RE: 5 cyl TDI(was...Re: VW & Toyota)

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Isn't the W engine three banks of cylinders (sort of _\|)?  In that case, a
VW configuration would nearly approximate a radial engine, or more likely
several stacked radial engines.

10cyl TDI - that'll be the one that's going into the D1 limo. In true VAG
fashion, it's basically two 2.5 audi I5 TDIs lumped together in V formation.
I wonder if there is a VAG engineer who spends his days thinking "now I
wonder what'll happen when I combine this with that...".  The way things are
going, the logical progression from the W18 is a  VW(as in \/\/\/)24. What a
marketing concept that would be.

Alas the North American versions of the TDI are only 90bhp.  Not that I'm
complaining - because it's also 145 or 150 ft/lb at 1900rpm, depending on
the version.  They do respond well to chipping, and apparently the
variable-vane-turbo in the A4 and NB uses an adjustable nozzle to control
boost pressure rather than a wastegate...

I have seen discussions on the diesel list about development of 200+hp
4 cyl tdis and even 10 cyl tdis?
