Ebay find: 3x GTD turbo diesel motors

[LD50]

Not sure if these will be of interest or even fit in a syncro but again, don’t see many of these up for grabs:

If anyone is interested in doing a Diesel Syncro conversion, then I have a 020 (rodchange) gearbox which has had the diesel final drive fitted in place of the petrol one, so your diesel conversion will not be revving its guts out at 70 mph, the gearbox is a direct replacement for your original box & requires no modifications to fit.
please contact me for details

Do you reckon the syncro box will fit with all the turbo gubbins hanging down there? looks like it would be pretty tight back there. I bet the wiring would be a lot simpler than most other engine swaps tho.

Given the fun (and mpg) I get with my audi I kinda want one of these GTD motors to experiment with but some might argue I have enough engines kicking about already so 3 more might be a bit overkill 😉

You would probably have to get a bit creative with the inlet/exhaust pipework & the turbo mounting but it should all go in.
after all VW did make a Golf 3 Syncro Diesel I think?

ah I didn’t know they made one already.. hmm interesting. Do you know roughly what would need to be changed to do a TDI conversion on say a golf driver? They already have the GTI look and I would imagine there wouldn’t need to be too much changed.

Do you know what sort of management/ecu the GTD has if at all? TDIs tend to respond very well to a remap (e.g. like my audi) but I presume only if they have a computer 😉
