" From: Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " " On the Audi 2.0L (also found in the last couple years of Gremlins) " there is also the possible option of a Jetta diesel 1.9L used in the " late '80s (sadly non-turbo) I just turned one down from a friend of " mine for $1200 so she is fixing it up instead (new struts, carpet etc) " and selling it for $2500. that would be a prechamber engine, hp/torque 64@4200 and 92@2200 or 75@4200 and 111@2000 w/turbo. what would you do for a flexplate? do audi and vw have the same crank bolt pattern? i can believe the ring gear would be the same. direct injection engines are widely reckoned to be some 20% more efficient than indirect injection. the vw 1.9tdi with rotary injection pump is rated 90@3750 and 155@1900 or 110@4150 and 174@1900 with variable-nozzle turbo. used afaik '95-'03 as i said below, in the passat, golf, jetta, and new beetle; changed to common-rail injection system in '04. there's also a non-turbo 1.9sdi, 63-67@4000, 92-98@1600-2800. i don't think we saw it here. the 2.5 v6 i mentioned was also used in the passat as well as audi a4, a6, and a8, and does indeed have 229 ft-lbs in most versions. got much of this from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_discontinued_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines oddly the rotary-pump 1.9tdi appears on both lists! " From: adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker) " " " From: Joe Fulton " " " " " " There are also four DJs (mail jeeps) in the yard. It may only be three " " mail jeeps by the end of the day though. One poor little jeep with an " " Iron Duke on board was sitting mighty close to the crusher and it's " " knees were shaking when I walked by. " " i was thinking more about what jim blair said about the audi-4 tf904 " [as found in some djs] fitting vw engines as well and saying how a " little diesel would be nice... i discount the prechamber gen [1.6 et " al] as too underpowered, but the '95-'03 1.9 tdi still has a bosch ve " injection pump, pre-common-rail, and 90hp with 150 ft-lbs, rpms " unknown. that sounds pretty good for a light little dj... it still " has a cam-drive belt, so there's a '98-'03 audi tdi v6 if you prefer, " all gear drive if i understand right, and also with a ve pump. 2.5L, " 150hp, torque unk but must be in the 230 area. that'd do for a spirit " or concord... " " in principle, with the old-style injection system they could be " de-electronicized, but in practice you'd probably better be a diesel " mech with healthy bosch experience. " " also a challenge would be appropriate flexplates and torque " converters. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
