> How much power/torque are the turbo-diesel engines rated at? There are several versions of the vw inline 4 cyl diesel engine, where the block is a direct bolt up replacement for the original diesel. The turbo versions range from 68 hp in the early 80ies 1.6 l diesel to 110 hp in the new (Europe only so far) 1.9 l TDI. The problem is that although the block bolts up right to the same bell housing and motor mounts, there is no guarantee that the extra "accessories" fit (turbo, rearranged exhaust, intake etc.). Also the 1.9 blocks is a little higher (just 17mm I think), which means valve cover and injection pump will stick up slightly higher, but there is room for that in the vanagon. Particularly interesting candidates, because they are availible in north american VW's are: 1.9 TDI: (Golf,Jetta,Passat US and Canadian models) Type Direct-injected, intercooled turbo diesel Displacement 1896cc Bore/Stroke 79.5x95.5mm Output: 90bhp(66kW)@4000rpm Max. Torque: 149lb-ft(202Nm)@1900rpm 1.9 IDI Type Indirect injection diesel Golf Jetta implementation (Canada) Output: 75 PS@ 4,200 RPM Max. Torque: 150 Nm (110 lb-ft) @ 2,400 RPM 1.6 TD (Old (80:ies) US/Can Golf,Jetta Passat) Type Indirect injection turbo diesel Output: 68 PS at 4000 some RPM (Out of my head) Max. Torque: ?? Europeean car had a Golf 1.6->1.9 swap article some time ago. I posted an excerpt from that one this spring. Should be availible in the archives. Martin (82 Westy)
