diesel swap

[TRUEeagle]

Hey how you guys doing. I got a question. Would any of you guys know if a diesel engine would fit in my 94 talon. If so what kind. Im thinking of probably trying that out if its compatible

If you want to swap a diesel engine in, you're going to need to do a TON of custom fabrication. So much so that it would be substantially cheaper to just find a car that's already diesel.

EDIT: Apparently I may be talking out my ass, as one of the two sirius diesels (4D65 and 4D68) may in fact bolt in. Thanks Donnie.

A 4d65 could possibly bolt into the existing setup. I'm not sure what type of engine management would be required.

Didn't Morphius do this on his 1g?

What ever happened to diesel project Morphius was doing.... was it ever completed? I bought a 4D68T with a 5 speed to put into a 98 2G two or so years ago but haven't had the time to finish it. Specifically I need information on what axle shafts will work. I guessing I'll need to fab the motor and tranny mounts, the rest should be easy.

Does anyone know if the 4d68 is an IDI motor?

Edit, it is an IDI, that means its performance is limited to about 200bhp max, and will not get very good mileage, compared to a DI diesel. That blows too, cause a hot 4d68 and a dogbox would be kick ass.

The 4d68t sits on the other side of the engine bay like a 420a so it wouldn't work to sell in a 1g.

id go with a 4d65t from the 80s to keep the electronics on the simpler side. ive seen people stuff a vw tdi into just about anything.

u took my words leg, tdi 2.0. who knows, im sure w custom fabbing it could work. that would be a bad ass car dude. an eclipse with 300 ft lbs that gets 50mpg on the hwy .
