nils 6l Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I sold my Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.9 TDI (240 HP / 360 lbft) so I could drive 1 daily and 1 circuit car.I bought a Seat Arosa 1.4 TDI because I drive 33.000 miles a year.Only the standard Arosa is far to slow if you are used to 360 lbft.The previous owner did some tuning for me. The engine is a new rebuild and has only driven 5500 miles since the build.It all began with this Arosa 6H2.Arosa 1.4 tdi AMF optins aircon electrical windows electrical mirrorscentral locking with remoteMods1749v turbo ARL injectorsG60 flywheel VW Golf IV clutchOriginal gearbox housing with VW Golf IV TDI gearsH&R CoiloverBorbet T 14 inch 8J ET 15 with 195/45R14 tyresIt's quick enough to chase an Audi TT 180HP up to 125 mphComming soonLupo interior4 x Toyo T1-R tyres Edited May 5, 2011 by nils 6l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexTRea Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thee saddest question ever.. But what's the fuel consumption like with the extra 60/70 bhp and the new turbo and injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jase Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thee saddest question ever.. But what's the fuel consumption like with the extra 60/70 bhp and the new turbo and injectors?At a guess from running a couple of modded diesels id guess it to be as good as a standard motor, may even get better mpg at cruising speeds as will be off boost more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils 6l Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 It's even far better.The reason for that is because the original turbo is a conventional wastegate turbo.This is a VNT turbo wich is responding much faster at low revs.More torque (in low revs especially) makes the car much more economic.It does 23 km's with 1LWhen I really push it it still does 18 km's with 1L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTRea Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 That's brilliant news!What's the engine like under the extra strain/power and how does it cope?Sorry about all the questions just I'm looking into doing this to my tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils 6l Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 That is 54 mpg driving normal (I'm a sporty driver)And just 42 mpg when I really step on it.. (driving over 90 mph)On the highway it drives like a much bigger car. Because of al the torque in low revs you can drive real lazy. It holds up very good and drives very comfortable, but is quick enough to tease much (stock) faster cars.It only sounds and react like a 3 cylinder when it's idling. When you drive it it feels much more like a 4 cylinder.I'm used to much faster cars, and it's not like you're going to outrun a stock Golf V gti, but is is fast enough to chase an Audi TT 180 HP up till 125 mph. And the fun-factor is that nobody expects this from such a small car. If you wan't it to be really quick you should invest in something like this: http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78711 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTRea Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 That's good economy And if I could afford to put a 1.9 in I would love too!! How many miles has the arosa got on it? And how do the standard components of the tdi cope with the uprated turbo and injectors? And have you any idea how much the other guy/you have spent on getting 140ish bhp out the car?

nils 6l Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 There already is more then 140000 miles on the car.When the conversion was done 2 months ago, he put in a new engine with 62000 miles.The car is holding up very well.I don't know how much he spend in total, because he's good frieds with the best diesel tuner from the Netherlands. A lot of thinks were done without any cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
