
>>29106180Your own post proved you wrong on multiple aspects and youre too fucking stupid to even understand what it says.You're pathetic.
>>29106227Doesn't matter. Was told face to face by the EPA that's it's okay for me to collect , transport , store and use waste oil as free fuel. Pretty much any mechanical diesel can run it unfiltered and 100% with zero dilution. My common rail sure wont
>>29106227Didn’t even read it 2bh, ain’t got time for that shit I let AI do my arguing now, I’m too busy doing engine swaps and shit >>29106229Based honestly
Which of the TDIs and SDIs are good with veg oil?At most is CR engines are dogshit and PD engines range from can survive dilute to raw-dog (aside warm up and solidification)
>>29106236>get proven wrong>refuse to respond>attempt to redirect conversationRight on schedule.Youre a worthless shitstain thats incapable of telling the truth. Your entire existence is one bullshit excuse after another.
>>29105512Dunno about the US but it's fairly common in the EU to see successful small business owners live humbly and drive 20+ year old shitboxes despite being millionaires. They were raised in conservative households that shunned debt and vanity. The only thing they really splurge on are large villas in wealthy suburbs.
>>29106535If I show you my bulge will you calm down?
>>29104894400HP EZ
>>29106597Yeah okay retard
>>29106632It was real in my head
>>29106588>Degenerate dogfucker resorts to degeneracy on an automotive board when everything else fails.What a worthless piece of shit.Dont forget that the majority of people on this site and in the real world will rejoice at your death when the AIDS finally takes you.
>>29106198Yeah I don't know why you'd swap a 1.9 or an 606 when the M57 exists. It's the LS1 of diesels.
>>29106641>>29106535I lost track. Is it you who thinks you can't just collect waste oil and transport it or is it the trip fag? Trip fag has already affirmed my claim that the EPA doesn't give a shit.
>>29106957Changing your friends oil and taking that 7 quarts home to store in a drum in your garage to burn later in a vehicle or space heater is 100% legal.Ive never said otherwise.Bur you can not go to jiffy lube or autozone and haul off their used oil, not even 1 gallon. That hazmat exemption is when an end user is disposing of 2 gallons. Once autozone is in possession of it its hazardous waste and is an accountable item.Hauling a 55 gallon drum full.of oil is illegal. And so is drunk driving. You've probably done both.Nobody on this forum has access to enough used oil to make it worthwhile.The cute little larp about "i run my diesel on used oil!!" when in reality it was 1% of your fuel consumption is disingenuous
>>29106998I've literally pulled barrels from shops because they have advertised on Marketplace that they had free oil. The best source are small detail shops that only clean cars and do basic oil changes. The chances of getting contaminated oil are a lot smaller>Pull up in 7.3 IDI.>Use their pump to fill both my fuel tanks.Cool, now this 55 barrel is about 30.>forklift it int onto my bed.Fun fact I actually worked at a Jiffy Lube part time to supplement my income. The recycling company that was supposed to empty their tanks dident want to come for a few weeks. I ended up harvesting the oil from the fresh oil changes and would just keep it for myself. Manager said okay so why not?You just love shitting on people. It's not like the EPA patrols the street and checks people's cars and trucks for waste oil. Not like local police give a shit.
>>29106998Fun fact a naturally aspirated Mercedes with an OM606 gets 30MPG running 100% waste oil in the winter. That's a 600 mile range with a full 20Gallon tank.
>>29105938And how much more weight do you add upgrading everything else in the drive train to handle the extra power? The TDI with a swap kits bolts up to stock parts. It's not like I have an unlimited budget either.
>>29107067Gas Babies can't comprehend having fun without building a 800HP LS motor And you do what you want to do with the Suzuki is more than reasonable especially with the nice low end torque the ALH provides. You could even build it to make 300HP and damn near 600 ft lbs of torque.
I believe this is the engine Casey Putsch used for his ~100mpg car.
>>29106998in my yuropoor country waste oil is illegal to use as fuel or in an oil burner. only the government and corporations are allowed to do that.
>>29107194Jeez I didnt think any euro country was that bad.
>>29107035indirect injection diesels are an affront to God
>>29104894>1.9LIs it a lawn mower?
>>29107067You dont have to run an 800hp monster LS.The point was that people think a 4 banger is a fraction of the weight of a V8 and thats just not true.You could run the Buick/Rover V8 and have a 4.6L for 50 pounds LESS than the TDI.
>>29107423I dont think you are comprehending how little power the zuke drive train can take. A stock 5.3 LS is way too much power for it. Even a stock 2.0l K series is pushing what that drive train can handle.
