Looks really close to the firewall, is there space to get around it if needed?
How does the front-back length compare to the 22r(e)?
Interested in this swap, how much for adapter plate and engine mounts? Currently looking for truck or 4Runner. Can you make for 22r? I have a lead on 1 of those.
Call or text if easier for response 919-725-1907
Thanks

that's unfortunate, but not surprising. With the way that front crossmember and pumpkin is designed there's just not a lot of vertical room.I’m not having much luck with making the Tdi conversion fit into a stock height IFS pickup. It looks like you’ll need to drop the front diff at least 3”. A SAS Truck would be fine at nearly any height.

What about realigning the mounts so it sits high and you add a hood scoop?
Gaining 3" on that diff is a challenge.

We've made progress on a 22r kit. It's going slow but we've started designing engine mounts and the adapter. Are you still interested?
I'm trying to figure if this will work with the auto trans, which is what I have. If I recall correctly the auto have a different bell housing but there is an adapter where the flexplate would be so it unbolts from the engine the same.We've made progress on a 22r kit.

I might be depending on cost. My 4runner is my daily and i think a little diesel engine would make my daily a little more fun

All the Yota auto trannies of this vintage are sealed units with integrated transfer case, there is no way to mate a 2wd auto to a case.
Good point on the trans PCMs being linked to the engine ECU. my 4cyl has a PCM for the trans too, although I'm not sure how exactly it works, as I know the actual shifting is solenoid driven.
Clearly the better combo is 5 spd w/ the TDI but ya gotta work with what'ya got, and the auto is awefully convenient offroad. Hm mating to an AW4 would be a nice ticket to
Again I think if you want that family, than an AW4 is a better start. It's the same family of autos as the A340F /A340H but has a separate tcase so you can put a D300 or Atlas etc behind it... and I believe it is a relatively standalone TCUAutomatics definitely have advantages in most technical driving events, certainly off-roading. Just not my style!
What about using the 2wd internals? Valve body, solenoids, etc? I’m not very educated on the automatics so I’m just throwing out ideas. Maybe a better solution would be mating a GM auto to the VW engine and yota case to the GM trans.
