1991 Suzuki Samurai 1.9 Aaz Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars

Hey There,

Up for sale is a Sami/VW Turbodiesel project I started for my wife but unfortunately the “T” word has made it clear, I’m not the guy who’s going to finish it. Needless to say, she’s disgusted. We were at a Bronco show in TN when I hear her and another good friend of ours talking and I keep hearing “Samurai”, not Bronco.  They do a deal that has me driving the shop truck from PA to AL and back to pick this thing up. Well, I gotta say it was a very nice RUST FREE truck with a ton of good store bought mods, ran and drove nicely, needed paint and seats and that was about it. We loaded it and went home. $1500 in fuel later it was in our driveway and she was happy. Well, for a while. We put 33’s on it and she started complaining about power or the lack thereof.  Since she is also a VWaholic, I had stuff laying around from some of her cars, including a 1.9 AAZ mechanical injection Turbodiesel we’d kept. It had a complete top end done – rebuilt head, new injection pump, injectors, the works, so we decided to install it using the Acme conversion kit. It went together well but I refused to use the recommended crossflow Audi radiator. I had no desire to hack the inner fenders or have the rad sticking up nearing touching the hood. I opted for a Be Cool custom aluminum one, made the mounts, found most of the new hoses and fittings, and got it that far. I am so busy with my company, I don’t have time to work on our daily drivers let alone the Sami. It’s sat since last fall and needs a new home. Here’s what it has in it;
