Try getting a Xantia engine mate. Thats the route Ill be heading down eventually. Stronger bottom ends then the D turbo. Make for a good base to start tuning.
do you have to drop the engine out to change the turbo.thought the phase 1&2 306 d turbos are 75bhp and the phase 3 hdi is 92bhp
I dont mind answering questions at all mate, i hate forums that just say 'use the search function' and yeah, darren is a farmer from cornwall...
146k is still bugger all for these engine even for tuning....youll struggle to find one with a significantly lower milage on it, have a look by all means but good 1.9 dt's are hard to come by
^^^ Really? :blink:
Is that only for that particular car J or can I pass that tip onto a friend of mine that has a 308.
got some valvoline 15w 40 mineral oil mate,1l for £4,chears for the tip.Xantia 110 will be ethier a 2.1 xud or a 2.0 hdi, not a 1.9
Mineral engine oil in your fuel helps keep the pump abd injectors lubricated, buy a cheap bottle of mineral engine oil from tesco and put 500ml in every fill
Well, with me and you its tit for tat, like painting for spannering...lol
I would do but its a bit too much of a niche
... and people dont like to spend a great deal of money on french cars..
13t's are used on subarus as well...
Good turbo to go for... the 15G and 19T are also good but I'd stick with the 13T for it's all around ability...
how much power are you wanting Dave?
you can get 140 from the standard turbo and a decent intercooler and youll have a shed load of torque to go with it... id say compounds are only worth it past about 180hp/30psi
an ideal turbo that should be easy to get a hold of and shouldnt be laggy would be a GT2052 from a Landrover TD5, might even transplant into the T2 turbine housing....would be nice if it did...
Not so much these engines, it's the fuel pump that limits that. The governor spring on the throttle arm starts to cut fuelling past 4k rpm. The turbos on the earlier models (pre 1998 so no that early) are capable of making power to the red line. It's a trait of IDI engines to make good top end.
Bosch pumps are much better than the lucas ones, if you know what you are doing then it's a straight forward job but it's something that requires a lot of trial and error to get right
If you buy a mid section for a 1994/1995 dturbo which doesn't have the CAT in it then thats the easiest way to go.
Also if you want I can come and tune your motor for you, all it will cost you is a some diesel money and some food
Hi are you still able to help with engine tuning.
