Wouldn't it be nice if it were diesel!!!!!!and with a turbo!!!!!!

It does have a diesel. But it is only a 1. 6na. I couldn't find a 1. 9td at the time so I dropped in the 1. 6. I also put in Toyota Celica power stearing. Makes it real nice in those offroad tight spots. Check out this thread in "Towing and Hauling". https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31669

By the way I have a small samurai repair business, High country Samurai Service, about 25 miles N. E. of where Petroworks is,60 miles west of Ocotillo Wells off road recreation area. My friend that has the diesel samurai has availability to brand new VW tdi eingines for @ $3500. 00. I drool all the time whan I see his rig.

He is also a TDR member, and banks distributor.

Sams are pretty amazing as to what you can make them do. I've got the Calmini combo lift with shackle reverse. It's really too stiff but handles and drives well. The 1. 6na is not a whole lot stronger than the stock engine. A bit better down low and it sure sounds and smells better. Yea, there's a few guys selling new 1. 9TD industrial engines for about that price. I figure I've spent way too much money on mine already. Maybe someday a rebuildable 1. 9TD will fall in my lap. Course I need two, one for my PU also.



Now I just have to get all my diesels converted to run on used cooking oil. Then I can start a thread on the 12valve forum titled "350HP ON CHICKEN FAT!"

talked to a guy the other day that has a taco shop and he pays 25. 00 each time he has his cooking oil picked up. jeez what a racket. all that oil waiting to power a diesel, man am i drooling!!!

also have another friend that has a vw p/u that has a blown head gasket his wife told me me he would sell it for 500. 00, but when i talked to him he said he wasn't going to sell it, because it was paid for!!!!!!!!!!man what a bummer!!!!!!!!! another gentle man i know has 1 running pu and 2 jetta tdi's parked behind his house, again not for sale... man do i have bad luck , the last pu i saw for sale was 400. 00 but i didn't have the money and it needed an engine. some day i'll be in the right spot at the right time with the right amount of money.
