cd into 200sx
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:44 pm
I was thinking about the possibility of putting a cd engine. what kind fuel economy would I except. How bad is the noise level? I have an diesel Chevy LUV that is to loud to me and diesel tercel that is much quieter that I am trying to get running again.
I've been trying to study french on my daily commute but It get frustrating. It hard to quantify noise level but I have one one those VU meter apps on my phone and it pegs it out at highway speeds.
It's been inferred that the CD17 is quieter than the SD engines. How noise they are compared to a Chevy LUV (Isuzu P'up Diesel) I don't know. The SD22 looks very similar to to the C223 in my pickup.
The 200SX looks like it was the start of the Almera platform which I think had a CD20T option outside of the states. Although I would imagine the cost of CD20T plus 200sx would be close to the same price point and fuel economy of a US market VW TDI.
I test drove a 2000 TDI Golf a little while back. I think my diesel tercel (1n-t) is somewhere inbetween my pickup and the golf. I think the turbo at most time seems louder then the engine. Really I would like to get it working but these engines seem impossible to find anymore. I have to import all my parts at an unbelievable premium. My new head gasket cost $250.
