Hi fellas. Great forum.
My bro just got himself a reimo t4 in good nick.
It’s a 94 or a 95. Not sure off top of my head.
Anyway it’s a 2.4d.
Not huge mileage and pretty well serviced.
Thing is. He recently picked up a 2.5tdi (102bhp) donor van for small change. Actually saved it from the crusher.
So we were thinking of
A. robbing the 2.5tdi turbo and intercooler bits and pieces and bolting them onto the 2.4 lump.
B. putting the 2.5 lump in and making it’s pump to run mtdi. Or indeed modifying the 2.4 pump to suit the 2.5 lump.
C. converting the whole thing to accept the full 2.5tdi with ECU with throttle and immob. the works. Whole engine loom transplant etc.
If you guys had the choice. Which of the above options would you go for. ?
Bear in mind, we’ll do it ourselves but we are not awfully keen on electrics and I’m especially not keen on the vw tdi reliance on n75 valves and maf’s and map sensors and throttle pots. etc.
Gear box wise, I’d need adivice as to which would be better to add a more mpg friendly 5th gear to. The 2.5 gearbox or the .’2.4.
Thanks in advance.
