jon_273 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Wow! Apart from the black 4motion one Bluloop posted I can't think of any other 1.9TDi's. Certainly looks a very tidy job, well done What BHP is it running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougless Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 That's really neat and understated, the wheels look perfect. I imagine you surprise a lot of people in that car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-man85 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Sweet as a nut! You can ignore my question but how much did this conversion cost you and how much work was undertaken by yourself/others?I need this conversion!Is that running on a stock ECU and using the original lupo clocks?

Adam Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 What an awesome machine! Have you got any more plans for it? Remap? Bodywork? Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo pd 150 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yes the airfilter is a concern,going to make somthing and drill some holes in frontpanel or use a standard airbox and relocate the battery in the boot. Shopping around for larger turbo at the moment and yes a remap is a must!!!!Cost......like i say is still in the 3 figures somwhere, I had a lot of parts in my stores!!!!!!Need to tidy up the body slightly but no other plans at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Very nice work indeed!How did you deal with the engine mounts if you don't mind me asking? I'm assuming they weren't in the same place for the 1.9.It looks very tidy - not often you see something like this spring up out of the blue!

lupo pd 150 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I just used a golf mk4 ECU, Added a fuel cooler under the car and fitted a in tank pumpI used polo ATD engine mounts and made a platform on the leg for it to sit on . ATD polo gearbox mounts and modified the leg and the 6 speed box for the mounts to fit . The wiring only took a couple of hours to sort as this was a sdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
