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.

A original turbo on a d24 is better than the 19t

Why mount a smaller turbo????

I didnt say anything about 2.8 litre, just that i would want to use other pistons then original, if i build me a D24 engine!

I was just saying that whoever said they built a D24 that was a 2.8 liter with 1.9 pistons wasn't correct...

Now i know something you guys dont know

Its correct that the engine is 2.8 litre, its original piston in it, 75,5mm or is it 76,5mm? The secret is the crank, its a very rare original crank thats was used only in cars made 1991-1992 in belgium. Dont know if it was made by vw or volvo. I want one of those cranks!!

The guy in the movie bought the engine from a scrap yard in Österrike, with broken timing belt.

Dont know anything more, so dont ask me for further question, i know it seems like like a lie, because i never heard or seen one of these cranks, but the guy seems very honest.

I would have to see it to believe it. With the original bore of 76.5mm, you would you would have to stroke it WAY out to get 2.8 liters. There isn't enough block deck height to accomidate that.

Martin,

Could you try searching around for additional information on this mystery crank? Was the crank used in the VW LT vehicles? I recall there being mention of a 2,8L diesel engine in those. I had always thought it was not a D24 ... but maybe it was?

Naturally a link to a page on the web would be very beneficial on this part, thanks.

I have heard about that some MAN heavy light truck has a 3,5 with the same design on the outside and have 120-130 horsepower without turbo and 160 with? That had been a machine in the volvo!

What is the smallest 6cyl engine MAN have built?

I have new info about the crank, it was a company in germany that made those for the LT45/55 series, to increase torque and some power.

there is an crankshaft from VW lt 45 or 55 that stokes the engine to 2.8 but they are very rare and weak. and are impossible to find i sweden were i live because i think they were only sold i germany and in few numbers
