75 ps - 100 ps, turbo boost? (no knight rider jokes pls!)

[gough1e]

Anyone know if it is a simple upgrade to 100ps as they are both the 2l duratorq?
Also can the boost on the turbo be safely turned up as my 75ps 02 doesnt seem to have the turbo response I would imagine even when empty, although im used to smaller vans so it might just be expecting too much!!

Can your van be chipped or have a re-map done ????

Could be the way to go if its possible

[madmark]

i think the 75ps doesnt have a intercooler ,but you maybe able to get it chipped to more power!

the 75 doesn't have the intercooler and the calibration of the management system is different.

both matters can be addressed though

Mine seems to have some shitty arrangement on the inlet manifold, which I assume cools the charge to somewhere near the cooling system temperature; ie, not much. In my bag of bits I've got a Cossy I/C and I'm thinking of fitting that.
My van is an early FWD 2.0L TDI, and as far as I can see, is lacking much in the way of engine electronics. Anybody got any info on adjusting the fuel pump as necessary for mid-range fuelling if the I/C goes on?

mate i would think a inter cooler would help!

I don't know if this engine has a chip - it's an early 2.0L TDI. Checking around, I don't see much control electronics.

My intention with this is to simply add a few HP without spending much - an extra 10 or 15bhp would suit me nicely. I don't want to overstress the engine too much, as I intend to keep this van for a few years yet and it's got to earn a living. It would be great to ramp it up to 120ps, but I'd be leary of that for reliability.

I'm thinking it's got to help a bit - can't do any harm. I'm just wondering what to do about fuelling too.

should have a ecu and a electric fly by wire throttle pedal im sure 2000on all had ecu's

[madmark]

are you running on chippy oil????? does it run ok??????

[Grimly]

:shock: are you running on chippy oil????? does it run ok??????

Sure, it runs fine. I'm running 60/40 vegoil/diesel and have been for the past year. Was on biodiesel for two years prior to that with no problems.

No m8, the 75ps has no charge cooling.

Are you getting confused with the heater system pipes that run very close to the air box above the inlet manifold?

Early or late, all the tddi engines ran on EEC V management with a bosch VP30 or 44 pump.
The pumps are fully electronic, so no screws to tweak. Fuel delivery and quantity are only tweakable by altering the mapping

I've just had a closer look - you're right that there's no throttle cable, so it must be drive-by-wire. I've also just discovered a slight oil leak from the turbo on the blow side Bugger. I'll have to keep an eye on that.

Any idea where the ECU would be located? Is it in a standard position on all the Mk6s?

[Nighthawk]

They all weep oil there, and it's usually because of the crank case gasses being added to the incoming air charge.

The PCM is in the same place for them all.

remove the fuse box cover on the passenger side of the dash and look into the hole, you'll see a silver module....thats EEC V

it comes out by undoing the wiring connector under the bonnet and then taking off the seal plate on the bulk head and then slides out.
