45mpg Supra?

Hi

Ive had the pleasure of drivin one of our customers Interpro modified 530Di

Now i know its a BMW, and i know my thoughts are wrong... but this BM was pushin 340 odd HP and over 400ftlbs torque..

For a deisel it was really nice..

I had a bad thought and thought 'could i put a straight 6 D Turbo into a supra shell....'

Thoughts?

i know how you feel my motor was in the bodyshop for 3months and thru helphire;) i was given a 330d turbo(like for like apparently:blink:) 19miles on the clock was ugly but v.quick and running costs were half the soop! but it aint a soop! combine the two would be great! but £?????

go for the twin turbo d. :-))))

You dont own a Supra to worry about the MPG!

But yeah, the BMW diesels are very quick, and economical, they can also be tuned/re-mapped to be even more powerful.

foook, thats good mpg. i get that out of a 90 bhp diesel Peugeot

Great engine. My "weekday" car is a 320cd, 40 odd mpg while driving the stones out of it ain't bad! makes you appreciate the Supra all the more when you get back into it tho... diesel engine transplant would run the character of the Supe I think, just my 2p.

do it, more torque, and more reliable, transplant the gearbox too though.Engine Mountings may be an issue though
