[Vwdiesel] Info on Ecodiesel motor and request for gas to diesel conversion info

[Hayden Chasteen]

OK gang, today I drove down almost to San Antonio (about 3 1/2 hrs one 
way) to pick up the turbodiesel engine that I found.  Turns out that it 
is a 1V, ecodiesel engine.  I have checked it out and it looks good 
although covered with oil from a leaky valve cover gasket and a broken 
oil filler cap.  I was really amazed at how small that turbo its.  
Well, now for the questions.  Other than the size of the turbo and the 
injection pump, are there any internal differences in this engine that 
sets it apart? Does it have pistion squirters?  What pressure are the 
injectors set at?  Should I use them with my spare turbo pump or swap 
them out for a set of "real" turbo injectors?  The small turbo looks is 
about the size of the ones on my TDIs.  It must spool up pretty fast 
giving maximum boost really quick.  What is the maximum boost and can I 
adjust the waste gate to up it?  Also, can anyone scan and send me the 
Bentley sections covering this engine or point me to that Russian site 
that has the manuals on it.  I know, questions, questions.  I will most 
likely be asking even more as I begin the conversion on the '82 
Scirocco.  Those of you who have done the conversion of a gas to a 
diesel car, drop me a line off list and let me know the ends and outs 
of the process.  No sense reinventing the wheel if someone has already 
puzzled through the process before.  thanks, Hayden
