16 Valve HDi?

Ill reply in here instead of pm chat that way everyone can see

Basically yes the 16v head will fit right onto a DW10 bottom end as the blocks are identical, but unless your rebuilding the motor, it wouldnt be worth the hassle as you would have to change all the pistons etc (nozzle angle change / 4 valve cutouts)..so be easier to run with the complete 16v dw motor to start with in your boots id have thought....Unless your planning on rebuilding it like me however...in which case blocks are identical...

Im not hugely clued up with common rail, so as for injectors I cant tell you, basically, if the bosch management will fire siemens injectors, then id imagine it would be fine....but if there not compatible, then you will need to source other CR injectors as the nozzle angle is different to the 8v obviously, and you dont want any holes in the pistons

But no reason why you couldnt run a complete 16v hdi motor on orignal bosch management with custom injectors.... there are quite a few other higgles as well that you would have to overcome, but nothing hugely major....
