[Vwdiesel] 5 cylinder td engine or running car

[Area31 Research Facility]

Matt,

How the heck do you balance a 5 cylinder engine in the first place??  Now
that's a CONCEPT! ;)  I've never actually seen a five cylinder engine
although I know Detroit made a two stroke 3-71 D (the 2-71 apparently didn't
make enough noise). ;).

If you need fuel economy of a diesel but more power than a four why not go
with a small V-6D or V-8D from a truck?  It will be shorter than a 5
cylinder inline I'd think so should fit a car made for a five.

Or is this engine a V-5 ? ;)

Regards,
Rob

know that audi was basically the only one that used that engine but I
thought maybe someone on the list might know of where to find one.  I am
thinking of doing a possible conversion to a 5 cylinder gas car..
