fuel consumption curves for 1.6 IDI?
« on: September 07, 2005, 01:30:54 pm »
Does anyone out there have, or know where to get, fuel consumption curves of grams/HP-hr, vs RPM for the 1.6?  The only thing I have been able to find iis this post, which implies that the most efficient point is at 2,000rpm.  I see these all the time for airplane engines, but have actually never seen one for an automobile engine.

Here you go in a PDF file

https://home.comcast.net/~smhitchings/VAG_Manual.pdf

its sort of near the bottom.   Has spec fuel consumption for 1.6 idi and turbo as well as the audi 5 cyl turbo :D

the pics might be hard to read... if its that bad I have the original pdf file on hand :)

Yeah...actually I think their term is more correct....the N/A diesel certainly does suck.

There is also a plot of bsfc (brake-specific fuel consumption) for the 1.6lTD motor showing bsfc contours plotted against rpm and load in the VW TD SAE paper.  There is a crappy scan of it floating around the internet, but the numbers are only barely readable.  I do have the original paper.

Here is a thread with bsfc plots for the 4-cylinder TD, the 5-cylinder TD, as well as the TDI (which gets under 200 g/kWh!):
