The swirl port actually causes the air to rotate in the cylinder to assist in flame front propagation. Reducing the size of swirl port for a performance application that will be running higher boost basically will get similar effects at higher rpm. I would do a gasket match, and smooth the port...

I was looking for info on how they were different or the same, the 3.0TDI and 3.0BiTDI. I did tried lots of Google searches and other sources before asking here. After I've Watched many videos by tuners explaining some of tuning stuff I don't know if it's worth it. Now I do not know if this...

I'm trying to for go the experimental portion by just getting a pre-made setup for what my goal is for the car. I am swapping an S5 to diesel so it is sort of plug and play, but at the same time still not. Currently the car has a damaged 4.2L V8 FSI 6-speed manual in it with 230k on it. The...

I am not fixed on any particular ECU I know the C7 had the 3.0BiTDI. I don't know how easy that would be to integrate into an early B8, but I suspect it won't be that hard. I am sure a big single is a blast, just isn't quite what I am looking for. I've had this debate for a while on my Cummins...

The gtd2263vz is only capable of ~350-400hp and ~550-580ft-lbs to get more than that requires a step up to the GTD2872VRK which does have a reduction in low rpm torque. I'm also swapping to a European TDI 6-speed manual so it is geared so 60mph (my normal cruise limits) would be ~1700rpm. So I...

I am trying to plan my 3.0TDI swap and I want both power and mileage. I have a 10' Touareg 3.0TDI from Canada. The engine has 200k on it so I was going to do all the maintenance on it and upgrades now. I was planning on going bigger turbo, but I very much love the 3.0bitdi power levels...

I'll send you a PM on the harness and details. The goal for now is just to get this running. I am not 100% sure I'm going to leave it in the D2 forever as I have a B6 Avant I'd love to put it in and go a different route on the D2, but I want it to run first. I've scored a 3.0TDI swap from a...

I am completely removing the TCU and all it's assorted BS. Had I been keeping it the stock V8 I'd have just had that tuned accordingly. I will not be attempting to wire in the Touareg harness and ECU I will most likely back date the engine to a B7 3.0TDI ECU and harness. I will likely have a...

My 01 D2 S8. It's current 4.2L needs a reseal and the auto is leaking so I was originally just planning on dropping the drivetrain reseal the V8 and go 6-speed manual. I just don't see a reason not to spend the 2-4k more to go 3.0TDI. I already have an 01E with a 0.56:1 6th here. The biggest...

Ok so with fuel prices where they are currently and no signs of that changing in a good direction soon this needs to happen. I'm seeing a few early Treg and Q7 donors in junkyards near me. What all is needed to run a B7 BKN harness and ECU on a CATA?

I like old audis pmd

Not talking old VE POS v6 I would be going CR 3.0TDI likely from a B7/8. I'm also not talking 300hp that's nearing the gtb2260vk limit. For twins there I'd certainly be looking at like a gtd14-15 not the gtb17s. I'm talking higher HP like 400-500hp. You know where I'd be looking at something...

Dropping the Tiptronic saves like 100lbs. I'm just not sure what the weight difference between the existing V8 engine and related stuff, and the same for the 3.0TDI is. The D2 S8 does have a few advantages over the B5 weight unfortunately isn't one. Room anywhere up front is available for...

Do you have the BHW engine mounts the block attachment brackets?

Yes I understand that, never said it couldn't. What I'm asking is can it be done? I'm talking about going from a V6 TT gasser to a V6 TT TDI. I'm asking if it can technically work, regardless if anyone feels it's necessary. I figure this would be the place to ask this question in my planning...

@TDIMeister I was thinking more traditional twins where it is a GTD1752VRK or similar per bank similar to how the 4.2TDI is. I do understand that typically this is done with a Right and left bank designation. I'm also aware of the packaging space requirements. I'm thinking to have a more low...

I'm sure something like a properly built ALH with like a GTD1752VRK on it could get like 65ish mpgs in this, but at the speed of a snail. I'm not real sure what the mileage from a 3.0TDI would be from the gearing and tire combo. I already have a European TDI 6-speed here. Has 4.11:1 R&P and a...

I was just thinking as an upgrade vs a single bigger upgrade unit. I see how VAG is solving it on the Bi-TDI with an electric basically small turbo. Giving a compounding aspect if I understand it correctly.

Could the 3.0TDI be converted from a medium size single to 2 smaller units? To be more specific I believe stock they are like the GTB2260VK or BV50, correct me if im wrong. I was wondering if 2 GTD1752VRK could go on for more power and response.

I'm actually looking to get like an 07 or 08 A5 3.0TDI 6-speed crashed car as a donor for other later things for my S5. My understanding is that the earlier 3.0TDI are equipped with the more dependable CP3s vs the problematic CP4.2s. If a B7 harness is easier to make work great. Bigger CP3 isn't...
