Hello Guys,I'm new in here.
I drive '97 Vitara with 1.9td XUD9. It's not very popular engine in my country (Poland), especially because of tons of HDI newer models in Peugeots/Citroens, so I can't find almost any information about tuning this engine.
The setup is: XUD9 with turbo (rebuilt, but serial KKK turbocharger), intercooler (TMIC), tweaked a little bit Bosch 9mm pump, Bosch injectors, about 85 horsepower.
Is it possible to easily and SAFELY tune this engine by fitting a bigger turbocharger, let say up to 110 - 120 bhp? I use this Suzuki as my daily ride, I do some off-road, we go on holiday with it etc., so I would like a little bit more power, but to keep and preserve the reliability and nice fuel economy.
Right now the turbo is blowing about 0,7bar with pedal to the metal. I've been thinking about fitting Garrett GT2052 - is that a correct direction? Or it would break the engine into pieces? Is 110 - 120 bhp easily and safely achievable at all? Also - is this job (replacing standard turbo with bigger one) rather plug&play or there is need to rebuild the engine completely and the it will last weeks? Maybe there is recommended turbocharger for XUD9 which will tune this engine up to the level I mentioned and is quite easy to fit?
Kindly thank You in advance!
