Max possible bhp from 2.4 tddi

[rob hall]

I was on u tube and i saw a skoda (120 bhp) diesel producing 260 bhp on the rollers, it had been remaped and had lpg and nos kit fitted ,so would what bhp would be possible from a transit 2.4 90bhp tddi ??

It depends how far you want to go, how long you want it to last, how big a turbo (lag) you want and... HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE!

dunno if a duratork block will handle much more than 200,,, mine shat a conrod the other day and was only mapped from 90 to 125.

Nitrovan was running over 200bhp so the same bhp should be possible out of a 2.4 ?

i doubt that it had standard conrods and pistons though buddy

speaking to someone about this yesterday he reckoned the engine could go 250 but after that its not worth it, to do that power y0u are looking at new pistons , cranks and rods and so forth but after beefing up every thing the side of the block becomes the next weakness so its not worth it

i was told if i wanted to get more horses to look in another field and try larger engines with more room to increase the power levels rather than flogging a dead horse

we were speaking of lifting the engine i have to one of the regulated higher power levels for the van but we are still uncertain.

the next problem is after 300+ horses its the drive train that will fail to work correctly

Do u think 160-200 bhp would be possible by add nos ?

If you want seriously big power then a bigger engine is the way to go, Trying to get silly power from a small engine is an expensive business, everything is highly stressed, so reliability and longevity will suffer if you use it to the full. A big relatively understressed engine will perform and last, and will be cheaper in the long run, there's no replacement for displacement.

Here in Australia the common POWER UPGRADE for a MK7 2.4 TDCI is:
Replace it with the 200hp 3.2L Duratorq with Automatic transmission from a Ford Ranger Pick UP/Utility
The 3.2 TDCi Durotorq is standard fitment to US Ford Transits anyway so it is a good and easy fit!
Note: The US engine is downgraded for emissions from Aussie 200 hp to US 185 hp
I will probably put one in my Mk5 when the Auto trans or Lucas injector pump die.

Hi
yes have thought of that but do you know someone who's done it?
Be very interested in talking to them if so.

Not seen a 3.2 duratorq, is there any in the uk ?

Loads what do you thinks in the 200 ps transit
