Wanted: Audi 5k TD

[Turbinepowered]

Alright, alright... my grand ambition of building a diesel Quantum Syncro has ground to a halt.

Finally got around to cleaning the engine block of the one that I got when I bought the car; turns out it's a CN engine, not the DE I thought I was getting.

CN: 65 bhp and not enough torque to move the heavy-arsed Syncro with it's AWD drivetrain. At least not with anything resembling alacrity. I'd just stick the turbo on it and fiddle with the injection pump/replace the injection pump to get the same power out of it, but I planned on tweaking it for some more power later on and I feel that having such things as the piston coolers would be a good idea.

Unless that's really the only bottom end difference between the two, those piston-cooling jets?

So, now I need to find myself a DE. I can offer a CN as a semi-core -slash- trade -slash- whatchawannacallit, but I can't put it in the car as it is now.

if its similar to a 1.6 then tahst about teh only difference the oil cooling jets ..maybe a funky prechamber..but you can turbo it or have amachine shop add the factory jets to yours...not a hard job at all..
soem ideas
later

You can machine the block for oil jets, get some used oil jets from a gas 5 cyl.turbo engine( they are easy to get)
Notch the pistons for oil jet clearance.
Use the oil filter housing from the gas turbo too.(Use only the big oil filter, make a thick washer to block off the small oil filter opening. this will give you an oil feed line connection to your turbo plus it gives you a connection for an external oil cooler. It also has a build in thermostat that regulates the oil temp.)
You can run the turbo oil drain, that goes into the side of the block of a DE engine, into the oil pan like the 1.6 TD has.
The difference between the turbo cyl.head and the N/A cyl.head is that the exhaust valves are a bit better( 1.6 TD exhaust valves will fit) and that the pre chambers are made out of stainless steel instead of regular steel, ( try it, they are non magnetic on a turbo engine) but they will last OK in a turbo engine.
