how do you know that the 22.5cc of air weighs 200grams?........

unfortunately he is way off lol

1cc of air = 0.013g at sea level i think 20 degrees celcius.

22.5cc x 0.013 = 0.29g

i think the difference has already been stated enough times, gearbox, manifolds and ancillaries would make up a bulk of the weight differences

it's a mechanics joke (like a dad's joke but stupider). I'm not being serious.

My info seems very different from yours Darkshadow

to add to the list, according to the brochure, tare mass/weight for octavia 90tsi wagon/(DSG) are 1405 / 1425.

the figures i got r from the latest brochures on the skoda oz website, and are the 'tare mass (kg)'.

- octavia rs brochure (sept 2011)

heh, sorry should have been clearer... 22.5cc per cylinder, comes from 90cc total (the difference between the 2.0l tdi and the 1.9 is 90cc - 1986-1896).

Anyway, 90cc of STEEL weighs about 200g.... so basically all i was saying is that if you bored out a 1.9 block to 2.0l (to the exact size they are from VW) the 2.0L block would only be about 200grams lighter.

I couldnt hear your sarcasm over the internet

The numbers I have are from the cars user manual..... would be interested to see if the ones in your user manual are the same as the brochure.

Don't forget the 22PSI of boost... If the turbo is roughly 16 square inches, thats a total of 774.4kg!!

Actually, I've been recently wondering if its possible to bore out the heads on the TDI to make it a 2.2 or so.
I'm still a bit antsy that my new shiny European sports wagon has less power/torque/capacity than my Kia SUV that I traded in.
125kW/350Nm/2.0ltr
146kW/436Nm/2.2ltr
I know its just bragging rights, but hey!!

youd probably want to bore the cylinders and not the heads for a large displacement lol

also, a stroker kit would make things easier!

Who do we talk to about developing this?
