Re: diesel

also what all would i have to swap out to run it as a diesel? the ecu, spark plugs to glow plugs, clean out gas tank and change all of those lines anything else? seems like it would be a pretty in depth swap?

Re: diesel

do you need a new ecu or will the ecu off of the b6 work for the bp I'm not really looking to make it a racer. i drive it up 5,000 ft mountains fairly frequently and just want to be able to get up with out having to red line it in 4th

Re: diesel

after all is said and done how much more time and money is it to put in the bp over another b6? also supposedly the b6 is supposed to be a rather weak block would it be able to handle a port and polish and a new exhaust anything else i could do to it that would be cheap easy and give me a good return?

diesel

so i have a 94 with a b6 engine in it that is dead and i am looking into putting a new engine in it and was thinking about putting a diesel (turbo?) in it or maybe a bigger engine in it. does anybody know of anything that would be a direct transfer or with little effort besides putting a b8 into it?
