Mack Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I just got my roadster running and thought the 1600 was quite aneamic, so I was thinking about engine swaps.... how much does a ZD30DDT weigh, in comparison to say... a KA24DE? I know I know, a deisel in a sports car, but it has probably 2x the HP that the R16 put out originally (150HP net vs. 96hp gross) and gobs of torque. plus, think of the GAS MILEAGE!!! not to mention roughly 250lbs/ft of torque. that would make me smile in a 2000lbs car.

mtcookson Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I love diesel engines. I wouldn't mind at all putting one in a sports car. Have you seen the new Audi diesel race car that one the 12 hours of Sebring? Its pretty awesome. As for the weight, I'm not finding info on it so far. It must be too new for people to have weight specs for it or at least any posted online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
