New Subaru 2.0 Litre common Rail Diesel Boxer engine

Post by Stuart »

Just been reading about this in the What Diesel Magazine. Apparently it's quieter than a Rolls-Royce Phantom at 70.5db and unlike inline diesel's, has a wider spread of power through the range. Also vibration is very low due to the opposed nature and, as you can see from the picture, is pretty small :D
I don't quite think it's the worlds first boxer diesel (as the magazine claims) though.

The crankshaft may be tiny (think VW aircooled Beetle) but the tall OHC cylinder heads, intercooler, turbocharger etc. take up a huge amount of room:

For a 1280 X 1510 size of the above go to the following link:

You could probably buy 100 Dneprs for the cost of one engine. :lol:

Just can´t wait till someone modifies it to fit in russian frame. Most components can be replaced/substitued. ie ripping turbocharger away. etc
that should do it

It shouldn't be the first boxer diesel. Didn't VW do it as a prototype for a bug with the 1.3 liter?

Regardless, really cool motor.

That's pretty bad. I wonder would they'd be able to do now with modern technology and a type 1 motor. There's been some pretty crazy bug-builds out there.
