TDI cb7???

[cb7"fng"]

Im a huge diesel fan so I have to ask. Has anyone ever seen or heard of some one making a cb7 turbo diesel powered?

[Leung]

I just googled it and i guess it is in Europe or something but there is an N series engine that has 4 cylinders and powered by diesel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_N_engine

In the six years that i have posted here, never have i heard anyone adapting a diesel engine to our chassis.

it would definitely take some work to convert it to diesel but would be cool to see some drop a tdi engine into a cb 7 and mood the heck out of it.

[Leung]

yeah that would be pretty cool.

honda has an engine in japan that is a diesel and it also has "V tec" they call it D tec tho, i too have thought of making a turbo diesel cb... i want to roll coal and crack tec at the same time... lol

The N series comes up occasionally, but nobody has ever gotten their hands on one in this community.
As for other diesels... VW, Benz, etc... nobody has tried to my knowledge. It'd be cool, but for the work it would require, the benefits would be minimal. Bragging rights only.

Deev isn't that what its all about???bragging rights.... No matter what they say, when you get a bunch of guys together its always about ego and bragging rights ain't it...

It was brought up here before like deev was saying no one has done it. And that is the N22 engine. I read that it is too tall to fit into a CB but I will find the thread for you guys so you can read up on it.

The DTEC motor I know of is Daewoo based and lives in Chevrolet Optras.

.....why?

Just like the J series and most K series. Won't fit without severe modification.

I was asking why at the point of converting a CB to a diesel.

Diesels belong in HD trucks, commercial vehicles and trains.

[HappyGilmore]

And just because it is a 2.2 litre engine doesn't mean it will automaticly fit. 2.2 litres of displacement not engine size.

Why.....just because man. Why would some crazy ass try to push 400 HP out of a 2.2l 4 Honda? When you can buy a big ass 454. JUST BECAUSE HE CAN.lol

VW, Volvo, and Benz have small diesel engines that run great and are economical. Not to mention they handle power differently than a standard petrol vehicle does. I can see why one would to swap to the N22. Not only that they can make power like crazy!!!
