The Most Powerful Diesel Engine Since 2008
Рет қаралды 354,055
Күн бұрынUnprecedented, ludicrous, the most powerful diesel ever… there are various adjectives you can choose to describe Audi’s V12 TDI. It’s funny as not only there still isn’t another diesel V12 in a road car, but at the same time, none of the comparable engines ever received more power. We know it is special, but what motivated Audi to go full-crazy and create such a monster?

So they can cheat again? The race version car was not a diesel. Yes it used mostly the same principles (autoignition ) but it wasn't powered by pump diesel. They used some fancy fuel mixture for those cars. So long story short you have another aspect of VW diesel gate in race engines or false advertising depending on how you want to look at it.

Sounds alot like the pistons we use in the US on some stroker race engines. You move the wrist pin up in relation to the top of the piston, this shortens the overall height of the piston but the real reason for it is to allow the use of a longer connecting rod for a better rod ratio. These are sometimes referred to as "long rod" engines.

@@faxxzc well i’ve driven the SQ7 as a learner’s car when getting my hauling license. I’m temped to buy one, but because of shitty European emission regulations I started to think twice. My neighbour had an old Q7 with 4.2 V8 diesel which was not as spaceous as the SQ7 i’ve driven. The SQ7 TDI much better than the Q7 V12 TDI in every single way. Sportier, torque output is almost identical Q7=1000 Nm vs. SQ7=900 Nm, on horsepower Q7= 500 HP vs SQ7= 435 HP. Despite the lower power output, the SQ7 is faster. The SQ7 got the more reliable and responsive ZF 8 speed gearbox instead of the less reliable ZF 6 speed gearbox. The SQ7 is faster than that road ship of yours because it’s a lot lighter, and it’s more modern. Plus it’s more fuel efficient. I bet you’d get even more power out of that V8 than that V12 because you’ve got more space under the hood of the SQ7 to do crazier mods than with that humongous V12 which weighs over 300 kg and doesn’t leave any room for bigger turbos etc. So you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. I’d bet even the SQ5 V6 TDI would be faster than your roadship in a 0-60 and even a 1/4 mile race. Old diesels are 💩

Audi has a penchant for stuffing the most engine in the tightest spaces. It's not uncommon for the entire engine needed to be removed to replace a timing chain and tensioners which are not accessible any other way. Even a front mounted serpentine belt often requires the entire front bumper assembly and wheel well liners to be removed as well as the radiator partially unbolted for tilting making it more of a professional procedure than weekend warrior affair. In other words, to put the most engineered high-power engines in Audi vehicles means a dis-connect to ease of maintenance which Audi doesn't apologize for.

Naturally you have too many fans to even read never mind remember each comment but I recently responded to an older video about the best Audi engines. I mentioned I had worked for Audi franchises for nearly 20 years, during which time I had driven all except one of those featured. It may well have been the V12 TDI - we either had one at another branch where the Chairman was based, or we were going to get one but then didn't for some reason, it's that long ago, and even at the time, was that far removed from my job in finance on a different premises, the details are hazy. It would, for sure, have been interesting to try it! Regarding the various comparisons, it seems rather a futile exercise as even then, any 12 cylinder was a real rarity - just a handful like Rolls Royce and Ferrari, but a diesel one? Although Cummins do design engines for automotive installation, I would tend to say in that case, suitable for flat-bed truck type vehicles only: they're really suppliers of engines to a more "industrial" sector - like long distance haulage, big mining dump trucks and agricultural machinery - while it does beat the V12Tdi on torque, that's mostly because as you said, Audi had to limit it artificially to avoid exploding the gearbox. Otherwise an easy 1100lb/ft was possible. Factor in its full fat 500hp, when Cummins only musters 420, one begins to see just how advanced it was - not forgetting the Cummins is a 6.7 so has most of a whole litre extra capacity - making the Audi effort from 2009 yet more impressive. The most significant difference though, is it has a measly 6 cylinders! It's hard therefore to see how even tentative comparisons can be made, and what the value is of any such attempts. The latest Audi 4.0 V8TDIs are still shy on power and torque - but not by much that's for sure! 435PS and 900Nm is just 13% and 10% less than the V12's 500/1000 outputs despite 33% less volume. It's still only a V8 though, and just so much less interesting and unique - despite those highly impressive numbers. It wasn't that long ago that the C5 gen RS6s were trumpeting about 108hp per litre and yet here is a DIESEL car matching that. Nevertheless, the V12TDI was, and remains, absolutely unique - and I think for that, it deserves to be allowed its solitary and unquestioned disdain of "lesser machines" in perpetuity 😏

