afternoon lads, i have a 2008 focus TDCI 110bhp, i want more power, i know itsd diesel and 1.6, but its what i gotta work with, as well as getting it chipped, is it worth my while fitting a larger turbo and if so which one to go for

 

There are some reliability problems known with this engine, which is also used by Citroen and Peugeot. I wouldn't chip it.

 

can you confirm this as my brother has a C5 with the Pug HDI engine and yes he has had alot of probs. a local Ford Fanatic has blasted the claim and said that Ford use their own engine, as you can imagine i want power but dont want to waste money,

 

hi I use this engine in a single seat race car prototype with a programable aftermarket ecu plug and play it responds well and no reliability problems although the engines need good sevicing with regular oil changes have heard of quite a few road cars throwing rods anyhow I had the race engine at 165 bhp but backed it off to 125bhp and 207ft/lb of torque and has been spot on in testing

 

it's the 1.4 diesel's ford engine that pug and citreon use not the 1.6's

 

That is legendary, been fighting over the engine for a while, would there be any benifit to a larger turbo and intercooler, i mainly work with classic cars so its been NA all the way. but want power out of this bingo bus

 

cheers lads, what do you lads drive yourselves

 

the engine is in loads of pugs and citroens as a hdi 1.6 the turbo's tend to differ even in the ford range some are variable vain types and others normal waste gated types ..vain type has an actuator pointing into the centre of the tubo the gated ones go accros the tubo side to side and my cars focus rs, 4x4 focus, escort cozy to name the on roaders but several other jwrc fiesta 4x4 puma 4x4 focus st170 turbo have a look on google at www.petersonsracingcars.com for the prototype s/s tdci I am building the new chassis at the moment ready to ship out to greece

 

holy crap, fare play, after that list i will keep my list to meself. LOL. lookin up that sight now

 

not the yellow car on the intro that was a concept by others who went bust just the green on bio diesel and the orange is a duratec that runs bio ethanol

 

where abouts are you based

 

dumfries scotland

 

what you do sounds cool, my brother spent 6 years studying motorsport engineering in Swansea, he specailzed in flow dinamics,

 

According to this article both the 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesels are PSA units.
