this is a 1.6ltr and moves the truck very well.I have the fuel turned up and the wastegate closed.I made my own adapter plate and machined the toyota flywheel to fit the vw crank.

  • Yes but your sliding it into the clutch thats already on the engine block.So you can space it out if u have to.In this case only a small spacer a couple mills thick was needed

  • its not vacuum its positive pressure (boost)line

  • The motors out of an 86 jetta.

  • Theres a guy in canada that did the swap and hes getting 35mpg mixed.The problem is you have to turn up the power to move the truck nicely,which inevitebly raises fuel consumpstion

  • Nope its working.Theres a high volume oil pump in there,and it was 32 degrees out. rotella 15w-40.

  • i have a 1966 chevy van,,,,do you think one of my 1.6 diesel engines will work?????

  • Nice sounding diesel. How about taking it for a drive? See how she performs?

  • dude its super cool.. i love toyota

  • nice!

  • gimme gimmme gimme!

  • @2253benjamin not always the case for diesels. it would be cool to see a common rail injection swapped into a newer taco

  • Nice work! More people should be doing this swap. Nice little project.

  • when u make adaptors for the transmission doesnt the thickness of the adaptor plate mean that the splines dont go into clutch plate as far?
