[Vwdiesel] VW engine questions for max fuel economy

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

Put a TD in there.  These guys:  http://www.qualitygermanautoparts.com   sell really nice low mileage engines that you can here run on there website and on Youtube.  I went for a German GTD engine for my Jetta GTD project  but they have the 1.6TD as well.  The Scirocco is really a light car so it will really scoot with a TD and get great fuel economy also.

I've noticed on person selling used VW engines doesn't like the 1.6 for this application and recomends the 1.9 IDI. On the other hand I know of 1 conversion like this that uses the 1.6 and the downer s happy. The owner has done a lot of VW diesel work, and is happy with his car, so I'm inclined to take the 1.9 recommendation with a grain of salt. What is the opinion of the people of this group?

“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."

“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”  Alexis de Tocqueville
