2.1TD Swap

[Dum-Dum]

i'd say wih my hdi box and revised lda settings i'm close to 60mpg as home, work, ace, home which was about 180miles cost about £15-£20 at a guesstimate lol.

Well Ive done work-norfuck-home tonight on a quater of a tank. 240 miles and id guess at about 4.5-5.5gal so 50mpg even with my leak offs pissing out fuel.

Would like to see the torque figures for this i managed 240ft lbs with just a TD04L on a Gov Modded 9mm (no internal mods other than gov) just turned fuelling up

I think if were talking a 20-30% increase standard to standard it might get that modified so 20-30% on 240lb/ft is 290-310lb/ft meaning that mounties 300lb/ft is about right

Where abouts in Norfolk? Might drive by

Diss. Im home now though. wasnt in a mood for hanging about, had a long day at work (with the new toy youll of seen on facebook) and didnt much fancy extending my 6 hour drive in the dark and rain.

Good luck with it Chris, be sure to wizz me out in it if and when you finish it.

Cheers mate. Hopefully itll be running before the christmas meet.

VNT, the 2.1 is crying for, a VNT

It is but the clutch will cry if i fit a VNT. I want to get it running an a modestly sized WG turbo before I start bending rods. I honestly think this could comfortably run enough torque to ra*e a standard valeo on a good tune and i just dont have the money for upgrades on top of the 2.1TD fitting and it needing a new clutch and having paid for several turbos to make a hybrid that fits.

A 2.1 project then? is this the next step for your sedan?
I was tempted to try the same thing myself, but maybe on the next car as im pretty happy with the current setup.
I would defiantly recommend a twin scroll turbo as you can cruise along all day at 70mph hardly using any boost, then soon as you plant your foot down the pull is almost instant. do some research into lgv and truck turbos, not sure how much more room the 2.1 lump takes up than the 1.9, but i cant see gearbox mounting a turbo the same way I have been an issue. really interested to see how this works out as if its successful it may be the push i need to start my next build

It is indeed. 2.1TD sedan FTW

I think i said in your thread ive looked into twin scroll turbos alot for one of the beemers so a Iknw a fair bit about them but just not yet.

This car is supposed to be project cheap.
