Does anyone know of or have a diesel powered boosted honda?

under the severe pressure needed to run diesel, it would crack a sleeve in a heart beat.

I have been reading about the new diesel honda motors. Im looking for input from people about them and if they have done any mods to them.

wow emagine the potential in torque alone with a diesel engine.

whats the gas milage like out of that dtec???????

When Honda first made this engine back in 2004 it won the diesel engine of the year award, and IMO it still is one of the best diesel engines in the inline4 class apart from the twin turbo motors which is much more expensive.

Stock is 150hp and 258lb/ft. A simple mod is to do a ECU remap which usually gives you about 200hp and 300lb/ft. More torque requires a stronger clutch if you want normal clutch life.

The best mileage I've gotten is 56mpg when driving *very* gently, but I usually get about 36mpg on average with my driving style. Not bad for such a big car.

Bad ***. Who's gonna be the first to do an i-DTEC swap with a big snail and 40psi?

sanman000719

question is the tranny they used since it's a diesel it has to be beefed up more to be able to handle the amount of torque being put through it


other than that game on

Single or Dual Cam? Looks like a single... Is the exhaust manny and turbo one piece or two?

the reason im looking into the diesel motors....diesel is available anywhere...you can throw a god awful amount of boost at it and make gobs of power but still get great gas mileage....makes me wonder why anyone would even waste their time with e85

Says DOHC in the second link

the problem with diesel and fwd is you have too much torque from a standstill. you'll just blow the tires off and not go anywhere. even with fwd gas turbo cars. turn off traction control on a 1.8t or 2.0t, instant wheelspin.

Boost by gear. 700 ft lbs in 4th lol

sanman000719

also boost by vss shouls compensate for wheel spin

i bet that motor is impossible to find, only automatic which means lots of r&d into a k-series tranny adapter kit)

96 GSR-T

because in our situation, hp owns tq its a cool *** engine though

im not trying to build a stop light to stop light car....i have one of those already...looking to build a freeway monster hence the wanting of good gas mileage.

96 GSR-T

In for the results, it would be cool as hell to swap one of these into a hatch for a daily beater... u might start something new

I find it odd that Honda has not released an engine like this in the USA considering how big we are on fuel economy.

BLU CIVIC

but we're not big on diesel

96 GSR-T

we use a **** ton of diesel in the USA, we cant get big on it in cars if most dont offer a diesel engine.

2k.civic.si

which always had made me wonder why more cars dont have a diesel option.
oddly around where i live a lot of people drive trucks and guess what....most are diesel
