  • Diesel lump

    Although I have great admiration for those who can prize a large petrol engine into a snail of a truck and make it look great as well I cannot see me having the resources to have a truck done and even more afford to run it. Which got me to thinking, what's the biggest/most powerful diesel engine you could fit into a surf ?
    All the best

        Do you mean the 4.2 straight 6? It won't fit unless you cut a big hole it the bulkhead and have a custom radiator.

              Surfswagen?
              Toyodub?

              The V10 Diesel out of the Toureg/Phaeton would be more in the the spirit of things!

                  its a bit pointless

                  a bigger diesel will be no more economical

                    I know that putting a 4.2 in may not be good for best MPG, but does the 3.0 do a bit better than the 2.4? ( i know there must be a MPG post). So going to a 3.5 may be slightly better.

                      The reality is that fuel savings are never going to make up for the real cost of an engine transplant, whether diesel or petrol. So by all means stick a new lump in, but not for mpg...

                        Everybody here seems to throw in a Mercedes 5 cylinder diesel.
                        I think it's a 2.5.
