hi ,i'm new on here ,i'm hopeing to swap my mk1 caddy engine, its a 16v 2.0 on bike carbs just now ,but i've just bought a 1994 passat tdi (90bhp)
which i'm going to fit ,the thing is derves are a bit new to me & i want to get more power & keep it as minimal as poss cos the engine bay is all
detailed & decluttered,so less is more ,specialy where the wirings conserned.
any help / info would be great
A chip will give you the most bang for your buck if you are looking for a simple way to get more power. I have an Upsolute chip that I paid over $500 bucks for a number of years ago. Now that my TDI has a mechanical pump on it ,I have no use for it. If you are interested I will sell it for $175.00 CAN.
I believe he has a AAZ engine not a TDI.
did AAZs come with 90 hp?
did TDIs come in 94?
OP, please put your location in your profile so that we can be sure... but I'm guessing you're from Canada... which means you probably have a Passat with an AAZ engine, which is an IDI design as opposed to a TDI... important distinction as you're wanting to learn about tuning. For example... TDIs respond well to bigger injectors... where bigger injectors are probably not worth the time or money on an IDI.
The FAQ's got lots of good reading... differences between IDI and TDI engines, turning suggestions for the AAZ engine if that's what you've got etc.
In fact... perhaps you even have a sample of a 1994 TDI MJF ??!!!
Different configurations came out at different times across the world... which is why we suggest folks put their location in their profiles.
It also helps when the inevitable "where can I get an XXXX for my YYYY" questions come up.
Quick little scan shows he lives in the Mulhurst, AB area.
Could have had one imported. Could be a swapped motor. Could just be an AAZ.
Chris I believe it is? Can we have a picture of your engine bay please.
