Did any car manufacturer ever make one? If not what about some good turbo diesels or awd turbos.

You want a turbo diesel, buy a truck. You want an awd turbo car, buy an evo/sti/vr4/s4.

VW touareg


V10 turbodiesel available

You can get this on a 4x4 Silverado chasis. Good enough?

Wait, are those spark plug wires on that chevy motor?

VW has some decent turbo diesels. (see TDi)

AWD Turbos? howabout...a 3/S

or an Audi S4, they appeal to me in some sick weird way.

Hard lines for the fuel injectors

GM is going to be offering a small turbo diesel in the 2009 Cadillac CTS.

Dunno if they'll allow you to pair it with the AWD option though.

Mitsubishi made a 4G63 turbo diesel motor in Japan, you could bolt that into a DSM.

that would be a 4d63 (doesnt exist) 4d68 on the opther hand....


the G stands for gasoline


there is also a 4d5. (same line as the 4g54 starion engine)

ahh
and thats G54B Starion

Oh and there were a few rare AWD Starions, so that transmission should bolt up to diesel engine theoretically.

actually it is properly 4g54b


in mitsubishi terms the first number is the cylinder count, letter is for gas or diesel and the last 2 numbers are engine family.

Custom job. Turbo diesel AWD sports car.

I've had one kicking around in my head for a while. I'm sure that it isn't unique in any way, but dammit, it needs to be made.

Iv been looking into it and the S4 looks like the way to go. Its the best bang for your buck.
