The swapping of my 1.6 n/a from a 90 diesel jetta into a 90 gasser jetta is
almost complete.
I removed the cat from the gas exhaust; can I run the 2 gas mufflers with my
diesel engine, or will that result in too much back pressure? The donor diesel
car had shot exhaust.
I have a wire from the w terminal on the alternator. Anyone know which wire that
would be on the gasser motor? Does the gasser tach get its signal from the
coil, or the rotor?
I still need to pull the gas tank and replace with the diesel tank, as well as
remove fuel pump and reservoir from system.
Also need to swap glow plug system
The inner CV joints for the diesel were slightly smaller in diameter compared to
the gas ones.
My previous concerns about oil pressure were somewhat relieved when I measure a
good 70 psi pressure at the head. The oil light was on after sitting for a few
months. After driving it a bit, the light no longer comes on.
What a great feeling ripping out all of the unused wires and electronics from
the gasser!
I hope to be be driving it this week!
thanks as always. I love putting this knowledge to work
Ken
