Hi,
I am keeping an eye on engine =
conversion options
just in case I need to choose one in the next year or two. I have =
some
questions:
If I bought the 5 cyl. audi conversion kit, and I =
wanted a new
motor, how much and what is the newest motor that would fit? I =
could call
my local Audi dealer, but I wouldn't know what to ask for.
What is the horsepower and torque difference between =
the
Eurospec with the Golf gti motor and the audi 5 cyl? I might =
occasionally
do light duty towing, so the extra cylinder might be =
useful!
The golf motor is 2.0 L, which is smaller than my =
2.1 L
waterboxer -- yet it has more power?
I was at my local VW dealer today, =
and asked the
parts guy for the price on a 2.1L Waterboxer long block. It wasn't =
in the
book! What gives? The short blocks were $2300, and he =
claimed that
heads are $1000 each. I guess that puts us closer to the Eurospec
conversion price, after all.
And, most importantly of all, is someone going to =
develop a
TDI kit? I would be perfectly happy with the 1.9l TDI -- I just =
would have
to regear the transmission.
I think that I could start saving my =
money a lot
faster if I knew a TDI was possible in the future.
Thanks very much,
Michael Townsend
