Masterful tinkering... Can't wait to see it in the van

Thats pretty impressive mate. I have a 1.9 XUD, also indirect injection, and the sound is what i love about it, but it makes little power. Its a turbo without intercooler, and the pump has no boost membrane for additional fuel

Andy, I absolutely love it. You have these crazy ideas and the skills to carry them out. I love this collection of videos following the progress and finally the engine making noise 🙌🙌🙌 I can’t wait to see it in the ambulance. 🎉

This is a cool idea. I will be curious to see how it runs. I would expect that the di engine uses a more aggressive camplate in the pump so as to inject the fuel through a shorter crank angle duration. Some of this might be mitigated with slight base timing advance

interesting in that i had to advance the pump a full tooth on the belt to get it to fire up! since the first run it cracks up withi first 3 revolutions from cold without any glow plugs connected. also appears to run very cleanly, will post update when it’s up and driving in the ambulance 👍

Great idea👍

Hi Andy , you said about putting a twin cam head on the diesel block , would that be running petrol then? Or modified diesel twin cam ? Thanks dude great content , just found you on KZread, cheers dude 👍👍👍👍

apologies i ment it’s the same family of engine and the head stud pattern is the same as x flow so the head will physically slide on 👌

How did the IDI - > DI engine go on once you got it installed and dialled in ? Quite an ask for a lil 1.8 to drag a convoy around !

The French & Germans were doing it so much better, even in the 80's.

@@thehillmanator That was the best of the 1.9's. The 90 bhp was a slug, the 115 suffered porous heads, and the 130-150's did around 10 mpg less. Plus I don't like PD. The AFN was amazing on fuel, 60 mpg with care was possible, and 500,000 miles

There is no doubting your talent but shouldn't you be spending your spare time looking for xe itbs?
