Hello people!
As i know a few bits about this project, now i'll tell you the secret of this project: This will be a Super Turbo Diesel TDI powered! Yes, this Estate will have a 1.9tdi VAG engine...
I know, it might sound a bit disapointing but even me as a petrolhead must to recognise that this engine has lots of potential for its compact shape and lightwheight.
For those who dont know, well explored this engine can reach something around 360bhp (yes, it sounds funny) but with some respectable +/- 700mn torque, what makes this a very good weapon, having in mind that using in regular driving it can keep a very low fuel consumiption (will be nice to go from Portugal to UK for Ford Fair
).
For those dont know either, Europe fastest diesel has this engine and is a Portuguese car, AMmotorsport, the same guy who will build the engine after all conversion work.
A vid to have some idea:
And now, this is the Donnor:
Removing the engine:
1.9 TDI, AKA PD130
Half wiring loom
And this one, is one of the best choices, 5 speed ZF box from a 530Diesel E39 BMW, cheap and bullet proof . Ofcours a 6 speed would be better but we had not shure if they could handle the torque
And from the same car, rear diff (does anyone here has a LSD for this? )
By now its all.
Have a nice week guys
