2.5 tdi in 90q???

[Alan Pritchard]

LOL, I am in Europe, hence the enquiry ;)
Just thinking, a chip takes these to 210bhp and 310nm. That strikes me as a
lot of fun!. Plus a v6 will be a lot shorter than my i5, and if its ally, a
similar weight. Therefore handling will improve! Wasn't sure how complex the
fuelling change would be. And obviously the transmission components would
need to be changed as the stock 90 ratios would be to short for the low rpm
of the diesel unit, probably top out at 90mph or so ;(
So maybe it's a bad idea :)

Had the 2.5 come to the states I would say do it, however that swap will
entail something alot more invlolved than an engine swap. Your entire fuel
system including tank will have to be dieselized, by using diesel
components. Since these parts are euro only your probably talking about big
big bucks to get the items over here.
