de-cat diesel? 1.4 tdi

Featured Replies

good old 3 cylinder 1.4 :D.

Pipercross panel filter, passat side mount intercooler (slightly longer) and a remap. not sure of bhp but she's runnin 256Nm on the torque scale, not bad seen as they're 195 standard.

Lookin at getting hold of some PD130 injectors but they are expensive little things and rarely come up second hand from what i've seen. Also got a boost controller but want to get a gauge in first before I start manually pushing the stock turbo higher. May hold out till I've got more money and trade her in for a GT, but I have a lot of love for the 3 cylinder, think its the underdog factor more than anything...

nice, is there any point in 130 injectors? would they even fit the 1.4? imo i would save and buy a 1.9tdi, so much better and easier to get power out of

mine is 352.82nm or 260lbft

surprises alot of people i will tell you.

far as I know the 1.4 deisel engine is almost identical to the 1.9, its just 1 cylinder less. the 1.9's have a different exhaust manifold (obviously, theres more cylinders) and turbo, but I think the fuel system is the same, including injectors (just one less). I could be wrong though and need to do a bit more reading on the matter.

As for the point, I'll only do it if i can do it cheap, if its gunner cost, I'll save for a GT, more fuel = more power at the end of the day, plus its just something else to tinker with. I've suprised a couple of standard 1.9's as she's running more torque and potentially more bhp than a standard one, also bullied a friends focus titanium, but in his defence he did have more stuff in his car than I did.

My car has just failed the MOT on the back box! ..its pretty crusty. :-( If only it would pass the MOT without one! so.. anyone who's taken theres off fancy selling it to me?!

Remap is the best bet mate.

Wont get more "bang for your buck" for less.

for information on TDI's check out this site. Dedicated to all things TDI :)

my daily car is a 1.9tdi seat leon. It was the 110bhp model, but now its over 150bhp, due to various tweeks :p
