I'm sure this has been discussed before but, this is the first time i've seen a kit for one.
Its got to be pretty difficult to find one of these motors on the cheap. However if you do and your willing to do the work yourself, this could be a pretty cool setup!
*I deleted a lot of stuff I just wrote against this swap, it turns out I was looking at stock 1.9tdi power numbers and didn't take into account the numbers this "HPAmotorsports" claims the engine can be tuned to make. Basically my post was worthless and I now think it's a pretty good idea*
they currently have kits that bolt directly to the ax5 and ax15 for both the yj and tj. I believe that kits for the automatics for yj and tj as well as for the JK trannys are in development.

I actually just checked today and go the info i posted above. the ax5 is likely a weak candidate for such a conversion, but the ax15 would probably hold up just fine.

It had been a few weeks since I'd looked over their offerings. You're correct the ax15 would be fine, but even offering a kit based on the ax5 is just stupid
True but your gonna drop a but load if money putting either diesel in I guess you would gave to shop around find what deals you can get on either engine. Going buy their full install price... I'm willing to bet one to could a 4bt and do the build for less then they are asking.
Exactly overpriced. That site also advises using the new tdi motors. But the 99-03 motors are better. No emissions they are not picky with oil like the 04 plus years. And they make better fuel milage the the newer ones.
