Default hi

hello there people im new here, but not to fords.
my ford story started with a H reg MK2 orion 1.4 equipe, after a few cars came the 1.6 zetec MK6 escort and then a 1.3 MK4 fiesta.
havnt owned a blue ovel for a while now but have got my eye on a tad rusty P100 TD.
was hoping for some pointers on what to look for and also how good is the 1.8 td lump??

thankyou

welcome aboard,

the 1.8td aint great but I hear they can be made a bit better with the boost and fuel pump tweaked, you could also fit a front mount intercooler to help.

They need the timing belts doing before the recommended intervel too (imo)

thanks, i was thinking along the lines of more boost, fuel and a fmic, how much boost can you put through the standard engines?? iv played with the pug xud9 lump and was getting 19psi b4 having to change the standard intercooler.
