1.6TD to 1.9 130bhp

yes I also have a 1.6 JX TD and want to increas the capacity if that's possible or if anyone has any other sugestions on getting more power/tune ups on a JX please let me know.

Well its usually me
They are very unsuitable without a large budget and lots of re engineering.

Thanks for your reply(s) but I did mean boring out/tuning the existing 1.6td rather than installing a new 19.PD as that's a £2k upgrade.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for the info, that's what I was getting at and the 130bhp was an example rather than a true goal so if I can get an extra 20-30BHP out of my existing 1.6 that would be great as I'm sure in doing some of the work I'll get back a little BHP that's been lost over the years.

Can you give me any documentation or links for the Intercooler and/or GTD Injectors on a JX please? I suspect the Intercooler and agood service/tune up will get me the extra Hill Climbing power I need for a few hundred quid leaving me some cash for Wheels, Shocks and boady work as the engine itself and the camping interior of my T3 is fine.

Thanks again for your help and advice.

Oh,and I have a golf intercooler rad for sale too

Well,golf GTD parts not GTi.
It's probably cheaper to get a garage to 'AAZ it',as an intercooler set up in a (JX)T3 engine bay has to be done well or its pointless.,and those injectors wont be cheap.
If its AAZ/1.9'd you can always get an intercooler and injectors later for that once you've got too used to the extra power.

Do a search for AAZ stuff on here theres loads.......

Sorry do you have any idea on the VW part numbers for the Intercooler...etc

Better of buying a charge cooler as intercoolers are difficult to place and be efficent imo. Shame someone has'nt made an after market air scoop for the rear vents, that can attach to the air to air intercooler. You may also need to increase the fueling on the pump when you fit a cooler.

More air rammed in the cylinder and a little more fuel creates a bigger bang in the cylinder, resulting in more power turning the back wheels.

Talking about Power, have you seen the SSC car, it can spin the back wheels at 190mph when you floor the pedal, and at over 200mph was at 56 percent throttle and is reportedly cable of 270mph. 

And this is a car you can buy as standard, god help you if one of the panels came off after hitting a rabbit crossing the road. 

If you want to fit an Intercooler, grab the whole kit from a 1.9TDI Sharan/Galaxy/Alhambra.......

The intercooler sits perfecly under the rear valance (does mean you need to make a 'left exit exhaust'

All the plumbing, plastic VW charge pipes hook right up to the Turbo with no major fiddling......

Ive done it to my 1.9 mTDI T-25.......runs good, reliable and 40+mpg

GaV

alot of peeps i think overlook just changing the gearbox of a 1.6 TD van. It drives with sensible power around town on the 1.6 box, its just the motorways that are a bit gay at 65+. try first upgrading the box by buying a 2.1 box , after you have sold your 1.6 box it may hold you in at only £250 outlay and it will be (as far as I undertand) much better at top end, plus you wont really have to declare this to the insurance as it wont exactly be glaringly obvious - they aint goona check the gearbox code (before I get a lecture I would mostly recommend declaring 95% of mods)
