Was busy with life but i have made some progress, i bought a donor manual Volvo S60 to take anything i need for the swap and sell the rest. I considered buying only the things i need but buying a whole car worked out much cheaper than buying individual parts, and atleast this way i know the...

I think finding a 5L will be really, really hard, and not cheap either.

I too, vote for the TDi, as the toyota diesels suck, and loads of people are swapping tdi's in to all sorts of stuff

These Hiluxe's didnt come with a 1KD anyway, so what difference does it make that youre not putting in a Toyota made rubbish? The computer controlled engines remove the overly complex injection pumps and replace them with a robust, reliable common rail system. If you put in a 2KD/1KD youre still...

If youre going trough the hassle of putting in a 1KD you can certainly look at TDI swaps, maybe the holy grail of diesels, the BMW M57, but im not certain it can fit without majour modifications

The 2KD has piston cracking issues, and they're pretty expensive second hand

OM605's are nice engines but getting quite pricey, and with a 1.9tdi youre leaving a lot of room for activities. Im looking in to putting the 2.4 diesel litre from Volvo in, as it would find quite nicely. It is taking ages as its by no means an easy swap but it should be done by years...

This is the current plan, usually the PAS pump is there but ill run the stock 2LT one on the otherside and use that space for the CR pump, the pump ill use is going to be from some kind of Audi as they seem to be much easier to mount and drive than the volvo one, ill replace the toothed belt...

Took off the CP3 pump and the vacuum pump on my blown engine and the block is about 60cm with the head being 3cm past the bellhousing face. Im hoping i can use a CP3 pump from a different car as the Volvo version has a very short shaft which would be difficult to adapt to a pulley. Im finding...

Id prefer to not have to move it, but then i have to change the rad location and make new drive shafts, probably remove AC, or cut a hole in the firewall, and i dont want to do either

After speaking to some diesel guys ive found out some run belt driven dual CP3 pumps in high power applications, now 200hp isnt exactly high power but il just run one pump. Heres some people selling kits for a second pump https://www.msttuning.com.au/product-page/m57-dual-cp3-kit PPE Dual...

Ive spent some time trying to figure out what to do with the commonrail pump on the D5, as it sticks out about 15cm past the crank face. Ive had an idea of remote mounting it and maybe driving it from the timing belt or making a custom thing to drive it with gears from the cam shaft. Has anyone...

As i understand i could have either the r150 or r151, is there a way to tell which i have? The vin plate is gone for some reason.

That honestly sounds like a hellish experience and definitely the most difficult way I've heard of making a adapter, only upside I see is that it's more compact. I think adapting the flywheel is probably the hardest part though, you really can't do it with simple tools

Ive never done it, but ive got a cnc and a 3d printer to make mockups, so i wanna try. I found a guy on facebook that will let me take measurements off his R150, i did find dimensions on yotatech but i want to confirm them just to make sure. Im not so sure about welding bellhousings, seems like...
