Subaru Turbo Diesel

So; subaru and the power of diesel working together

Excerpt from the subaru page

 "Subaru" said:

The world's first commercial Horizontally-Opposed Diesel Engine developed for passenger vehicles is the SUBARU BOXER DIESEL. When petrol engines are converted to diesel, strengthening of the engine block usually makes the engine bigger and heavier. The SUBARU BOXER, however, was originally designed with rigidity in mind, allowing the 92.0 mm x 75.0 mm bore and stroke of the 2.0-litre petrol four-cylinder engine to be changed to a square 86.0 mm x 86.0 mm design. The result is a more compact combustion chamber and greater fuel efficiency, and combined with a higher pressure common rail fuel injection, an improved oxidizing catalyst with closed Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), a variable nozzle turbo and electric power steering, these all help to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Ceramic glow plugs also quicken starting in cold weather. And whilst meeting the ultra-clean EURO5 emission standards, the engine delivers even more torque compared to previous models. A prodigious 350-Nm of peak torque is delivered at a lower 1,600 rpm – providing smooth, free-breathing performance at any speed. These advantages are evidence of the vision that Subaru has in using the Horizontally-Opposed Engine.

okay; so 86 x 86 bore and stroke

Low mount turbo (YUSS!)

350-Nm of torque at 1600 RPM

110kw at 3600 RPM

What I want to know is does anyone on here have one; what do they drive like? you modded it at all? I want to talk diesel here.

Because I had a crazy idea to drop a Turbo diesel boxer into a BC5. for the lulz.

But obviously I'm broke and all I have are ideas and good intentions.

Here's a link for reading about the coming of the boxer diesel

There is a GC coupe in the states that went up Pikes Peak with a boxer diesel conversion. The guy documented it all on his site and through YouTube videos. He also sells boxer diesel specific performance parts and consults on conversions.

Awesome;

I was directed to this site through one of the facebook pages I am a part of

They sell engines and everything for a conversion- obviously the importing may be a taaad spency; anyone know if Link's can run diesel?- they sell ECU's too.

It's a bloody good engine by the looks of everything.
