Euro Civic-Diesel- Bring it here!

[Gettin_faster91]

Just a video i found, Though you guys may like it. I know a few Cb7ers have talked about a diesel honda and here it it! It's a civic but i like it and 60mpg is not bad either!

i love that front end although the rear is so so. i also like how well hidden the rear doors are.

[Losiracer2]

wow cool design w/ the integrating the doors. But dang! that engine sounds like a cummins dodge dually. Idk, diesels are just dirty to me, gasoline seems like its cleaner for the atmosphere and all that junk

[Gettin_faster91]

Dirty? From a Honda? lol I don't know but 60mpg would kick ass. I think that bad boy red lines at 4500 rpm's too. ID like to see the how much hp and tq that bad boy has.

"most americans are going to look at the price of fuel".

Thats because most are dumb ass fucks who have got the brains out of them by media.

Maybe itll be made available to canada

That's tight. I love diesel engines. Chip that bitch, chip that bitch, chip that bitch!

when i was in poland this past summer i saw a bunch of those civics. many of them were diesels. Things are much different in europe where diesel is among the cheaper fuels, thus the popularity of diesels.

here is a nice example of one i saw. this might have been type R, dont remember.


here is a nice VW wagon, also a diesel.


I also saw a good amount of diesel accords. the were marked with i-CTDi badging. im not sure what the C stands for but the first i is for intelligent, something ECU related. TD is turbo diesel and any car with a small i after TD includes a small intercooler.

now i dont know about diesels but the produce some huge numbers as far as torque goes. look at this link:

kw/KM (kilo watts / horsepower) = 103kw / 140Hp at 4000 rpms
Nm (newton meters - or torque to us) = 340Tq at 2000 rpms!!!!

im sure the numbers might be a bit less after converting to our measurment system but those numbers are still spectacular.

I have driven a few turbo diesels while on my vacation and although the may not be as fast of the line as gasoline cars but they do make it up when they get up to speed. they are also a lot stronger going uphill or towing stuff. i was able to accelerate without a problem uphill with 3 extra people in the car. Maybe someday they will make it over here but i highly doubt it will be anytime soon.

Daaaamn, that's hot. Very nice.

[Gettin_faster91]

Thats what im talkin bout! >>> Nm (newton meters - or torque to us) = 340Tq at 2000 rpms!!!! (Hey can i borrow your civic to tow my boat to the lake) That little sob has got some get up and go. Up the boost and tune it.. God can you Imagen how much fun that would be!

340 Nm is NOT 340 lb-ft of torque.

340 Nm IS 250.58 lb-ft of torque.

I'd rather have a gasoline-electric hybrid.

[casterX]

lets do the math..

unleaded at $3.08/gal = 30-40miles
diesel at $3.69/gal = 60+miles


i have a w124 300TD back home(Philippines) and i eat 6th gen Civic SiR's with the B16A4's all day in the toll ways..

[foamypirate]

lets do the math...

unleaded at $3.08/gal = 30-40miles = 11.36 mi/dollar. (I used 35 as an average for the miles).

diesel at $3.69/gal = 60+miles = 16.26 mi/dollar.


So, at a theoretical amount of $50, you could go 568 miles with gasoline, or 813 miles with diesel.

Diesel rocks.

I did the math.

[cb7wagonPL]

340 Nm is NOT 340 lb-ft of torque.

340 Nm IS 250.58 lb-ft of torque.

yup that sound more correct. im no math person so thanx for clearing that up. 250tq is still a pretty damn impressive number!

[blizzard335]

the C is for commonrail.

it even has a variable geometry turbine too.



this aint the type-R. its either the 2.2 i-CTDI or the 1.8
