Who's built a powerhouse 1.6TD?

Basically says "100 HP is easy to make" - includes instructions

The 1V was the Eco and the worst engine to compare. I agree there is no replacement for displacement though.

If you want to build an engine and don't want to put a ton into it the 1.6 rods are probably the last thing I would ever replace. They are very robust, same with the crankshaft. On a 1.9 they are what I would replace first as they are not as thick as the 1.6 and they are longer, and the 1.9 has more force going to them.

To make a 1.6 a faster car you should look at all of the forum. It is quite easy, but we would really need to know your goals.

Funny, because the 1.9s are close to 3
$3000 down here.. How much did you think I was going to spend on my lil 1.6?

Engines cost $250 more than the lowest sale price anywhere in the country.  Anyway, you're probably right.  Do it your way.  Good luck.

i endorse this message

i think the 1.9 bottom end issue is due to the longer stroke and more power/smaller turbo.

We've dynoed 173whp on a bone stock 1V Ecodiesel bottom end and a stock AAZ head, easypeasy

I have a 1.6td biturbo powerhouse in the making but don't recommend building anything similar to anyone, not cheap to say i mildly...

So many posts to respond to.. I'll get to them later.

My goals are to build a beefy 1.6 that I daily.

If u do a 1.6 up with a ported head and upgraded intake with a modern turbo and performance injection pump, u may see impressive results

That's what I'm thinking, I'm not trying to build a rocket, just something that is reliable and can move.

[theman53]

Just bolt a performance pump on. Jessabug or rockerchick did that with their jetta and says it moves quite well.

Anyone ever thought about an HE211 sucking from an eaton MP45?

I want this setup in a 85 MR2

On a diesel or original engine???  U could do a much larger turbo if ur using a supercharger too

[dodger21]

But anything bigger is way out of the 1.6Ls efficiency. Unless others have used an HX35. That would be the next step up from the HE2xx size.

[RabbitJockey]

Yeah but if you have a supercharger the efficiency changes.  The next step would be more like an hx30.

HX35 series is WAAAAAY too big, even for a 1.9 diesel;  there just isn't enough flow to spool the huge turbine.  This of course is speaking of the turbo by itself, since I know of literally no one in the country who has made a super-turbodiesel.

Not a VW to my knowledge but a Cummins and Duramax have been.
