Would that be a mechanical diesel? (No computer) If so, arse would you go get it if I sent money?

The non turbo diesel is a real slug

About 40 HP when it was new

I had a diesel rabbit pickup
It was so slow i was afraid to drive it

I can pick it up but I have no idea when or how I'd get it to you.

Strap it on a pallet. Probably cost $250 to ship.

I just picked up three granite stair treads for my place yesterday. A 72" pallet, 2,020 lbs from Connecticut to GA was just over $500 for freight.

I used engineshipping.com when I used to sell 4BTs on Ebay. Nobody could tough their pricing.

I would have just had you hold it till I make a trip up there soon. Now their saying it’s only 40 hp. That won’t work for me. Thanks anyways.

In post #9708
I Mentioned that it only made 40 HP new

I was thinking it was like a TDI. This might sound crazy, but I was considering a swap into my Delorean. It won’t take much to improve on a Delorean motor, but 40 hp won’t do. It would be nice to have the whole TDI engine/transmission setup and just mount it in the back. All I would have to do was adapt the two shafts to the wheels. Are all TDIs computer Controlled?

Yep
The tdi s are computer controlled but they are pretty easy to transplant

They can be converted to a tdi-m

A mechanical pump from a very early tdi will bolt on

We have a 2001 beetle that got wrecked
We were gonna pull the drivetrain and computer and harness before it goes to the crusher .

We had thoughts of swapping it into a 4wd 87 S-10 blazer

And there was some talk of putting it in my sons 87 Chrysler conquest / Mitsubishi Starion , when he couldn’t get the origional engine running right .

I wanted to swap it in my sons 65 falcon station wagon for a 40 mpg cool cruiser wagon

I’ve seen a tdi in a Pontiac Fiero and I’d love to see one in a delorean

Ours was totally stock but with some larger injectors and a computer tune they can make some good power

You wouldn’t have link to a build thread on the Fiero?

Are you saying new Beetles have TDIs in them? That’s what’s in yours? Where are you located?

Go for a early 2000's beetle or jetta with an ALH. Real easy to make run with 1 wire. Decent power potential. The computers is why they make power and live. MTDI will not live at fun power levels.

Serious question- why TDI? Is mileage really that important? Rolling coal? Using the other pump to be weird?

If you're in Italy driving a 1.1l go-kart getting 97mpg i get it, but I don't really understand the US craze for tiny diesels.

runs poorly on waste oil

I'd probably be money ahead with gas motors, but... I dunno man. It makes the same sorta sense as digging your basement out rather than building new.
which is to say, as with everything I do, it makes sense only in an overly-analyzed retarded way

like my time preference is skewed overly long
the initial investment will likely never pay off, but by golly I'm gonna do the stupids

that'd probably work out pretty okay, especially if it's got something like 2.73s in the rear
people have welded the center diff in passat longitudinal trannies then used them as RWD, but the rear output is a little weak being that it is only really designed for about half the output torque

save some money and use a v6 or 1.8t tranny, not a tdi one
I forget what the difference in ratio spread is like, the final drive ratio on the 1.8t one is gonna be DEEEEP but it doesn't matter if you're gonna be only using the rear output

The Delorean motor and trans are not known to be very good. (Both power and reliability) Right now mine is running good and I’m not likly to fix something that ain’t broke. If I have trouble in the future, there’s lots of work to swapping. So I would like to solve multiple issues. The two issues I have are slightly less power than I would like and not enough range.

As far as power, they have kits for LS, but I don’t need that and the tranny can’t handle the power, so that means you have to swap in a Porsche tranny. After all that, you have even less range than stock.
Notice I didn’t say mpg. I don’t care about mpg, but I do care about miles per tank. The tank is small and I am looking for a station at about 200 miles. Getting gas in a Delorean can be a hassle too. All the young girls with big boobs have to ask a million questions about the car. Well, actually they aren’t young and they don’t have big boobs. In fact, most are not female, but the part about the questions is right.

I also keep quite a bit of diesel on hand.
