Hi there..........

I own a 1990 H reg escort combi van. Its got a 1.8 D normally aspirated engine. I want something a bit pokier but keeping it as a diesel, ive had a look through a few threads but they have been for converting the mk5 escort vans to 1.8 TD. So my question to you guys is how easily will it go into my mk4?

Also.....

A guy commented on one thread and said go for the 90 BHP TD engine with the intercooler, adjust the fueling and raise the boost. So if i fitted a front mount intercooler, raised the fuel pressure and boost what sort of power increase could i be looking for? Would it make a difference if i had a straight through downpipe and exhaust on it aswell?

Want to keep it as a diesel for authenticity, but i want to have a fairly quick diesel. Money is no object on this one within reason guys =)

Thank you in advance for your help =)
