Eren-

You would be FAR better off buying a TD motor, than trying to cobble one
together. The stock VW TD differs from the stock Diesel in many ways. For
example: lower initial compression, different pistons, different head
gasket, different injectors, piston-cooling oil squirters, etc...

In theory, at least, you *can* just bolt a bunch of turbo stuff onto the
1.6 block, but the result wouldn't be anywhere near as reliable or
long-lasting as the real deal.

Subject:        1.6D to 1.6TD

Hi vanagoneers,

I want to install a turbo to my 1.6 diesel westy , I was thinking to
install
a 1.9 TD engine but here its about 4000$ (in Turkey) so I decided to
install
a turbo to my existing engine . From outside 1.6D and 1.6TD looks similar
but some people told me the lubrication holes in the engine blocks are
different.

so is it possible to install the turbo on with just having manifolds turbo
and diesel injection pump ? did anyone do this or heard ?

86 diesel westy.
