Well, while we're waiting, I'm sure he won't mind if I direct you to his gallery to have a look at his lovely black diesel Yaris. There's also a pic of the engine in there. :thumbsup:

Did someone mention my name? :lol:

Well, you've probably already seen the photie of my engine in my gallery and it is certainly the same as yours although our gearboxes are different (you have 6 gears, right?).

If you have any questions they give me a shout...

:thumbsup:

Yeah... what you can't see in that photo is the ducting on the bottom on the bonnet to take the air from the front grille and in through the intercooler

Diesel > everything

I love my 1NZ-FE, but I'd gladly trade it straight across for Alan's engine if it were legal.

Gasoline engines are great for sports cars, anything else is better with a diesel IMO.

If only diesel was cheaper than petrol over here then i might agree. Diesels are no good for running to the shops. A diesel engine only becomes efficient after about 10 mins of driving, they are mileage cars deisgned for long labourious trips and motorway driving. Not really much more efficient for about town in a "Stop-Start-Stop" situation...

:thumbsup:

Is it illegal to transplant an engine in the USA? :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Same here - I have a 10 min drive to work and a 10 min drive back - the longest journey I do is once a week 20 miles to Rugby, so a diesel wouldnt be very economical for me I dont think..... although Rich does 30 miles there and back for work every day, so a diesel would be better for him..... if only he could sell that blasted 206! :rolleyes:

Yeah... I mainly do longer journeys of 20-odd minutes or more so it suits the conditions under which I drive perfectly - longer journeys where you need "oomf" to overtake slower vehicles on single carriageways.

It's complex.

I can transplant an engine, but only if it is an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) certified motor, that means it has to be in a vehicle already sold in the USA, or have been submitted for approval by the manufacturer. THEN, the transplanted engine has to be able to pass emissions tests within the parameters for the original motor.

In other words its a PITA. The diesel, forget it. I know it's not EPA certified (already looked into it)

BTW that's a bit of a myth about diesels. Sure, they aren't quite as efficient on a short 5 min trip, but the modern electronically controlled direct injection engines are close to peak efficiency as soon as they're warmed up and they still get far better economy than petrol engines ever do for the amount of power generated.

Diesel fuel is more expensive than even premium gasoline here right now, but I don't care. I'd still drive a diesel and I'd be saving money doing it, but that is only ONE reason to drive a diesel. How about spadefuls of low end torque like a petrol V6 out of a tiny 4 cylinder? About about the sturdy and confidence inspiring industrious diesel growl instead of the whirring of a tiny gas engine? No knocking if you miss a gear, you've got massive torque on tap all the time. They last longer, no O2 sensors to fail, no spark plugs to replace.

They're just wonderful. If someone other than Volkswagen would offer one here within my price range...

TOYOTA PLEASE!!!!!!!! :ffs:

OK... done. :ph34r:

I'm learning to drive in a school D4d yaris, it's quite nippy, but you don't get many revs before the thing begs you to change gear.

Where Growl = Tank-like noises?

"Cank Cank Cank Cank Cank Cank" :lol:

Induction kit and exhaust on a Petrol soon fix that

keeperofthegate has a D4D as well!  :thumbsup:

I do :) unfortunately I have yet to purchase a digi cam... :!Removed!: better check what deals are on at the mo :bookworm:

Really... <_<

I can't hear that over the gentle whistle OF MY TURBO

Diseasels are awful things! They really are! Ok, the toyota unit and most of the modern VAG diesels are good, but unless you're doing motorway mileage, then they're much more expensive to run. Also, even though they may put out less C02, they cough up huge lumps of particle emissions.... very bad for us asthmatics!

I'd have to be doing a heck of a lot of miles to justify a diesel.... They sound like tanks no matter what you stick on them, and the rev band is hopeless.... i like to rev my cars... a nice smooth, linear power, rather than a big lump of torque in one shot then gear change... smooth power is always going to be nicer for me.

I once met a guy with a Pug 306 HDi with a straight-through exhaust and massive intercooler and not only did it sound like a tank that's had an accident with a transit van (horribly loud awful noise) but it was still only as quick as my 1.3 SR.... the only place it was better was up-hill.

Me no likey! Petrol rules!

Seveer, I'll let you have a shotty at JAE. Changing the air filter does seem to expand the power range, but you just learn not to change down as early. You just don;t NEED the revs

Because you have so much torque!! ;)

I refuse to believe your car is quieter than mine Al... Maybe inside because it will be deadend by the material on the bulkhead, but not external... No Way José <_<

Fairest nuffest! I do like the idea of the low-down grunt, but i like driving my car.... using the gears and working with the power that iv got... much more involving!

definitely noisier from outside

Yes - get those pics up quick sharpish mate! :thumbsup:

Diesels don't do well in direct 0-60 mph comparisons, but who drives that way?

I'm confident if we could dig up some 30-50mph and 50-70 mph numbers on the D4D versus your 1.3 you'd be very surprised.

I'm partial to both. I do like a nice revvy gasoline engine, but only if something dramatic happens at the end of those revs. Not so true with motors this size, though I do like mine. I suspect it's the VVT-i that makes it OK for me. An older 1.5 without valve timing or the long stroke these motors have would no doubt have intolerably poor low end response for me at least.

Some people here also seem to think diesels are only efficient on the highway for long trips. Not so. A modern diesel once warmed up (5-10 min) is as efficient as ever. Even if diesel is a bit more expensive as it is here, getting 50 mpg versus low 30's....you're going to save money.

I can understand people not liking the noise (I love it though) but again. modern diesels are very quiet. At highway speeds they are no louder than a petrol engine really, especially compared to small motors. I know for a fact my car is louder roaring along at 3500+ rpm than my Volkswagen TDI was at 2400 rpm at the same speed.

They aren't for everyone, but I think most people would learn to love them given the chance. It's nice to rev high, but it's even nicer not to have to hit 4000 rpm to feel something resembling thrust!

They are a bit naughty on the particulant output and NOx though, you're right, but they are working on that and some very very clean diesels are coming in the next 2-3 years. :thumbsup:

But the consumers going to have to pay for that cleanliness!! According to bossses at VAG, Ford, BMW and General Motors, the stricter emissions laws governing diesel engines are going to cost millions in development of better engines, and the only way that that cost can be payed is by the consumer. Over here, diesels are 90% of the time 10% dearer than their petrol counterparts, add that to a 4p per litre rise in fuel and you're looking at having to do a fair few miles to cover costs. I'll do a quick sum....

Petrol Price = 80p Per litre, fill up with 40 litres of fuel every 350 miles for three years covering 10,000 miles a year = £2745.

Add this to the cost of the car which for simplicity is £10,000 and that makes a total of:

£12,745 over three years and 30,000 miles.

Diesel Price = 84p Per litre, fill up with 40 litres every 500 miles (better economy = more range) covering 10,000 miles a year = £2016

Add this to the cost of the car, which is 10% more and that makes a total of:

£13,016

So, that means you've got to do over 10,000 miles a year (our country's average) to justify the cost of running a noisier, less smooth, less nice car!

Petrol Rules!!
