D24T power!!!

[colectb]

Yeah, there aren't many of the audi's out there, and most have cracked heads. I have read somewhere that there are only 500 of the Audi 5k Turbo diesel engines in the U.S.... I have three of them. Haha. I have never even heard of the D24T before, but it seems awesome. I love the car! What do you get for economy on a highway speed trip? I pulled 35 mpg with four people in my audi, but usually only get around 25.

Volvo 240 diesel on CL for 350 bucks.

how much does a head cost? are they made of unobtanium?
cause if i could pick the car up cheap, i might condiser it.

and ive never really been able to check the mileage, the speedo clicks like a bastard. and the odometer works intermittently.
i went almost 500 miles and didnt burn an entire tank of fuel. i dunno how big the gas tank is. honestly i know pretty much nothing about the car. just the engine.

i've seen a few audi td's but only 1.6's

I've seen maybe 10 diesel 5000's, and out of those, 3 were turbos diesel, beautiful cars. To bad they were in the wrecking yard.
I had a friend that had a diesel Volvo wagon 5spd. Big POS.
They are out there, its just they were kind of weird and so are the drivers  . "Nothing personal"

i wouldn't mind having a d24 tho, i'd have 6bt parts all over that thing

i have seen 2 TD Audis in my life. one for sale on craigslist. white, pristene, cracked head.
and a gold one for sale on craigslist. not so pristene. but it ran. and it was 250 bucks. SOLD! so now i own it...
ive only seen one Volvo TD, and one BMW TD also. they are pretty rare i think.  a diesel benz is extremely common tho.

Rescued my Volvo from a junk yard. Love it but I need boost.

why would you ruin a perfectly good VW with cummins parts? and what the hell would you put on there? a cummins is about 800 times bigger than a D24. haha.

[RabbitJockey]

hy35 and what ever pump parts would be beneficial. probably not much haha

I am going to be using a 4BTA injection pump on my supercharged 1.6

[vwjunkie53]

I wouldn't mind a 11mm head... The cummins 6bt has a stock 12mm head, but I don't know if you could reduce the fuel flow down enough to where the engine could idle.  That displaces a crap load of fuel, hell enough to black-stack a 5.9 liter engine!  Its only a 2.4!

Hy35?  Good luck getting that thing to spool without some bigtime work.  My turbo is borderline being a T3T4 with a .63 A/R turbine housing.  I'm on the hunt for a .48 A/R stage III turbine housing, that would be perfect.

rotory or inline?
if you were using an inline pump, i would be EXTREMELY interested in how you do it. i always thought that an inline pump from a 4BT or a Merc 4 cylinder would be amazing on a VW.

[truckinwagen]

bosch rotary VE pump.

an inline would be damn cool, but way too much work.

[Rabbit on Roids]

next time im up in portland, im going to pick up a merc 4 cyl injection pump just to see what needs to be modified, or if it can even be done, to make it fit. if it doesnt look like too much work, i may just try and make it work. i fully expect it to need new mounts to even come close to working tho. and custom fuel lines. but it would be really sexy once it was done.

I have had thoughts of an inline pump for the D24... Like a Bosch P7100.  Totally too big and would look rediculus, but man if I had the time and money to waste what a fun project that would be to try to get working.  I suppose it wouldn't be too bad to get a inline off a Benz straight six, though I don't know how much stuff is available to hotrod those pumps.

The VE with a 11mm head on this engine can potentially push 300hp.
