Aftermarket diesel engine management - jammapic - 09-06-2014
Been playing with one of these today, what a bit of kit!

Aftermarket management for anything commonrail diesel... Would make mapping VNT, watermeth, NOS etc on a HDi an absolute doddle.

They are still about £4000 though

Hell no... no-where near that mate!!

Not what the mag article on their website appears to indicate for swapping a TDV6 into an older P38 range rover. £6k for the conversion and only £2k of that was the mechanicals? Gotta be about £6k-£2k + £4k surely?
If not how much are we talking with the loom and injector drivers for say the DV6 lump as thats the most similar to the DW lumps?
RE: Aftermarket diesel engine management - jammapic - 09-06-2014
Eh? The simtek kit is £3540, but contains lots of bits like modified downpipe, modified front propshaft, full custom wiring loom blah blah blah.
I think the ECU + IDM is about £1500.

Thats still a huge wad of cash for what it would return on a HDi surely!?
better money spent on a GTB!?
RE: Aftermarket diesel engine management - jammapic - 09-06-2014
Yeah, it is a lot of scratch for a HDi - I get that... but if you were doing it properly and wanted to get it absolutely spot on, with a big VNT, big nozzles, water meth, NOS, launch control, traction control blah blah blah it would be the way forward.
I suppose, tbh, HDi's are probably too cheap now to warrant that kind of kit.
If only I still had mine....

Yeah I think so...
the big boys with vags Im sure be interested.
I think gains wise, you would get a lot on a standard HDi 8v ecu on a 2.0 16v block/head with a GTB. Like easily 200bhp+. All for less than £500 if you were smart with finding the bits
RE: Aftermarket diesel engine management - C.A.R. - 09-06-2014
I volunteer my car as testbed provided I get use of your GTi6 in the meantime?!

I think you are right. To be honest, even an 8v with a GTB and a choice set of injectors will piss 200hp.
I have mapped a couple of decent power ones now, with mediocre turbos alone they make 190+.

You wouldn't want it... anyone that can tolerate the horrific noise, smell of fuel inside and geometry setup that only works on a track (like tries to rip your hands off on anything but the smoothest of roads) deserves a medal... hence I don't drive it very much!

I believe that there is an ECU by Adaptronics that can be used for Diesel applications.
