CarAdvice Fuel Card Giveaway
December 4, 2008 by Matt Brogan
The CarAdvice Fuel Card Giveaway is in its third month now and this time we are please to announce our winner is Iz.
For his comments helping a reader better understand turbo-diesel technology, Iz has scored himself some free fuel on us.
“All aluminium is impressive, and (this is) the only one so far that I know of. Not overly sure about Subaru’s boxer diesel, but fairly certain its aluminium heads, but still a steel block, like most modern diesel engines. Most diesels, even Subaru’s boxer diesel, these days all use common-rail injection technology. Speaking of boxer diesel, its outputs of 110kw and 350Nm are about lineball to what other makers’ 2.0L turbodiesel engines produce.
BMW M47TU2D20 2.0L: 120kw/340Nm
VAG 2.0L TDI CR: 125kw/350Nm
Toyota 1AD-FTV D-4D 2.0L: 97kw/300Nm
Toyota 2AD-FHV D-4D 2.2L: 132kw/400NmPower outputs of Hyundai’s R-engine are very impressive for a single-turbo 2.0L engine. The real test of this engine would definitely be drivability though. Big outputs through a socking great big turbo would mean lots of lag, but that rush after the turbo has spooled would be exciting =)”
