2000 Jeep Wrangler Turbo Diesel TDI

 

For sale is my 2000 Jeep Wrangler TDI diesel.  I am selling the Jeep, as well as all my material, documentation, drawings, records, drafts, spare engine, and diagnostic VCDS system to support not only the pilot vehicle, but subsequent conversions with the TJ.  You will own the physical and intellectual property at conclusion of sale. 

This project represents a personal mission to integrate two dissimilar electronic control systems and networks into a functional powertrain, with the ultimate goal being a high-efficiency expedition-class 4x4.  Many platforms were modeled along with six engine candidates.  The Jeep Wrangler TJ and the Volkswagen BEW/BRM were chosen for the pilot unit, with the new 2.0 CJA "Clean Diesel" being slated for a second future Jeep.  Approximately 3000 hours of research have gone into the project; the pilot Jeep represented approximately 500 hours of build time including field testing.

This has been an exciting and very challenging project, however I must pass it on due to health reasons that preclude my working on it any longer.  This is a huge loss for me and I do not want to let it go, but reality trumps my dream in this case.  Therefore, it departs.

2000 Jeep Wrangler SE with 139k original miles was purchased two years ago from the original owner.  The Jeep was 100% bone-stock and had zero modifications other than an aftermarket class 2 trailer hitch.  It was in very good original condition and provided an excellent base to create the pilot diesel Jeep.

2004.5 Volkswagen Golf TDI with 76k miles provided the donor engine, wiring, and powertrain controller.  It was a salvage car with documented maintenance intervals per VW schedule using spec 505.01 synthetic oil and MANN filters.

AX-5 5-speed transmission with SPEC clutch and pressure plate.  This setup has withstood all operational testing with zero failures or problems and has proven to be robust.

The finished Jeep has been modified for optimized expeditionary use, with secondary paved highway use.  Among other items, it has as new:

• 3" lift using TeraFlex springs, Savvy control arms, Currie Anti-Rock sway system
• 33" Mud-Terrian type tires
• Dana 44 rear axle with Dana (Yukon) Powr-Lock limited slip differential 4.11
• Dana 30 front axle, open 4.11
• ARB "Tummy Tuck" low profile transfer case skid plate
• Slip yoke eliminator with Tom Woods propshafts
• Savvy aluminum bumpers and fuel tank skid
• BesTop frameless top, door curtains, and front seats
• OR-FAB swing-away tire carrier with ROTOPAX diesel fuel cells (4)

All support components, such as radiator, hoses, brake master cylinder/booster/pads/drums/shoes/stainless steel lines, wiper blades, ect are new.  The Jeep drives great and has excellent torque both on and off-road.  The idle stability of the electronically-controlled diesel is where it shines; the engine automatically adjusts the throttle-to-load at idle while you slowly crawl over obstacles.  It just lugs away!

Overall, you can expect 25 miles per gallon average.  Drive it hard and aggressively, which is easy and tempting, and it will get worse; keep it normal and sane it stays in the mid 20's. 

I will be donating a portion of auction proceeds to a veteran's non-profit that has helped me and thousands of other vets cope with PTSD, brain injuries, and other debilitating diseases resulting from recent conflicts.  The freedom this project gave me to explore a dream was made possible by hope from members of this organization.  God Bless you guys.

I will reserve technical specifications such as network typology, design, and layout to the winning bidder since those should be kept proprietary.  Any other questions are welcome.  Additional build information can be view at http://www.wranglerforum.com/f5/my-d...tj-202985.html.  There are a couple of youtube links in that article as well that show the Jeep running.

Thanks for looking.
