Diesel vs. Gas

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

Okay so we all agree that the condition required for a heavily modified TDI to beat a stock 1.8t would be: going up a 45+ degree slope (and in the mountains for some reason keeps on being argued even though i don't fully understand why)


/discussion?

Thats the problem they dont agree . they cant see through the smoke ....

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

The reason this argument again will never be resolved is but dynos don't lie right , and instant torque wins but dynos .So if you have not owned both engines in debate here ..... i feel ones point of view is skewed and you should remain out of it for biased sake ...no? and then lets do this properly

what cars in this debate have each of you had in your possesion .........go
2000 tdi jetta std
2001 tdi jetta std
2004 tdi jetta std
2002 gti 1.8t std
2003 jetta wgn 1.8t std
2004 audi a4 1.8t std
2001 audi tt 1.8t std
this is the list of the cars i can remember ... I have probably had more for too brief to recall .

Re: Diesel vs. Gas

This thread is useless without a dyno to back up any claim ...lol

Well, since the fuel economy thread got jacked...here is a place to continue the argument between Diesels and gas engines.

And go...
