Hello all,
I previously had a 2.0HDI stage 2 mapped and running about 165BHP, built by a friend. Sold this a year ago however this week I am purchasing a 1.9 D turbo, XUD.
I'm just wondering, what's the best way of getting near to 165BHP with this car? Can anyone just list parts I would need to get me close to there?
Thanks,
Steve
Modified Bosch pump and a larger turbo will see that power
Turbo will need adapting to fit
Have a search there's loads of info
Welcome to the forum.
The possibilities are endless really.
Have a read of people's project threads that will give you a good idea of what options there are
Thanks for prompt replies!
Any build threads to read that you would recommend?
Yeah most of them are pretty awesome tbf!
Okay, I will do some digging, if you come across one for mods on a 1.9, please send me a link to it
You really want a fmic before lookin at that sort of power. Then get bosch pump and bigger turbo. Screw out the pump and do the gov and lda mod. Should see good power gains but dont know if thats enough for 165 horses or not.
FMIC, T25/TD04L/GT20XX, 9mm bosch will see 165 fairly easily.
Three fairly simple mod's.
Don't NEED to go FMIC for those power gains. Spend the money on a more efficient turbo and set it up right and temps will be fine...its when peeps wind their td04s to 35psi that you start to cook the inlet
I was running 40psi on a top mount with td04 just have some sympathy and it's fine
If you drive like a twat and are flat out all the time it's not going to be healthy
I like the look of a front mount though but then would be more of a sleeper if I didn't have one. What is the standard clutch like for that power? Anyone recommend what clutch would be better? I had a Helix clutch on the HDI I owned.
Also with regards to cooling, the standard cooling will be alright wont it?
If you were ragging it like on a track for ten mins or so it'll get hot. An occasional burn through the gears and it'll be fine.
Don't think the standard clutch would take the power. Need an uprated one
What clutches are people running who are running higher power please?
I pulled 177bhp and 249lbft on a luk clutch
do you guys run EGT guages? or just play it by ear?
