Hey guys...have kind of a stupid question.
Im in the market to dump the sbc 350 in my boat for a tdi
Im probably going to be shooting for the passat 2.0 tdi as the manifold will sit higher making water injection in the down pipe easier (must be below turbo to keep water from being sucked in) as well as keeping hot exhaust away from fiberglass.
My current motor is 260 hp but its usually ran around 3200 to 3500 rpm where its not using all of that. I never have a need to go full throttle to be honest.
The 2.0 puts out 130 ish hp.. I would like the ability to play with getting out more once the swap is done. Ive heard rumor these motors can handle 200 hp with ease by adding arp head studs. I dont want that much but i always say that until the more power bug hits. I dont need this boat to do more than 25 mph. Most speeds will be 8 to 10 mph crusing at or slightly above hull speed.
Im currently working with a guy to figure out electronics and ip issues. Im not 100% if this motor is throttle by wire (i need mechanical cable) and im not sure if this motor has any exhaust sensors( must be removed because of water injection)
If i can get rid of un needed sensors, imob and cluster i will be trying to keep the stock injection pump.
Ive done many diesels swaps but this one is the first with electronics.
As for turbo sizing something a little more efficient would be great! Something that didn't sacrifice power at 1600 to 2000 rpms and made power all the way to 3800 would be amazing!
Im sorry for the lack of knowledge. I cant find much info on the 2.0 swaps and nothing like what I'm doing.
I thank all of you ahead of time for any info or tips you can share with me
I would gladly use a fwd 1.9 tdi but im afraid the turbo sits too low. If manifolds could be swapped to have a higher mount turbo that would rock...but either way an entire car in bad shape is 1000 to 1500 and motors alone from 500 to 1000 locally. Id love to be able to jump on the first good runner i see but i want to make sure i make the right purchase the first time and check with you experts first.
