oga Siena, i need to replace my vw T4 engine. It runs a 1.9tdi engine at the moment. Reason is that compression is low and d engine spills oil from all the orifices(dip stick, valve cover etc). Overheating is also a serious issue with the engine.

Now how can i convert this 1.9tdi to 2.5? the bus is used for commercials. It carries heavy loads to the uphill.
I need an info on what i can do now. still a novice.

[color=Blue]True, to a certain extent. To be clear here, cruising is the art of accelerating up to a decent speed, then backing off slightly, allowing the engine to run on a part-open throttle. This is where any engine is most economical - providing the engine produces enough torque to maintain useful vehicle motion.

However, with an under-powered I4 engine, it is harder to maintain that sweet spot (approximately 2800-3200 rpm @ 70 mph). A naturally-aspirated I4 up to 2.0 litres with a modern 16V cylinder head is peaky, meaning it makes good power, but further up the rev range. This means the gearbox will be geared lower to make use of the high-revving characteristics inherent in naturally-aspirated multivalve engines.

Between 2800 and 3200 rpm, such an engine will not make bags of torque to sustain a constant road speed, without pushing the pedal harder every now and again. A turbocharged 4 will be happy here. So will a larger-capacity V6, boosted or naturally-aspirated. I have done long-distance trip, mostly driving on the Continent, with 4 passengers and luggage. I have found 4 cylinder engines to be thirstier on these trips. The smallest engined-car I drove from Central London through Calais, France ending up in Brittany, Northern France was a 2003 Renault Clio 1.4 16V manual. The car was 10 months old then, it averaged 44 mpg over 633 miles. My 2005 Audi A8 Quattro 4.2 V8 with a 6-speed Tiptronic transmission did the same trip, and averaged 32.7 mpg over 629 miles. It was much easier to maintain the sweet spot with the bigger car, and the engine was more relaxed.[/color]

Danfuster:
You never know...have you driven both before, if yes... What year, model and specs. Let's take it from there.

Danfuster:
yes they are speed capable but aerodynamic, balance and handling i doubt, maybe a supra... I don't toyota would even bring that back

dumo1:
Japanese cars have been known to be very unstable at high speeds and you can't compare German car with a Japanese vehicle. They are always miles apart.

erico2k2:
Plz waht year are we talking about here? petrol sells @ 250 to 300 these days

lrguru:
no boss, its a 3.2 liter i6 engine.

Siena:
[color=Blue]It's a 3.2 I6.[/color]

lrguru:
mercedes benz s320 w140 engine. that's the one I like using for long distant travel

lrguru:
that's not true nwanne. I drive my s class from lagos to asaba at 2/5 tank

Siena:
[color=Blue]From Lagos to Owerri (about 7 hrs. 30 mins) is 535 kilometres / 335 miles. Most cars, even fairly poorly maintained ones will make this trip on a full tank of fuel, with litres to spare.

I drove from the Maidstone, Kent, England to Dover, (32 miles) crossed over via train in the Euro Tunnel, then drove from Calais to Vanne, Britanny, France (404 miles). Total travelling time 7 hrs. 57 mins, total distance 36 miles. This was done in a 2001 Audi S8 Quattro, so we're talking 4.2 V8 2 x DOHC 40V, with a 5-speed Tiptronic transmission.

I arrived in Vanne with a 15 mile fuel range remaining. I had filled the tank to the brim in Maidstone, starting off with a 305 fuel range, which as I drove, recalculated and maxed out at 510 miles. Fuel tank capacity is 90 litres.

Bro, a 1999 Toyota Camry 3.0 V6 WILL make the trip from Lagos to Owerri with a full tank (70 litres) without refuelling. If it doesn't, then there's something wrong with the car, or it's driver. [/color]

October 2015.

Drove full-tank from Lagos to Awka in a V6. Had over 1/4 when I arrived my destination.

Fueled the next day at Asaba and drove back. Just below half tank at arrival in Lagos.

Petroleum uses combustion while

Diesel uses compression

Besides both engines are extremely different diesel doesn't utilize spark plugs. Research well on it.
I heard diesel engines are loud and smoke a bit. My brother said he didn't go for a 2015 Benz E class cdi but chose the petrol variant because of that. He resides in the US
