PUG 1900 DIESEL CONVERSION

been fitting one of these into my jimny for the last week or so

not been taking pics much just been getting it done lol

pleased to say its defo taking shape now with only a few things left on the list of mods

engine is mounted , wired , plumbed , exhausted

clutch is sorted gearstick sorted

need to sort the rear box mount , propshaft , new fuel line , and a few bit of wiring for ancilliaries







1900 DW8 , pilot box

Cool, how easy was it? Does it shut lower with that extra weight in?

forgot to measure with the 1600 in it lol , think it dropped 3" ... no engine - engine box fitted so prob
not much of a difference at all

This is a conversion iv had the intentions of starting .
Engine box is out of mine . And have the engine and box from a 1.9 td 306 with pilot box ready to go in,

How did you get on , adapting the clutch operating mechanisms from hydraulic to cable ?

Or did you use hydraulic through out,?

Some pics of this would be handy if you have any

Good luck with it all

Also how did levers locate in the car through the original hole?

hi mate was watching your post closely but with no new updates i went it alone lol

hydraulic clutch , its taking a bit of getting used to cos of the short travel on the pedal but works fine

the stick came through the tunnel slightly further forward than the original one but this will depend on where you mount your engine of course !

i dare say that if its mounted extremely tight to the bulkhead it would pretty much be in the same place as standard but ive mounted mine forward quite a bit the drawback of this is that the bonnet was hitting the inlet manifold but a trip to the scrapyard and five mins with a cutting disc soon mounted a scoop

the upside is that ive got loads of room around it to work on it and plenty space for a turbo lump when one turns up cheep cheep

unfortunatly iv had my younger brothers car stuck in my garage for the last 4 months so , only just starting,

what clutch master cylinder did you use ?

i know from experience with rangers, if you put an adjusterable rod between pedal and master cylinder you should be able to adjust where on the pedal it bites.

what radiator did you use in front of yours ?

was there much clearance between sump and front axle?

last question i promise lol , did you use standard ldv engine mounts ?

cant wait to get started in the next week or so.
