• Who has the quickest TD or diesel by SMOKEYDUB on 19 Jan, 2006 17:29
• all diesels are welcome but prefer to hear about the vws. HP numbers TQ numbers 1/4 mile times anything.
  
  I will start i had a 1986 jetta td full interior everything not lightened that ran a fairly impressive 16.7 @84 mph in the 1/4 mile

• my first TD (A2 Jetta) had 383000km, and a broken shut wastegate. Did 18.2 Q-mile and beat a cammed, dual exhaust 82 impala doing it. I was the second slowest car there that day!

• My ´85 Audi 80 1,6TD. Stock body, not lightened. 152hp/286nm at wheels. Did quarter at 15,5/91.3mph.
  
  And couple other local diesels ~350-400hp:
  Volvo 240 2,8D 12,8@~110
  W123 Mercedes 300D 12,7@110

• Hi all, just joined up.
  
  Central VW in the UK has a MK2 golf running 13.03 @ 107mph 1/4 mile.
  Present horse power is 250.5 flywheel and 232 at the wheels over 380 ftlb torque. The site hasnt been updated for a while, so im sure he's upped the power some more.
  
  Heres there site.

• That is TDI-RS... and I'm not sure that the motor they mention that made those runs is even in the car anymore. It was sold to a friend of his who has it now (its a 1z block base with 2.5 van pistons and deeper valve reliefs cut). TDI-RS or "simon" is now working on a 2.0 16v PD if i remember correctly...

  That's correct and the turbo on his old 1Z is some sort of GT25/28 hybrid with the turbine wheel cut back a little bit. I'll need to dig up tdirs (Simon)'s emails as it's been a couple years. He may also have run a GTI gasser cam and he had to grind parts of the head to clear the cam rotation. "H" beam rods were also installed, the block needed notching/grinding to clear the rods. He mentioned methanol/water injection a few times, not sure if he used that to run low 13's.
  
  IIRC over at tdiclub.com QuickTD posted a link to a video of a foreign 1.9TD in a MK3 style body that went through the 1/4 mile in 13 seconds without too much smoke. That was one or two years ago, I tried going bcak to that site to see if the video still loads, but the site no longer exists.

• It's certainly not a hosepower record setter, but the moderately tuned 1.6 VNTD Rabbit daily driver (peak boost not greater than 12.5-13 psi and just a light whisp of smoke) turned a respectable 16.5 best 1/4 mile ET and 82.5 mph best trap speed.
  
  I attribute a lot of the performance to the engine's broad powerband (due to the tuned governor and VNT turbo) and the 2-door Rabbit chassis' light weight.  More info:

• That is impressive! Sounds like it's solidly tuned.. one of my favourite IDIs. My friend's 2.0L 16v is fun to drive and traps 80-85mph. I'll take that 1.6 VNTD anyday!
  
  His 16v is no match for my 1.6 though.. I'll have 1/4 mile #s this season.

• I like the numbers im seeing. Hopefully this summer i can run low 14s or high 13s on slicks.  :twisted:

• Almost had forgotten. Few years ago there was a guy who ran 13,7 with 1,9TD Caddy. I heard that he blew a con rod at 50+psi boost. Haven´t heard of him since.

  HP numbers TQ numbers

  
  Where are these, guys?
  And the 0-100km/h seconds?  
• #12 by Audi80 on 30 Jan, 2006 10:51
• HP and TQ at wheels. 0-91,4km/h = 6,7 so 0-100km/h would be ~7,5 sec. Timeslip
• #13 by HP on 30 Jan, 2006 11:06
• pretty impressive. man. That's a 1.6L, right? which turbo?
  Reliability, overheating?? any problems?
• #14 by Audi80 on 30 Jan, 2006 11:23
• Yes it´s 1,6. Turbo is Garrett VNT20, I´m looking for a bigger VNT :twisted:
  Overheating: Yes, => one cracked head, from intake runner to prechamber. Now I have changed bigger radiator and added a oil cooler. Will see the results at summer.
  Problems: Clutch slipped, changed a 3 pad copper disc => front tires wear out in couple months  :lol:
