From memory, I do think it has different injectors and a DPF on the 170. The 140 doesn't have the DPF (or at least not most of them). Being that we kept Ryans car together with 300hp I don't think I'd worry too much about the strength of the engine for most builds. The internals may be different, but I doubt it's worth the trouble and if you're really going for some land speed records I would build the bottom end with some aftermarket rods anyway.
PD170 is Siemens Injection and Management. The Rods are stronger on the BMN PD170 compared to the BKD (The BKD has the same rods as the 105PS 1.9, the BMN has the same as the PD130/PD150) but these would be swapped with Rostens if we bent one. We keep trying but it won't die.
Injectors were the main thing I was curious about. It should be fun either way in a sub 2000lb rwd hatch back lol. Must start saving.
That would be good fun. Get saving and drop me an email
Can the Mk5 be converted to AWD easier than a MK4? Ryan you should look into that...
With all the parts at his disposal over there its a bolt in affair
Ryan, do you know if your turbo kits will fit in a Ibiza 6J 2.0L FR TDI?
This is the CR engine right?? We are working on a CR Kit, but it is a minefield! I have your email, will reply soon
The 170 engines have a cast alloy inlet manifold, 140 have a plastic.
Not sure if there's any internal difference tho, never removed mine....
Alex.
Early BKDs had the Alloy Manifold, 06- had plastic. The PD170 have a plastic one with flaps controlled by a vacuum actuator. There are other differences I mentioned before
Are you also doing bigger valves on the ported BKD head?
Have you tried Firad 1043 +100%?
Congrats on the numbers. 16v FTW
There is not much space on the 16v head to put bigger valves, the head guys I have worked with both think it is a lot of work and expense for little gain. A good porting job would suffice. Remember these figures are BEFORE the ported head, which is why we rekon most people will take it to this level and stick to that.
Do you have the Firad number for these Nozzles? They sound like the 8v to me, 16v nozzles are different and the largest we could find we Bosio R1287+. We have some custom ones on the way. Can't wait for them to arrive.
Thanks for the kind words everyone, I hope to have some good progress over the next month or 2.

RudolfDiesel - I will get you the logs you want to see when I get the car back, hopefully you are impressed
Remind me in a few weeks, I am liable to forget
