Which engine... please help me decide!

Mickey:
I'm currently in a quandry as to which engine to fit to my latest VW Syncro... yeah yeah... "just sell it and buy a landy"... ok we've heard that before.

Please bare in mind, this is my daily drive!

Option are:

Audi 2.5 TDi 115bhp 5 Cylinder, 195 ftlbs @2250rpm.. possible chip (done that, needs different gearing for the TDi bit). Might end up fitting this to my Syncro 16 instead.

Audi 2.2 20V 5 Cylinder Turbo, 225bhp, 258ftlbs @1950rpm (woah!) again with possible chip (Do I really need one?!) but engine is 30KG heavier than the next one...

Subaru 2.0 Turbo from Impreza/Legacy, 200-250bhp, 190-250 ftlbs depending on model, again more power from chipping etc.

All engines are wiring intensive so no difference, all will need exhaust and water systems making to suit but I already have the Audi converison parts to bolt the engines in.

Ta for now.

2.5 Audi lump , allround  solid unit.......

imspanners:
Thinking outside the box, if your putting the 2.5 in another motor what about a late Audi/VW 1.9TDi??
115-130bhp easy and reliable too (unless you want to start chipping)  8)  :twisted:

Try and find a 160bhp Audi 2.5TDi Lump like fitted to the older A4s, that'd shift it no problems.

Without that then it's got to be the VAG 1.9 TDi.

bezzabsa:
5 cylinder from an early Quattro????? :D:D:D now THAT would be fun ;)
