how would this sound...a new GM in-line 5 cyl. Vortec.
Seen an engine up close today..
name tag could say 914-5
eeeyaaahhhhwwwwwwwwwww
What do you think mueller..???
Keep it German! Use an Ur S4 engine, chipped to about 300 HP. Should fit, too. The Cap'n
A 915 would be a Turbo TIV, right?

The new Jetta has an inline 5 too. Stock specs: 2.5L 150 horsepower, 170 lbs-ft torque, 4 valves per cylinder. Transverse mounted, so the tranny's tucked underneath - too bad it's not longitudinal. Maybe they're stick one in the Passat.
My agency just bought me the new Colorado with the inline 5....goes real gud....
That GM inline 5 is the one they install in the Colorado series trucks, it's an Isuzu motor and what a hunk of crap. I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole. Sounds like crap and I was not impressed with the performance at all.
I had an Acura TL with a 2.5 5 cyl. Went good, sounded like a diesel
my budy had an old Audi with a 5cyl... ran good... why not just use the 1.8T from a jetta or Audi though?
What would inspire you to remove the 4cyl bus motor and replace it with a 5cyl truck motor?
(Flamesuit on just in case...)

Ah... but imagine how much MORE of a hunk of crap it would be if it was a genuine GM motor! -Ben M. |
What, no love for the LUV?
I had an '81 Isuzu P'up as my first vehicle, loved that thing - you couldn't hurt that thing trying (won the biggest idiot truck jumping contest in high school with that - nearly 5 feet high!). Bonus points for the best light pickup name ever, Ranger, Colorado, Hardbody... Pup.
