Administrators BRAAP Posted September 16, 2007 Administrators Share Posted September 16, 2007 Interesting. The sound definitely does not fit the car. Ok, so when is someone going to put one in an S-30? Modern Cummins with the Electronic diesel injection. With the chip upgrades, free flowing exhaust, maybe even a Turbo upgrade, head work, etc, 300-400 HP, (700+ lbs of torque), is totally realistic and should put an S-30 at least into the high 12’s. Probably wouldn’t be much great corner carving track car, though with attention paid to the suspension, it could be made to turn fairly well for a street car. It would probably make for a decent street strip project, or just a proof of concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have a cummings in my 2003 dodge truck. I looked at it and i swear the valve cover would be about the middle of the windshild while the oil pan scraped the ground!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yeah Stony, they're huge. I toyed with Powerstroking an old Lincoln my dad and I have, but the big diesels are just so... big. The Duramax is do-able/relatively small, but still pretty heavy. There's been a Duramax'ed Chevelle put together already. I think it's a matter of right engine for the right car. -Sure, a Donovan can be made to fit in a Nash Metropolitan, but there are better choices. I've been trying to talk my dad into buying an old Lemans so we can make a DTO. We've got a few GM 6.2 and 6.5 diesels just sitting about just waiting to be turboed and slapped in. It would make for a neat driver with decent mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
