Remember that diesel in a fox thread? Reply #4 – November 29, 2009, 11:09:23 PM Its likely not very fast. I'm sure speed wasn't the impression whoever built the car was going for. Different for sure. I saw it and was reminded of that thread on here. Pretty cool if it gets the mileage it claims but i doubt it does. Quote Selected
Remember that diesel in a fox thread? Reply #5 – November 29, 2009, 11:33:44 PM I bet it easily gets over 30 on the highway with a 2.26 gear. That's gotta be like 1500 rpm at 60mph.Wonder what kinda rear is in it that handle torque and have that gear. Quote Selected
Remember that diesel in a fox thread? Reply #6 – November 30, 2009, 12:52:24 AM From Wikipedia:3.9L/4BT The 3.9L/4BT cummins is an engine in the same family as the 5.9 litres (360.0 cu in) cummins turbodiesels. The 3.9L/4B is an inline four cylinder turbodiesel that was popular for many step van applications, including bread vans and other commercial vehicles. This engine is also used in various industrial and construction applications. With a cylinder bore of 4.02 inches (102.1 mm) and a piston stroke of 4.72 inches (119.9 mm), the engine had a wet weight of 745 pounds (338 kg). In recent years it produced 130 horsepower (97 kW; 132 PS) and 355 foot-pounds force (481 N·m) of torque. The 4BT today is also popular as a conversion engine among many light-duty pickup trucks that were originally equipped with gasoline engines. This is due to its high fuel efficiency while producing power comparable to the original light-duty gasoline engine. The 4BT engines have the same pistons, connecting rods, valvetrain components, and injectors as their 6BT counterparts. (link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cummins_B_Series_engine)So I'd venture a guess that an 8.8 is probably used, since there's marginally more power and torque being applied than a stock 5.0.Probably less of an initial torque "hit" than the 5.0 will drop too, and what there is is at a lower rpm.Just my thoughts...
