#299472 I might be getting a new job that's gonna double my daily mileage so don't want to be ringing up the miles on my coupe or spending out the petrol costs either.

So my original plan was by like 54 diesel Accord and have that as a cruiser but can't find any good one. So I've been thinking or doing an Accord 2.2/2.4ltr diesel engine into an EG and having that.

Has anyone see this done before or is it possible. I would guess it'll be the same as doing a K swap but never worked on the devils juice (diesel) before so wanna start doing my home work.

The engine model is a n22a or n22b. Both motors are about 150hp and 250tq

#299592 Wow, those are some pretty damn good HP and TQ numbers. Considering what a diesel can do with just a reflash I'm betting they have pretty good potential for even more power. :thumb:
I'd love to see an EG blowing out black smoke like a big old semi. :shock: :D

#299618 So not only will this be possible but should give me some nice figures for performance.

Does anyone know what I'll need to change like fuel lines, fuel tank, drive shafts, loom?

#299783 Right looks like its gotta be on like Donkey Kong.

I've started looking for an EG most my mates think a hatch would just be awesome though I was thinking a ferio. One as its the only EG I haven't owned and two would be the most practical for cruising the highways.
