2.0L tdi 1 gen xterra

[Tdi Terry]

Hey there! My name is Jordan and I'm finally joining the forum after many years of viewing. I own a 2004 xterra with a 2.0L cjaa tdi engine out of a 2012 jetta tdi. I have a couple thousand km on it now and it is a beauty! I did all the work myself over the winter. My goal was to make a reliable, fuel efficient, daily Overlanding rig. Heavily inspired by our friends in Australia and the nissan patrol. You can check out my instagram @tdi_terry for the build pictures. Feel free to ask questions!

Welcome from Denver! We've had a few diesel swapped 1st Gens over the years. Super cool shiat. Can you talk about the driveline? I assume that a TDI setup needs stuff to be a bit custom.

Hey, sorry for never replying! The driveline is completly stock with the auto trans. The trans is pretty much a stand alone unit as it is, so it just needs rpm signal if i rember correctly. I used an adapter plate from Northwest Fabrication.
