Type-44 5k with TDI engine?
Is in possible to install the 2.5 I5 TDI engine (that you US residents
never got) in a mid 80's 5k? I can get my hands in a 140 hp TDI engine
and an old (85) 5kS with not-so-good engine. The engine fits right in,
after what I've heard, but what about transmission (possible/necessary
to use the TDI trans?), wiring and "all the other stuff"? I know it's
not a "drop in and drive" job, but is it possible at all? The
relatively chap 5k cars with the very powerful and good-sounding TDI
engine would be great, and Audi even manufactured a type 44-based 100
TDI back in 1990.. I've heard of people installing the I5 TDI in the
VW Vanagon, so the TDI in the 5k has to be possible, or what?
I'll appreciate any advice!
