I've heard some foreign Samurai's were produced with a Renault diesel engine.In a ski town in France I spotted a samurai with 1.9td plastered on the back. Does anyone know which engine this was factory fitted?

I guess i forgot to mention the vehicle the TDI is going into is an 86 soft top sammi. Does any one know if the engine mounts sold with the adapter kits from acme, rocky road, or else where will work with the TDI?Ive got a 04 model TDI on order, should be here within a week or so. I saw the low milage (under a 100k), higher HP (90 bhp), and better efficiency (40+mpg) and bought the engine at auction before I researched into it and learned about the afore mentioned wiring nightmare. I had the salvage business i bought the engine from include the wiring harness, ecu computor, the gauges cluster, ignition, and the key from the original vehicle as I had herd there could be problems with the antitheft system in the computor. This will be my first 4wheeled vehicle engine swap, so anything I need to know?
You're gonna learn a little on this one.This will be my first 4wheeled vehicle engine swap, so anything I need to know?
an uncle of mine did it into a 4-door vitara from the same vintage, and got from 37mpg in city traffic to 47mpg in highway... but his former vitara was alredy factory-fitted with the 5spd... btw are you going to use the 5spd out of a toyota pickup or a chevette?I am doing the same thing to a 1993 2 door Geo Tracker. I already have the Safari Snorkel, Acme kit, a used 5 speed fom the junkyard and a VW 1.6L non -turbo. I am yanking out the throttle-body 1.6l gasser and pathetic 3 speed auto. Only good thing, is the diff gears are lower than normal so with the diesel and 5 speed, I should be getting some decent mileage.
