Audi Quattro Turbo Diesel Build - Now with video!

[R.O.R-2.0]

i want a 4kQ...

Me too.  ROR, that we be a good candidate for your 2.0TD.

thats kinda what i was thinking.. and 4ks are pretty LITTLE.. a 2.0 TD5 would be pimpin in a little quattro car..

ROR, what would it take to get your 5-cyl TD running?

ROR, what would it take to get your 5-cyl TD running?

it runs. well, it did last time i drove it. but it used about as much oil as it did fuel. someone did a single tank Vegi setup on it, MESSED EVERYTHING UP.. almost didnt make it home. when i did get home with the car, that next morning the car would not run. took the fuel filter off, and it was ALMOST COMPLETELY FULL of glycerine... so uh, dare i say, that this engine has overdosed on coke.. im positive it needs a bore job, probably all the way to 1mm O/S and it needs to have everything else gone over also. as long as ive owned this car, it takes a TINY shot of ether to make it run.. some say i probably destroyed it from ether, but usually, wouldnt your head gasket let go before you bent a rod, or blew a pre-chamber out, or cracked main caps? dunno why it would happen soo easy on a TD5..

so, i need a full gasket set, probably 5 right way industrial pistons, some machine work, some GOOD rings maybe total seal or something like that, i really like gapless rings.

this engine is either going in a 4kQ, or a 88 toyota 4runner..

Good to know the condition isn't too bad.  I thought it had a blown head gasket and water in it or something.  I would vote for the 4KQ swap.  You could probably have it done in a couple of weekends.  If there are any parts you need for your rebuild, let me know.  I have a couple of spares.

now all i need to do is to find a 4kQ that someone doesnt want a premium for..

i want an old one tho.. and thats about 2k miles too far away.. unless there is significant things better about the newer body style?

[rabbid79]

The only "problem" with the "old" ones is that they were only imported in '84.  There are just too few of them around.  Actually, I want an '84 too.  If you go with the newer body, you get 3 more year's worth to choose from.

It really makes for a GREAT car!  A couple of years ago, I was grabbin' some grub at the local mokdoonald's with the woman and we saw 2 audi's pull in.  It grabbed my attention, as one was a CLEAN '86 4kq and the other a '95.5 S6 wagon.  Anyways, I chatted the guys up and they ended up picking up the 4000 in PA and in the back of the wagon was a 2.0TD I5!  They explained the swap they were planning and it sounded great!  Looked good too!

I would really like to see a nice 4KQTD with the 2.0 TD.  Sounds like something Audi should have done from the factory back in the 80's.  It would have been especially cool if they made a "GTD" version of it with a little hotter motor and some sporty BBS wheels.

Anyway, it's official:


Here's the oil check valve I've been looking for for about a year now.  Fortunately, there was a discussion about these valves on another forum that I happened to stumble across.

I love the plate.

I know this has been asked before, possibly by me but all this talk of swaps in 4kq's has refreshed my interest in putting my 1.6 into a 4kq, is there any reasonable way to make the 4 cylinder engines and 5 cylinder transmissions work together? A reasonably hopped up 1.6td would net you similar horsepower figures to the stock 4kq's 115hp and more torque the issue becomes gearing and transmission options.

4 cylinder and 5 cylinder bell housing patterns are WAY different. you would definitely need an adapter plate..
