Toyota MR2

[nigelb]

Loz...if you can get hold of a 130bhp pd engine and then have a blacksmoke.co.uk remap to 162 then you will have a truly awsome motor. Mine goes like a bullet now.

The problem with that merc engine is there is no gearbox. Still has the fluid flywheel but no autobox!!

[Rossey]

As for an engine for the mr2

What about a rover l series?

Mine was 100bhp, I've put different injectors in and increased the boost, now looking nearer to 150bhp.

If you use a vnt turbo 185bhp can be achieved!

Or the older PD 150, just adding on of the Dragon boxes gives 185 BHP.
I drove a standard PD150 golf GT and thought it had no right to be a diesel.

Or an Audi AKE engine - 180 BHP as standard and mappable to over 200. Plus it's V6 so will fit transversely easily.

Whatever engine you get, if it is electronically controlled (VP37, VP44, PD etc) then make sure you get the ECU and harness too

That's the good thing about the XUD11 with manual Bosch pump, only one wire needed.

yes it's french, but the best part of any PAS is the diesel engine.

Yep the diesel engine is probably the only thing the French got right in their cars, from personal experience it's neither the transmission, the suspension and certainly not anything electrical. Great engine though

[lozzzzzz]

Agreed the french make a good diesel, but I've had the VAG engine before and loved it and I'm going with the older unit for its tolerance of badly made bio.

Owners hand book for the PD Golf the wife abuses drives states that it is designed to run on 100% FAME, and so far it's been as good as gold on 100% bio.

Which engine is in the golf that she abuses Julian?

I think it's a 90bhp version, I'm afraid I struggle to show much interest ... it's only two wheel drive.

[nigelb]

I think the 90 is a non pd. It must be something else.

[Julian]

It's a 2004, the hand book says 74Kw so it looks like 100Hp ... Engine code ATD (big space) EUH.

Whatever it is it, goes like stink and I don't think hers is the most powerful version they do.

While on the subject, has anyone got a code reader for this car?  The alarm keeps going off and I can't work out what's causing it.  For now I've pulled a fuse which has disarmed it but also stops the windows and central locking working.

I have vag com but it is a long way from you!
