mk1 caddy rustbucket goes from r32turbo to cupra tdi

[powernut]

hi all .most know i transplanted a forged r32 turbo 4wd .but due to new arrival .and cost of running it had to come out ..so i thought id throw 2.0 16v tdi in do away with all the eccessive wireing crap .removed immo.andcoded some crap out of the ecu .ie abs.steering.aircon.cluster faults etc .modifyed mounts into car .and piped it up after a few days were all up and running was on stock gt1749va turbo 140bhp .and used smaller wheels plus modifyed a higher tdi 6speed box and belhouseing to keep 4wd too(be winter soon lol) then fancyed more so modifyed a pd 170 turbo and fitted a gt2052v codeside and fairly inpressive .but limited as i maxed stock injectors.so sure these will squeeze more ive decided to make a start on a manifold and add a bigger turbo .plus upgraded race nozzles.hopeing maybe inpressive .might just be me exspecting too mutch from a diesal compaired to the r32 lol but ill give it a try .if anyones after turbos ive got 3mint gt1749va from the bkd 2.0 engine .1 modifyed pd170 or can refit oringal houseing.also a gt2256v from a bmw .i was going to gt2260vk but these arnt upto lasting boost .so bigger we go .all fun stuff .few engine pics

That'll be quite a mover once it's finished I'd have thought!

R32 blocks are expensive to keep replacing too I'd think

Looking good at least ur sticking with what the caddy should be which is a tdi lol

Am watching this space love it

 

[powernut]

lol only reason was fueling the r32t dosent look as fancy ..i was looking at the v10 tdi ..but time was the problem .so thought id pop a little 2.0 in .im not overly up on these oil burners .but ill .see what i can shove ovt of it .hopeing the 4wd will come in.. upratted injectors are in too...

 

[mk4 cupra]

The tdi engine is easly tuneable and won't disappoint at all once some money is put into it lol
And the 4 wheel drive will help when putting the high torque down

 

[powernut]

well so far race 1287 nozzles manifold gtb2265vk (upgrade wheel) solid mass clutch and 6 paddle clutch .unsure what else needs upgrading but please add lol

That manifold looks spot on and so does the out let pipe this caddy is going to be something very special

Waiting to see the video runs of this now with added soot

 

[powernut]

well tbh .i spent 2k on a r32 includinding turbo.ecu.forged pistons rods.clutch upgrad es.injectors

etc. .so far far this one has cost me
650 for complete engine .injectors and manifold.and turbo .so very cheep so far ..next need to order a intercooler kit ..and tunieing time lol

 

[MarkWales]

Shame you went for the 170 not the 150 tdi - would be interesting to see what you achieve

well they will be plenty of soot fumes i fired ot up today and due to no remap yet smokes nicely with over fueling lol
way u guys thinking this oil burner may be nippy .i carnt see it .maybe im wrong but a but of a petrol head tbh .ps paddle clutch arrived too(6 paddle type)

 

[mk4 cupra]

I know my slef I would of gone for the 1.9 tdi pd150 or pd160 engines my slef

These tdi engines can be very nippy lol my pd160 stage 1 Ibiza Cupra tdi makes a lot of people think what the hell goes that qwick with that much smoke lol.
It's the torque levels of the tdi Engine that make it go well.
To behonest with the pd engines If u have the money there is no reason why it carnt be quicker than a petrol there is a few people on hear running 280 bhp plus out if there pd160s and pd 150s

why the pd 150 1.9 ? id have personly thought 2.0 16 16v .maybe more torquey?
