Hi Paul -

Other than this novelty diesel conversion, I don't know of anyone who has actually gone through with a Metro based diesel swap.



It's a Changfa 10hp peak mill, and I think he may need to optimize things a wee bit more.

Besides that one, I get regular hits at MetroMPG.com from a thread at a TDI forum because someone there was also considering a Metro diesel swap, but if you check the thread, you'll see it generated a lot of discussion, but no results:

Are you only going to use the Metro for a conversion, or will you drive it as a gasser?

And... welcome to the site!
