Is there anyway to convert a cayenne to a biodiesel capable vehicle? I'm not sure if you can do it with a turbo but how about an S or regular cayenne? I'm not a mechanic so please excuse my ignorance..
No way, unless you do an engine/powertrain swap and a massive change to the whole electronics in the vehicle. Might as well throw everything out and use just the shell of the vehicle.
It will likely cost more than the Cayenne itself.
It's just the wrong kind of engine/fuel/ignition system. Think of how it will screw up the PSM.
Gasoline needs to be vaporized in the cylinder to become an air/fuel mixture. Diesel/biodiesel is too thick to be vaporized using the same fuel injection system.
Gasoline needs a spark to be ignited. Diesel relies on a higher compression ratio to compress the air/fuel mixture until it explodes.
Why, why do you ask? Unless this is a mad science project I can't see why the idea even crosses your mind.
