Two jeep family

[Tjveedub]

hello fellow jeepers ,

I'm tjveedub as my name suggests I'm building a 2006 6speed hard top golden eagle with a 1.9all pd vw diesel , this is a pretty big budget build being the last rig I'm going to build for myself.
soon as my tj's here from nsw that is .
parts I've ordered are :

cotybuilt conversion 1.9 ahu vow pd 186hp 329nm
gobi ranger rack
metal cloak 8" flare kit And protection
master craft seats
Hanson rear storage solution bars
Hanson front stubby
d44 rubi front and rear jkdiffs with conversion
spider trax axels / braces
35x11.5 17 mtrs on method race wheels
rock link sways
Bds 3" long arm kit
Smitty built cage braces tail lights and corner protection
front / rear winch

and a light weight military camper


my other vehicle is a 2012 jku we use for a family tourer daily driver its in the hard to find blue metallic and so far I've one done tail lights and a snorkel but this will be getting tube front and rear bar work 2" lift 33s and a front runner rack and all the creature comforts that come along with family touring

welcome.
I am a bit curious about your choice of engines. The VW is a very small engine & you will have it in a high state of tune.
How peaky is that engine? How wide is the torque band? One needs a good wide torque band for good performance. Needs to pull hard at low rpm.
I would have thought a 3.0 ltr diesel would do a better job. Either a 4, 5 or V6.
I suspect you are in Europe & so wont have the demands of the Australian bush.
Any way good luck with your conversion & look forward to hearing about the progress.

the 1,9pd Its perfect for the job these little engines are vibration free and won't unbalance the chassis like bigger diesel engine, the 1.9pd is about 100kg lighter than the 4.0 , 3.0 diesels are heavy lumps and not suited to the small tj jeep in my opinion , this engine makes torque very low down nearly off idle in its standard form it produces 105hp and 225nm with a quick flash tune and a decent inter-cooler 160 hp and 265nm are achievable (which i'm going for) , changing injectors cam and turbo you can gain up to 300hp 350nm
