1.9tdi tuning

the sky's the limit

1) remap 170+hp
2) bolt-on hybrid turbo with exhaust and remap - 220-240hp
3) big turbo /exhaust manifold - 240-250hp
4) then add propane injection or bigger injectors for 260 or more hp
 
Digital tuning box appx 30% power increase 300ish quid

Resistor type tuning box 20 quid 30% more power in some cases none in others and very crude - not recommended!
 
If you can read your ECU number this may help you to see what your standard power output is;

Sort of on-topic, sort-of off-topic... But this occurred to me the other day actually...

As a really budget way of getting some more power out of my 1.9TDI - and without going down the road of hit-and-miss tuning boxes or more expensive remaps (as I'm not so thirsty for more power to justify spending £350-£500 on my current car); might it be possible for me to find an ECU (from a breakers or whatever) that would deliver higher-output than my current one, but be otherwise compatible enough for me to swap it over?

I know it's a bit of a left-of-field way of going about it, but I was just pondering how possible it might be when I was chatting to a mate of mine about doing similar things to his old Rolf and this thread reminded me of it all...

Regards,

Rob.
 
Well yeah, but I was just thinking that given tricks we've done with his Rolfs (sticking a different ECU on to bleed some more power out of it), perhaps there's the opportunity to do something similar to my car...

If it came down to spending £500, I'm not too fussed about increasing the power... I'm not particularly unhappy with it, I've better things to spend £500 on at the moment, and I'll be picking up a nice new company car in the next few weeks...

If it's possible to give it an extra 20 horses by pulling an ECU off a scrapper and installing it in my motor for a few quid though... :)

Regards,

Rob.

Ok, but what about a motor with more mature milage on it? Like mine has 128k, 5 years old?

No you couldn't just use an ecu off a higher output model as all the hardware is different ie turbo, MAF, injectors and the scaling wouldn't equate. If it's expensive I believe there's a nice little group buy going on over at evvo.co.uk the sister beetle forum to as.net ;)
