Dwf D6c Swap

Bad luck :(

 

Maybe now is the time to change the gearbox for diesel one, AFAIK it would provide better acceleration?

I currently have three dismantled gearboxes. My BE3 with broken housing, BE1 (in good condition ) and diesel gearbox. I want to transfer BE3 core in BE1 housing (because regular reverse shifting). And next job is transplanting diesel synchro cone in BE1.

 

I bought a diesel gearbox because I thought that fifth gear is longer than mi16. It`s wrong. It is the same set. I have not counted the other gears, but I think the only difference is diff.

 

Some guy offer me XM 2.0 gearbox (probably have longer fifth gear)

If you have a 1.9 TD gearbox the gearbox housing itself on this box is reinforces to the regular BE1 / BE3 ones from the same time, so could be an idea to use that.

 

Normal 1.9D however has the weaker housing.

personally I'd just use the casing and any synchro and matching gear parts, otherwise use all the MI16 final drive etc.

It is a plain 1.9 diesel gearbox. Case is different, (the clutch fork mechanism and no place for crankshaft sensor), and obviously weaker.

But synchro cone is less worn due shifting at 2000-3000 rpm instead of 5000-7000 as MI16.

*#%!!! everything is upside down. 2nd gear synchro is damaged. But I can`t simply replace synchro necklace. I must disassemble whole set. Oh no. How do I connect it. I do not know

As I'm about to rebuild my XU9J4Z (DFW) engine and I want to convert it to a D6C engine I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions in your topic.

 

I hope somebody could help me.

 

First of all, im interested in how much material is it possible to take from the head, I think I need to take off ~1mm to get D6C compression since I've bought a +0.2mm headgasket. Is this possible or is it too much? I'd rather get the compression with D6C pistons but I can't find any.

 

Secondly, I read on this site http://www.taylor-eng.com/xu9j4/16v_overview.html about D6C and DFW engine differences, and was wondering, which is better, to keep my inlet cam pulley #3, or change it to a #2 or a #4 maybe, considering the compression increasement (I'm aiming at 10.4 as in the D6C)?

I would just fit D6C pistons rather than skim the head excessively.

Skimming the head will only get you to around 9.8-10:1. Much better to skim the block and liners 1.30mm.

 

Definitely keep the #3 on the inlet if using standard cam.

Thanks a lot. How much do you think I could have by skiming the block 1.3mm? 10.4:1 or more?

10.8:1

 

also add some more intake duration!

How can I do this?

 

I'm planning to keep standard camshafts.

Either reground or new cam is necessary.

Since I'm limited with my budget, or better say I have no budget at all :lol: what do you suggest.

 

I only want to convert my DFW into D6C since I'm rebuilding the engine, would it be enough to skim the block for let's say 1.2 (to get 10.4:1), and put the #2 pulley? Or are the camshafts also different? Would it be necessary to remap the car after these changes?

You dont remap. My old Mi16 had a DFW head with a D6C block that ran DFW management. Compression was that of the D6C. Had a cat and still pulled like a train.

Anyway, the newer management on DFW is a more advanced one than on the D6C.

Maybe they aren't expensive, but since I'm from Croatia, I'm afraid I would pay for postage costs more than they are worth. :(

 

@John: Glad to hear that, that's one expense less on my list :)

If you're taking the effort to skim the block/liners, do the full 1.3mm. It's not about the tiny extra CR, but more about reducing the squish distance. It will still work nicely with the standard cams. I also sell chips for AUS$45 which is a remap!

Could you please find out what would be postage costs for this and cams, I'm from Croatia.
