TDi engine version

Hi guys.

My first post on the forum so hello everyone.

Had a few mk1's down the years but moved on from them a while back.

Looking to return back to the scene and want something different.

Im a big fan of the 150 gtdi engine and was wondering if it can go in a mk1.

Ive heard people say it is possible. If so is it a big job ?

My local mechanic is into golfs and mentioned to me a few years back that he love to do it for himself.

However, if its complex id rather get it done properly. Is there companies out there that can do it ? Im near aberdeen.

The idea would be to buy a really good complete mk1 and buy the diesel engine seperate.

I should have between 5-6k to spend initially.

Replies appreciated.

with that amount of money you'll get one in easily.

i spent ?200 and fitted a mk3 td in mine

seen the engine from the fr seat ibiza tdi 130 bhp standered but goes to 200 easy for under a grand maybe bens cab could tell you if yo could use megasquirt to run it like the 20vt

Cheers for the replies guys sorry ive been away.

It is the 150 tdi engine out of a mk4 id want to go in cause i plan to get it chipped to 190.

Im needing some finer details ie.

Will engine fit straight it.

What about the electrics ?

Brakes, suspension etc ?

Just need some details so i can discuss it better with my mechanic.

Is there anyone that does this conversion proffesionally as i might go down this route. Travelling isnt a problem

you could try someone like MV Developments ,think he has a web site as well as a member on here,could be a start .

would love to do this conversion as well as I have a Audi A4 130 chipped to 150 and that's awesome in a heavy car, but i think its quiet an expensive job to do  :dontknow:

Sounds a great idea but the electrics would probebly be the biggest headache.I have put the 1zTDI engine in my Mk1 out of a 94 Passat [90]hp and that goes very well.Apart from modifying the cam cover so that you can bolt on the engine mount it will fit ok.The electrics arn,t to bad.The PD engine is a completely different block altogether and would be a whole new ball game.But I guess if you are prepaired to pay anything is possible .Baller

not really interested in the lower power engines tbh but thanks

if its that expensive i might have to leave it and just buy a mk4 !

hi mate

think this may have been discussed in the modification part of this forum, have a search in there

you could try the company above, he is a member on here aswell

see what he says

I wouldn't dismiss the later (99-03 ish), lower power non-PD Tdi's (the 90 and 110 bhp versions used in several VW's / Seats). It's possible to tune these to close to / more than the 200bhp mark without touching the internals. Bigger turbo, larger injector nozzles and custom remap (not just a chip) are the key. Would be loads easier to fit something like an ALH engine - mechanical fuel pump instead of the electronically controlled pumps for each injector on the PD, simpler immobiliser to work with (transponder ring around the ignition barrel and chip in the ignition key), etc, etc, etc. You can also find cheap Seat donor cars too !
This site is great for reading up on Tdi tuning : http://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php

Erm…

You do realise this will mean your Mk1 runs on diesel don't you?

Just checking…

You do realise one of these engines would thoroughly beat any small block engined car???? And probably give a stock GTI a run for its money too.

but t'd sound like a tractor at tickover when cold and, well ,diesel.  It runs doesn't it?

I reckon these should stay in estate cars and 4x4's

you lot need a blast in mine and rovs

Get it down the strip. We all need to know the 1/4 mile time of these things.

There you go Bert/Rov, the challenge has been laid down. Can you do the 1/4 mile in less than a day? PS, the timing gear trips off after 45 secs.

heres a AAZ against a VR6  :wink:  thanks to oldschoolrich  8)
