I read about the new VW Passat diesel which makes 134hp but I was hoping for
150-180hp for an experimental Apache.


Lots of new Diesels coming onto the market, among them some very
interesting ~ 200 HP V6's from all major manufacturers:
Isuzu (GM) V6, 3 liters, 177 HP (all aluminum, should be lightweight)
VW, V6 TDI (from the Touareg, Phaeton, maybe Passat too), 225 HP, weight
ca. 400 lbs., 500 Newton meters of torque from 1750 RPM !!!
DaimlerChrysler V6, 3 liters, 224 HP, weight ~ 400 lbs., 510 Nm torque
from 1600 - 2800 RPM !!! Maybe no redrive needed?
Ford-Jaguar-PSA V6 2.7 liters, ~ 200 HP
By the time the airframe of my prospected Cozy/Aerocanard will be
finished, there should be enough SUV's etc. wrecked for beautiful
salvaged engines.
