Anyone done this yet? Put in a new Tdi lump into a mk2? Im sure the torque will make for a very nippy motor?

Under consuction.. ;D ;D
Well in my head any way :D
I want to do that myself
pd150 in my mk2
1.8t in a audi coupe
s4 in a mk1/2
What do ya think?

I have been considering this and spoke to dubsport about it going into my mk1, they would charge 5k and its 4k for a 20v turbo engine.
The big problems are the gbox is a lot larger than the 20v and would require a lot of work to fit the engine shouldnt be much different than the 20v as they are same size nearly.
You will need a lsd as in my mk1 at least there would be a lot of traction problems at low revs, if you want to tune the engine there isnt much difference in the 130 and 150 as they both end up generating the same amount of torque but obviously the bhp would be different.
I dont think the engines are as easy to find or as cheap as the 20v.
With QPE selling that wiring kit for 900 now to fit a 20v to a mk2 digi if you are doing it yourself that would be the best way to do it in my opinion as 800 (possibly) for an engine sounds a wise investment.
hope that helps

doesnt sound that bad then.
thought it would of cost in the region as buyin a mint tdi
In a mk1...... you will be poppin wheelies ;D 8)

a tdi engine in a mk2 is a pretty fresh idea.
i havnt seen or heard of any mk2's on the uk dubbing scene at the moment that have this set up.....
has anyone else? ???
-
I have been considering this, someone i know has a 20v turbo and they said they should have gone for the tdi lump instead.
I've done a search but havent come across anything except for a few people in forums saying they have seen one smoke a g60, vr6 etc.
Strong engines, bags of torque, good economy :P
Paul, go for the s4 into a mk2, boy that would be quick.
-
randomjord is gonna do a conversion like that ::) ;)

If i had the money.
How much do ya reckon your could get a S3 or a S4 lump for any way?.
-
From what i have seen and heard the s3 lump also found in the TT is not worth buying because of the price they go for. Go for a 1.8t, the 150 or 180 bhp version, all you need is a bigger turbo and remap to get much more anyway.......I was offered a 1.8t engine with 14000 miles on the clock for ?700.......it all depends on how desperate you are and what your willing to pay for it.
S4 lump, your guess is as good as mine.
-
go for the tdi lump it can be done a lad over here done one and it was a tdi @ 170 bhp and 330 ft og torque at the wheels was a rocket

i think random jord got his s4 engine for about 700 bar ;)
-
Tufty any chance of any pics and any difference between installing that and a normal 20v turbo?
Anyone got any pics?
Torque, 330, damn.......

so1o the engine the lad used was a 110 bhp tdi he tuned it in his own garage. im tryin to get in contact with him to get some info about the engine but he is proven to b a hard man to get hold of. i know for fact that his golf beat an impreza wrx from a standing start golf 1 impreza o ;D
-

I drove a 2.0 turbo diesel Astra SRi yesterday, and was surprised by it's performance. This got me thinking about the 150bhp dub lump in a Mk2 - think that would be pretty impressive - more poke than my valver and about 50mpg :P
A guy on my course works on a race tuned 1.9TDi caddy (think it's for the works team, although they may privateers) - reckoned they were getting around 200bhp and 330lb/ft.. That much torque would be insane ;D
-
yea they would obtain that amount of torque n e how if they where runing 200bhp its the same as the skoda vrs tune them to 200 bhp and they pump out 330 ft of torque
