Original engine block and 350hp? Yes or no?

devonutopia · Oct 15, 2014

My PD130 has spent most of its life above 220bhp, the majority around 250-260 and the lpast 3 years or so hovering around 280 - 315bhp depending on nitrous. Aiming now with DSSR 130% nozzles to get a daily 320bhp. That's my rough aim and then I think I will stop.

Hahah, you will not be able to stop, it is an addiction!
You have a built bottom end though right? Not stock?
I have gone the other route of adding lightness - mk1 tdi will be ready next year!

devonutopia · Oct 16, 2014

Only got rods. Everything else is stock bottom end.

My engine went in my car with 7,360 on the clock @ 220bhp from the start and it's now approaching 150,000 @ 300+. The bottom end [fingers crossed] has been 100% reliable. Also noted on injector swap that my Dbilas cam is showing hardly any wear at all after a good 4 years+ use). The only point of concern was the start of injector seat wear and rubbing marks on one side of the injector body.

That's quite a lot of power for this engine. Does the UK tax based on engine size as well? I've lived 6 years throughout Europe and they did in most areas, which is why people tuned these small engines. Also most countries check and match the engine to the car.

Point being that with all that money and work, a larger engine swap would be a cheaper option. Obviously you're not doing it for the economy. However, a larger engine is always more reliable than an equivalent powered smaller high strung engine.

My turbo fitted on pd manifold... oil lines and air intake fit like on original turbo

Mikkijayne · Oct 31, 2014

Is that a new flange welded to the manifold?

Only on CO2 output, so mine is still a cheap car to tax compared to many.

^depends on year of first registration.

This is true. My car is a March 2001 so literally came into the new system right at the start.

£120 a year rather than £220 odd.

Yes, made also from cast iron

Question about oil return line
I placed gtb2260 on exactly the same place as original and original oil lines match to 2260 turbo, but original oil return line from 2260 is 4mm wider than 130hp tdi turbo
Is that ok?
Heres pics
These is oem pd tdi 1.9 turbo

And these from 2260 turbo

Turbo placed on engine same as original

Exhaust manifold is done

Ported welded flange

And intake ported to fit 63mm pipe on

Jandro · May 21, 2015

finaly done
370hp and 570nm of torque and for now no problems
stock engine internals

good score mate, could you write short summary of all the mods you have doen again please? is it stock GTB2260vk or hybrid? what kind of boost? and what the EGTs are? how does it feel on the road? how is the spool?

Jandro · May 21, 2015

turbo ih hybrid
spool is great, fool boost at 3500rpms, on 2000 i have 1bar so it is good to drive
boost is 2.7bar

mods: gtb2260vk hybrid, ported head, 120%+ firad nozzles, 272 degree pipercams camshaft, ported intake manifold, 800x300 fmic with 64mm piping, turbo back exhaust 76mm, smf clutch kit, 4 bar map sensor, custom air intake, 12,9 head studs and a few more details
about egt, i have egt gauge in car and so far I have not passed 450 degrees (very big exhaust turbine housing)

X-Man · May 21, 2015

could you say more about the turbo please? what size is the compressor wheel and turbine ? the housing looks like stock GTB2260vk so probably just rebored, EGT 450??? at 370bhp? this is very hard to believe

devonutopia · May 21, 2015

EGT 450 Celsius? Is the sensor in the tailpipe?

Sounds like good power. I'd like to see it on several dynos before making mind up. I similar mods, 2.8 bar boost, and not passed about 320/330bhp.

Jandro · May 21, 2015

turbine intake is 7mm bigger than original, exhaust 2mm bigger
on my egt gauge, i have never passed 450degrees
probe is in manifold, before turbo
car is runned on dyno six times, at 2.5 bar 340hp, than 35x, than 364 and 369 at 2.7 bar, on 2,8bar boost 372hp and we again go to 2,7 and final run was 369hp

from 100 to 200kmh, less than 9 seconda

Yucca · May 21, 2015

Our 1.9TDIs make 335-350bhp with 2.5bar boost. So your power levels looks ok.

What Exhaust Manifold Pressure levels? I dont believe those numbers if EMP is sky high.

X-Man · May 22, 2015

the EGT probe must be faulty or is not deep enough in the manifold 450 degrees is what stock car can easily produce...

mk1-83 · May 22, 2015

after saw the dyno video, youre egt can never been 450 C.
it smokes bad, when there is smoke egt are way up range 950+

mine lupo have 450 c. at 130 km/h in 5e.
and 950 C. max
277hp and 590 nm.

mk1-83 · Mar 13, 2016

What dyno youre using ? And size of THE turbo Wheels

Original engine block and 350hp? Yes or no?
