Where is the crank comming from?

You'd also probably be dealing with custom pistons that place the wristpin further up, closer to the rings and with a shorter skirt.... on an IDI diesel with 23:1 compression, I would be concerned about making those kinds of changes.

the 2,8 litre engine in the LT was a 4 cylinder unit sadly not even related to the d 24....:(:(

This is a little off topic... but do you know anything about the VW 1E 2.4L petrol straight six used in LT vans? I have heard they made one based on a D24 block but with a gas engine head and pistons, same displacement and everything. It would be a neat project to get a Volvo with a blown up D24, then swap one of these gasser straight sixes in and build it up for big power. Since its a gas engine in a diesel block it would probably never wear out in a million miles... and the turbo manifold off a D24T would probably bolt right up, so adding a turbo would be easy. They sound smooth...

Some more info on the build project it is in swedish but I don´t have the energy to translate it just now....
He might not be talking shit after all because look at the work he has done it looks really neat and proffessional.

Apparently it is not used in traffic yet since he hasn´t fixed a speedo yet...
One reason for doing such a mod is that all cars in sweden over 30 years of age are liberated from tax....

On a another forum was it one that said audi/vw had 6,1-6,3mm thick walls in the sylinders so he said it could work.

I would still like to know where the stroker crank comming from? Also, when you stroke an engine you normally have to use longer rods. You may be able to get away with longer stroke up to a certain point, but the rod angle is going to get too steep. Besides that, the angle on a diesel engine is even more important than it is on a gasser, thanks to the super high compression and long stroke.

i ment that the walls was so thick that they could get a bigger bore.

I think its fun that someone likes d24 this much, that he puts so much money in it.

Its keeping the D24 engine alive!!

For a while ago i called someone here in sweden that had a D24 machined to 2.8 litre, he claimed it was 1,9 pistons in it, brand new cylinder head, the best version with hydraulics lifters. The engine was not started, and he wanted 10 000SEK, very cheap.

Only the cylinder head with cam, lifters and valves costs about 11 000sek

Maybe sometime in the future, i will build me a engine, if i come over brand new crank and cylinder head, im searching like a maniac. H- profile RODS can be bought from Sten parner in sweden, wich pistons i will use im unsure about, but not original, those are crap, you know what i mean. As a turbo I would prefer a mitsubishi 19t with 3inch exhausthouse, in my eys this is one of the best turbos in the world, mitsubishi original turbos are outstanding when it comes to power and realibty, love it!
I think the manifold is good. But i dont understand the injection pump to well, so i would send it to DIESELMEKEN here in sweden. When it comes to the block i would O-ring it and use volvos original steel gasket 1.6mm made by elring, this is the best.

But the dream engine is 1HD-FT, the biggest 6cyl turbodiesel engine made for a car, not a truck.

As I posted though, a 1.9 piston wouldn't get you to a 2.8 liter... It would be just under a 2.6. There isn't enough deck height to accomidate a longer stroke, so I don't see this as a possibility.
