Bad_Vision's 1985 Toyota 4RUNNER TDI Swap (Completed swap)

[connor981332]

Update time guys!

Temporary steel tube coolant lines until I get my ordered stainless mandrel tube in.

Temporary steel boost tubes because I will run front mount when I build my bumper so for now cheap and easy to make so will work.

I ran short of some hose clamps so gotta get more tomorrow.


Items left to tackle for test drive
Brake lines
Gas tank
Fuel line
Driveshafts install

Hey guys a bit of a update. I have a chance to buy a super clean 4Runner so I'm selling the TDI swap pickup to fund the new build. I plan to do another TDI swap in the clean 4Runner. So if anyone is interested let me know!

Have you started your latest swap? I'm swapping a new beetle 2002 1.9 tdi into an Isuzu space cab pickup. Dang, I have never seen so much jumbled wiring. I really like your youtube video just wish you were a little more detailed on the wiring end. It would make is so much easier on a newbie. Thanks!

Hey guys wanted to give an update.
This summer I have my new house and garage going up so I'll be busy building that. Next winter I will start the 3rd gen 4runner on the 84 frame with a TDI swap. Should be straight forward.
If you have questions about the TDI swap I will be around so feel free to ask!

Sorry for the absence

Finally picked up a 1st gen body for my TDI solid axle set up. So here comes the updated pictures. I have documentation of everything on my YouTube channel.

Unfortunately the pictures I have are too high of quality and the image uploader won't let them upload.

It's been completed once already just reinstalling with a 4runner body on it and making some adjustments to the prototype designs. FMIC, tilted radiator better piping, modified cooling routing.

I will be loading a video of wiring soon to my YouTube channel. Also my truck is getting a upgrade this winter. 200hp and 380ftlbs. Almost double stock numbers, and still anticipating 25+ mpg.

Thanks for all your support!
