im thinking about binning my 1.9td out of my mk2 but in these harsh times im not sure what to put back in it dont want turbo or vr6 but would like something with some nuts, i can swap looms and engines but i dont know about the insides so it would have to be a complete engine, dont know what engine codes are in what car, im only a mere joiner

Consider a Corrado G60 engine. Good swap, and very tunable, although I would also budget for a compressor overhaul.
You would also need to consider a brake up grade and a suspension up grade. The brakes would come free with a suitable donor Corrado G60.
-
seems a shame to kill a rado however i do already have the front end
-
corrado donor......talk to me......
-
Surely the only way to go from a 1.9TD would be up to a 1.9 TDi?
More power, more economy.
What's not to like?
(rev range).

mk2 diesels are fairly sought after at the moment, so you'd do better to sell yours and buy a mk2 that has already had an engine conversion. Much cheaper. Easier to make a fast car out of a car that is already fast. Yours.....isn't fast.
-
the engine is out of a mk3. there isnt a great deal more power in a tdi, i dont think
-
What've you got out of the 1.9TD then?
You should be able to fetch 150-170bhp out of a TDi unit without too much trouble.
-
theres loads of potential in the old 1.9 tdis. Was it Simon Cooper (white mk2?) that was getting 12 second 1/4s with the old diesel?
-
150 -170 bhp. is that a mk3 engine or mk4. sounds like a plan
-
the non pd engines in the mk3 and mk4 were the same iirc
-
How about a PD150 engine from a mk4?

How about a PD150 engine from a mk4?
that's whats in mine. Its a lot more work to get that in than a non pd variant.
