mk4 tdi engine

cud ne1 help me, i got a 110bhp lump in ma golf n was wonderin wot the difference is between a 110 n a 150 wot makes the difference in power whether its ecu or tuning?????????

hello dude il see wht i cn find out see if my ecu makes a difrence i got a 150bhp tdi lump just sittin there

think the 150's were a complete redesign of the internals of the engine, also, injectors, turbo, manifolds, and ecu are completely different??

think a 110 will map up to about 135 ish, maybe more depending on where u get ti done, and how good your internals are....but if ya want more power, i'd get a 150 to start with??

a wise man once told me "dont build a car u can buy"

i see your point there rixy......i got all the 150 bhp gear 4 sale dude engine box clocks keys ecu etc

at the right price

coolness, what is "the right price" just out of interest?? im gonna be building another muther of all track cars soon, and diesel might power it?? will be a complete hybrid though??

good point actually,rixy i here your the man to talk to about engine conversion's........

is it possible to put this lump in my mk1 karmann?????? people are telling me it's not worth it but i couldn't dissagree more!!

im putting the mk4 dash in my mk1 and having it all smoothed and euroed! in new audi white
i desperatley want this engine in is it possible if so can you or do you know some one who will??

cheers m8

of course it is possible, everything is possible.....the vw world has shown me that.......

however, it is not an easy one.....actually getting it to fit, is prob not that hard? but the wiring would be a total nightmare.......

im happy to have a go if need be, but the timescale could be huge, as it would take days of re wiring i'd imagine?? plus the need for extra fuel pumps etc, as pd's run a fuel pressure of like 120psi or something??

but would be one hell of a monster when its done, thats for sure....

You'd be better off finding an earlier 110GTTDI lump, as there were pre PD enginges, and should be easier to wire up? these can then be chipped to about 130? But if you've got the 150, and the balls to have a go, then y not??

well iv got all the fuel lines the tank all the wiring iv got a car electrician who can do the wiring it's just simply making it ready to run my m8's dad owns an engeneering company so any parts can be made literally any thing

the clocks will be going in with the dash it's just a cae of getting someone to fabricate it......i want this engine to go in but like i said everyone says impossible i still think not lol i litterally have everything i need just need someone i even have a workshop with a 4 post ramp and spray booth and jig some one help me lol

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT. I thought it would have been basically imposible, or tremendously expensive to convert, sorry for doubting your ideas Ash .

nah, in theory, the actual engine should fit in relatively easily, dpending on what gearbox u gonna run with it......

as vw have not changed the external casting of their 4cyl block for over 30 years, lol.......so they all fit, hence why its so easy to retro fit the right engines in the wrong cars.....

the gearbox will be where u struggle?? as if u run the gttdi one, that'll be cable change, and will mean fitting a cable selector and hydraulic clutch pedal assembley etc?? unless u can find a td box from a mk3 or summit? that way it'll be diesel ratios, but rod change and cable clutch??

well like i said guys i do have everything there waiting,original gearbox tht came with the gttdi engine i literally have everything except drive shafts wiring turbo ecu everything it's just a case of making it fit like you say rixi if we can get to work on this asap i will be over the moonige haha

so where do i start?? if it's easier for me to store the car my way or yours?? i dnt mind all is well im easy just wanna get the project moving

im not gonna be able to help ya for a good couple of weeks / month to be honest mate, i got this gtd conversion im in the middle of, and then i got a tdi conversion on a 1.9d t4 to do........and in the middle of this i gotta fix the missus's tdi golf......
