This is the first Video of the conversion.
The Picture montage shows the Kit I got from FastForward (now defunct), the removal of the gas engine and the cleaning and installation of the rebuilt 1.6 turbo diesel engine.
The music is an instrumental version of my song "The Underground Sound".

  • All is well

    Many Bumps along the mechanical road.. of course

    This Week I'll be revealing the completed project.. Vegegon will be revealed

  • I'll post a new video very soon with the High Torque Starter I ordered from California, and I'll show the Old Rabbit starter that I unsuccessfully modified, trials and errors.

    Soon it will run!

  • I just called up FastForward as listed in a google search and the guy on the phone didn't

    know anything about diesel. They just sold

    Miata superchargers. Can you give more information on this?

  • The company that makes the Flywheel and Adapter Plate (Kennedy Engineering Products) are still in business , but FastForward (who assembled the kit)no longer exist. But, the KEP adapter kit is the most crucial part to this conversion, unless you're a machinist and can whip up a flywheel. They make adapter kits for the TDI engine as well. My kit was designed for the 4speed 091 Transmission with a 1.6-1.9 VW block.

  • Where have ya been man? Lost contact with your projects, ARG! Keep us updated..

    Regards, --S

  • Back at it now.

    I'm so behind on the latest HHO info.. that last breakthrough I saw was your clamshell approach.

    I'll have to watch your new vids before I try anything with HHO.

see all

  • Good idea.

    I was going to say that it wouldbe slow but the flat 4 engines r not very fast.

    U can bolt on ancilliariers from the TD engine and get good power.

    Do u have a bosch fuel pump?

    If lucas u will nead a twin tank system and only use warm fuel otherwise pump failure/ seizure will occur.

    What would be good is a passat TDI engine with 130bhp!

  • nice job.i have one vanagon with 1.8liter. watercooled (jetta engine). run great but needed one speed .the transmision is four speed. i want adapted diesel engine. sorry my english is bad nice video and music thanks from mexico.

  • Is there a website that for this conversion ? who makes that transmission adapter

  • I like the music
