82 Audi 5000 Turbo Diesel.

5cyl crank nose is not same as 4cyl, its bigger.

Use a euro-sourced 5-cylinder TDI sprocket, then? I'd pay for the peace of mind knowing my 5-hole diesel didn't have a nose waiting to break...

Ummm, I donīt know what you mean. All 5cyl diesels dave same crank toothed belt pulley with M18 bolt. Same pulley in ī78 2,0 NA and ī97 2,5TDI.

They didn't go to the D-shaped nose like the 4-cylinders did? Or at least some manner of securing their position other than a small cast-in key on the back of the sprocket?

Itīs NOT like 4cyl.  http://www.yiparts.com/Part/en/HVMOM

Oiy, still keyed.

So what? It slips all the way on crank, not a few millimeters like in 4cyl's. The bolt is M18 vs M12 and it doesn't even take all the weight like in 4's. I don't see what there is to be afraid when new bolt and pulley is used.

woah, thats a way better setup than a 4 banger. looks like i have a better chance with that driving a supercharger.

Okay, true. I took another look at it, after sleeping instead of before, and you're right, much, much better than the 1.6 nose.

Yeah, that would be far more awesome for a supercharger than a 4-cylinder nose.

I wonder if a porsche 924 transmission would work.... And I'm pretty sure that 5 speed in my car is for a diesel, my that car was originally a NA diesel, and i'm sure those transmissions had to be pretty low for the car to even move; Tom told me that they took over 20 seconds to get to 60

Yes Cole A gas Transmission form a CS Turbo Audi without quattro should bolt right up.  I think a quattro transmission would work too if you removed the drive mechanism for the rear driveshaft.  You may have to modify the front axles, but I think the diesel shafts will bolt up to the turbo gas transmission.  I'm still happy with my 5 cylinder Turbo Diesel  Quattro.  I've put on about 7000 more miles on it, it doesn't leak any oil and uses about a quart every 1000 miles.  MPG at 65 mph is about 37.

Wow, you still have that beast.  I'm glad to hear you kept it.  What year and model is it?  How about posting some pictures.  I was really impressed with it's performance.  Will your wife ride in it?

I have some trouble posting images, My wife will reluctantly ride to Grand Forks and back, but no cross country trips.  I also installed 1990 V8 black leather sport seats, both with heaters that work. It's a 1986 too CS Turbo Quattro.

Thanks for the info Tom! I'm going to start searching local junkyards I think. I still need to get my white 83 on the road. I'm still happy with the 80 I bought from you too, I use much less oil, however there is a small drip from the turbo. I have also started customizing the interior with parts from my 83 parts car. That transmission is just too damn low, and I don't want to convert it to an auto. So I think I will look for a gasser transmission, add an intercooler and kick up the boost a couple PSI to kind of compensate. I hope the transmission won't be geared too high. So whats the verdict on the total seal rings? I know some people were a bit weary of you using them on that motorgeek thread.

Here's the deal: I'll straight up trade you if you buy that car. I have an '80 with the Turbo Diesel engine and a 5 speed.

and i didnt buy that car. the possibility of a cracked head was too much, so im looking at a gold one now. running and driving, possibly gonna go pick it up today.

Looks great!  The pearl white and headlights threw me on the year.  I didn't know they had pearl white in '86.  Thats probably my favorite Audi Color.

Where did you get the headlights from?  Do they have a better beam patern than the US ones?

[Rabbit on Roids]

so this is what i have to look forward to?
not too bad, but just imagine a mini-blower right there above that power steering pump.
should have some good news in the morning. or bad news, well, some sort of news.
hopefully the turbo isnt too wasted on it.
also, what turbo did they even come with?
just a T3 like every other VW?

Tom's engine in his 86 looks a bit different than normal, mostly due to the stock airbox not being there, and the addition of the oil catch can. They came with KKK K24 turbos.
