Also interested to know if you have experience with the 1.9TDi and if you can compare the two, particularly interested to know how 'revvy' the 1.7 is compared to the 1.9, due to it's shorter stroke etc. Cheers. Mapping all done by Nathan found at RCH tuning, hes the one to contact for that info. I have a link on the youtube film below. I do think this is an easier revving engine to other 1.9tdi i have drive its similar to the later P130 in the way it drivs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 This really should be turned into a kit. Send off the ECU and money, receive back another or flashed ECU and a box of bits. Sorted. It's all bolt together... No guarantees on the gearbox or drive train of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, what do you see this as a kit price wise, I reckon it could be a small market, and to make it worth doing it’s not gonna be cheap. then as you say, if the buyer then drives it without the gearbox in mind it’s gonna break stuff.

mk2 Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 Which exhaust manifold did you end up using? I wonder if there's an inlet manifold that'll bolt straight on. The volvo one you had to cut and weld. The stock dub one sits too high... I think that's the only sticking point? Pretty much everything else is off the shelf.
