Post by: MK3TDi1996 on 22 August 2009, 06:37

As above really, where can I find uprated bits + bobs? asked on here a while back but never got anywhere with it! - Ohyea, 1996 'AHU' engine.

What parts are you looking for.

Well,

What can I do?

you can't do much I guess.

Ask on tdi forum is your best bet as the mk3s are mostly petrol. Sorry for not being much of a help.

whats is the greater plan that needs uprated internals, as in forced induction?

well, I intend to give it a better turbo, so I want to be sure the internals can handle it, on top of that, i'm going to be reconditioning the engine and thinking i'd like to put new + improved pistons, cams etc etc, just wondering what my options are

Have you considered a swap for a mk4 tdi lump, as those put out stupid power/torque when mapped?

So I hear, thing is, i figure with the price of the engine/loom/box + hassle! - I might be better sticking to my AHU - could be wrong...

You would be suprised how much uprated internals are..... lol.

The fact you cant find them, tells you they are going to be expensive, if they  exist. lol

this is true...

VW themselves used a 1Z engine tuned to somewhere in the region of 200bhp and won rallies with it!

Title: Re: Where to buy uprated engine internals? - Diesel

Just drop a 130/150 pd engine in for less than you could buy pistons, cam an turbo.

Tunned to hell 1Z - 200bhp, VW would have spent thousands on this engine.

130/150 - remap 190bhp - Could be done for under 1.2?

Would need to look into exhaust sizes for the mk4 engine, but might be able to get away with maybe an 8v gti exhaust size? Not sure.

Title: Re: Where to buy uprated engine internals? - Diesel
Post by: Adam on 22 August 2009, 13:41

The TDi exhaust is the same bore as the GTi I thought?

Drop a mk4 PD in it and turn your car into a real sleeper.

Post by: boneybradley on 22 August 2009, 14:24

check the german websites (ebay etc) for diesel tuning as they like there soot machines, oh and the higher powered 1.9td has the same exhaust size as the 16v  :wink:

Unless it's crazy power you're going for 300+ I'd say the standard guts should be able to take it.

Just rebuild it with new stock parts and you should be fine.

I know of a S/c ABF which is nearly 300hp with stock internals and that get's thrashed rotten :grin:

Title: Re: Where to buy uprated engine internals? - Diesel
Post by: MK3TDi1996 on 22 August 2009, 16:25

forgive my ignorance but, what's s/c abf?

Supercharged 16v engine

I would say your clutch will go far before any engine internals.

Before you do any big torque mods get yourself a VR6 clutch and a G60/16v SM flywheel.

Title: Re: Where to buy uprated engine internals? - Diesel
Post by: MK3TDi1996 on 22 August 2009, 16:46

so i'll need a 3 piece VR6 clutch and a G60/16v SM (what is SM?) flywheel?

Title: Re: Where to buy uprated engine internals? - Diesel
Post by: Adam on 22 August 2009, 16:52

That's to be safe the torque wont pull the clutch apart. 

Single Mass opposed to Dual Mass.

Title: Re: Where to buy uprated engine internals? - Diesel
Post by: boneybradley on 22 August 2009, 16:59

mk3's only came with single mass (we don't like the expense!)

Title: Re: Where to buy uprated engine internals? - Diesel
Post by: Wayne on 22 August 2009, 22:56

Unless your going mad, standard internals should and will be fine.