6:24 The fact that no diesel passenger cars have exceeded 500hp probably has something to do with the fact that it would be pointless. Fast diesels are great, yes, but at the end of the day a fast gasser will always perform better. So even a performance diesel is always going to need to focus on diesel advantages - fuel economy and pulling capability - over or at least in concert with raw performance. Past 500 horsepower, that's probably rather difficult to do no matter how you get there. The 4.0TDI and BMW's tri-turbo 3-liter are considerably slower than equivalent gas powertrains despite pushing 500hp, yet the difference in efficiency between them and their gas rivals is much narrower than with lower-performing diesels. I wager the American Big Three's truck diesels will eventually break the 500hp barrier, but that's going to be a side-effect of what the companies are actually after; torque.
@movinmetal2596 Жыл бұрын
The current L5P Duramax was designed to produce 550hp and over 1000ftlbs, power was reduced by 100 across the board for the sake of the transmission. It’s not difficult to produce high HP diesel engines, companies like Heath, Banks and Wagler have been making very powerful light-duty diesels for many years. Problem is in, as you said, one must sacrifice the economy and bountiful low-end grunt to achieve 500 plus HP. Interestingly, large gas engines are having a bit of a comeback lately with GM and Ford currently offering 400+ci V8s in their big pickup trucks.

@Retired Bore I'm talking about passenger vehicles, not commercial ones. Commercial vehicles here go up to nearly 1000hp easily, but tractor trailers are a completely different universe from Ford F250s and Chevy 2500s.
@movinmetal2596 Жыл бұрын
@Retired Bore If those 15 litre compound-turbo diesel Volvos didn’t make at least 600hp, then there’s something very wrong. I think the OP was referring to light-duty engines used in cars and light trucks
@joachimvzm4274 Жыл бұрын
@Retired Bore I really didn't need to. The American Big Three are General Motors, Fiat-Chrysler (or Stellantis, now), and Ford. None of those three make tractor trailers, which precludes my statement from including big rigs.
@joachimvzm4274 Жыл бұрын
@Retired Bore Stellantis' status as American or European is at most questionable, considering it's the result of a merger - not a takeover - of a French company with a previously merged pair of Italian and American companies. It is at worst questionable to call it American since in part it still is. I'm quite well aware that there's an industry outside of the USA, hence why I referred to engines that they don't sell in the USA. VW has never offered the 4.0 TDI in the USA, nor has BMW's tri-turbo 3.0 diesel been offered here. But I suppose expecting people to understand that there's an automotive industry outside Europe was a mistake on my part. To be sure, I'll make sure to explain in excruciating detail the nature of Ram, Ford, and Chevy trucks rather than assuming I'm talking to someone who can infer from context of "American Big Three" when next this subject comes up.

No it couldn’t replace a power stroke or a cummins because this is meant for racing, aka built for higher rpm, cummins and power stroke are made for low rpm, aka pulling 30k lbs uphill. All 3 are diesel engines but built for different purposes. Its definitely impressive. I personally own an F10 535d and its tuned, and yes higher hp diesels are nuts. I have a cummins as well tuned and a mk6 tdi lol. All for different purposes 😂

Such an incredible engine ! I have a 2013 golf wagon with the cjaa tdi, 6 speed manual, dpf delete, 2.5" downpipe and exhaust and an ecu reflash. It is an incredible daily driver ! It’s supposed to have 180hp and 320ftlbs of torque according to the company that did the ecu reflash, and I still get an average of 5L/100km on the highway ! And very reliable too ! I’m at 220000km on it and the only major thing that broke was the dpf that was replaced under the dieselgate warranty. It’s such a shame that vw lied about the emissions because that engine was one of the best they ever made ! By the way, the chevrolet duramax Wikipedia page says that the power output range of the engine was from 250hp to 550hp, but I can’t find any information about the 550hp version ! If it’s a road going version that would beat the v12 tdi of 50hp ! Maybe you could do a little research and maybe a video about that one too ! Thanks for your awesome videos ! I really like them and I’m following them since the beginning !

Yo on the Wikipedia it says this: The L5P duramax is the latest version of the Duramax V8 diesel engine.(engine code Y) Introduced in the 2017 model year it is the most powerful diesel pickup truck engine GM has produced with 445 hp (332 kW) at 2,800 rpm and 910 lb⋅ft (1,234 N⋅m) at 1,600 rpm. Design spec performance can exceed 550 bhp (410 kW) at 3050 rpm and 1,050 lb⋅ft (1,424 N⋅m) at 1975 rpm so basically no engines came with that much power but they can be tuned in stock form to make that much

3:46 The chain design is TOTAL rubbish! It is prone to premature wear and mounted at the rear of the engine, requiring engine removal to rectify. It's a typically German engine, great while it's running well, crazy expensive to fix if it isn't.
@faxxzc Жыл бұрын
Actually the chain design is very reliable, i know from first hand experience having disassembled two with higher mileage. No stretch to see. The weak point is the oil pump hex drive shaft that tend to wear round and stop turning the oil pump. Similar to 2.0 tdi engines where thats quite common. However in the v12 it lasts 300-400.000 km before that becomes an issue. Should not be overlooked however because it can total the engine. Look at my disassembly video if you’re interested
