Diesel Convesion
« on: 15 May 2008, 22:58 »
Hi,
Im new to this section of the forum but a Diesel rabbit has become available to me. The body is solid and it looks like it has been sitting for about 10 years. It doesn't run. Does any one know how hard it would be to do a Diesel to gas conversion. The Diesel is a 1.5L and the gas engine I want to put in is a 1.6L. Is it possible, what beside the ECU would have to be replaced?

Thanks

best bet is to hit the phone to the conversion people, im afraid i can't suggest any, but google will be worth a try and maybe someone else will know

Good luck
