There seems to be a lot more tuning potential on the 1.9/2 litre pd's than that of the R5 engine that is fitted to the t5 van(europe) or the Touareg using the same engine. I'm now at 348bhp with a gen 1 gt2260 hybrid with ported head and other mods, but the head is the restriction because of the port design. Too much material removed here on the inlet or the exhaust will mean break through to the injector, oil or water galleries. I've had 1/2 pint of material removed with an increase of 3% but an increase is an increase.
I'm running with 2.6 bar of boost with an emp of around 3.5-4 bar but egt's are peaking at 980c with the water injection, this could possibly need a larger injector from the 5 that I'm running to a 7, but don't want to quench to much at low boost.
I had been having head lift a while ago but I've over come that at this present time but I'm building another engine with a lower compression and trying to do better than I currently have. I have a gen 3 gtb2260v from a bmw which is being vacuum converted as it will hopefully spool a lot sooner than my current hybrid, but I haven't decided on what wheels to use in the hybrid because of the potental restrictions in the head.
I aslo have +80 farid nozzles, balanced rotational stuff which includes lighted rods/pistons so around 600 grams lighter over oe.
So I need to ask the question of what path you guy's may take so I can make up my mind as I can't see the point of spending big $$$$ on something which I maybe at the limits of already.
The sachs 4 puck paddle is breaking away but I think that's the milage on the dmf.
Help always appreciated
