WestTexasS2K Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Diesel 4.79 my truck 93 oct 4.00 wives civic Si/ Ultralite That is funny I have been researching TDI diesel conversions all day. I am thinking Locost with 1.9 TDI from 99 Jetta with Samuri 5 speed. Build it light and slick with mind towards mileage not so much performance. I think 60-65 mpg could be done if you could keep it under 1100 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandurath Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Gas-$4.00 Deisel-$4.51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Ebrahimi Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Loren, people are seeing 60-65mpg out of the TDIs in Jettas(with some mods), you might be able to see 80 in an ultralight. BTW, I just returned from SoCal and gas is the same price here(MD) as there much to my surprise. Regular is 3.85-4.05 depending on station location Premium is 4.15-4.25 " " " " I don't recall what Diesel is here, but in CA I seem to recall it being around $5.25.

Kitcat Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 $4.25 for 93 octane. $6.50 for 91 in Ireland from which I have just returned. Drove 1000 miles, rarely got higher than 3rd gear on the twisty, narrow, bumpy, scenic roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 The newer TDI 2000 and newer engines are almost impossible to swap. The immobilizer is a bear to work with. You have to run factory dash, key and ecu. Then figuring out the wiring. The 99 engines are much less complicated. Only about 4 wires needed to make it run.

banjo29 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I figure my IRS Economic Stimulus payment :flag: buys me about 350-400 gallons of fuel... Paid $4.99 for deisel in the Excursion :ack:, was a good deal when I bought it at $2.99/gal and 18mpg, now it's about a wash with a gas-powered equivalent. :nopity: Oh well I still have my torque! :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
