Title: Remapping a 1.9 TDI???
Post by: jonm on May 09, 2011, 01:05:17 pm: I'm in two minds if I should go through with it....

Who's already remapped a 105bhp TDI and what did it feel like afterwards?

MPG difference
Top end or bottom end difference
any issues with other mechanical items on the car due to it???

thanks

Abit worried about the clutch and flywheel if anything....

was this the 1.9 or 2.0 TDI though?

Post by: barratt on May 09, 2011, 06:40:30 pm: I had my 1.9 105 PD mapped. It's producing roughly 140hp/340nm.

MPG I cant comment on, didn't have the car much before I got it done. I think its essentially the same.
Also had no other issues produce because of it so all is well!

I will say one thing. It makes it amazingly better, the power is well worth it.

Post by: PDT on May 10, 2011, 10:38:36 am: I remember the first time we had one in for mapping and it was also the first 1.9pd we had seen with the EDC16 ECU system so was all a bit new, however mapping it was great fun purely for the achievable gains from some very basic mapping. Soon after one of my mates bought a 1.9 105hp Caddy van and we set about tuning that, he wanted as much power as possible, so we developed our stg2 software on his van. Then another mate bought a mk5 with the same engine and wanted stg1 which he was happy with, but was back within a few months tempted by stg2.

Our Stg1 (+35bhp and 40ft/lb) and 2 (+50bhp and 65 ft/lb) are both software only upgrades, stg3 is available but requires a lot of ecu components.

Many will say that the stg2 power hike is too much for this car/engine but both of the above vehicles have covered 20k+ miles with no problems whatsoever, so dont be scared off by the big power hukes that these engines can achieve. The most important aspect is the torque delivery, it should be smooth and progressive through the entire rpm range rather than all coming in at once and peaking at 1800rpm.

Post by: PDT on May 10, 2011, 01:13:24 pm: all you need is exhaust, hybrid gt17, flywheel and clutch, larger injectors and 250+hp and 380+ft/lb is possible.

will need larger hubs from a pd140/170 to allow for bigger brakes though, which are definitely needed!

Post by: mortygttdi on May 10, 2011, 01:44:22 pm: I have some standard gt 140 hubs and wishbone with polybushes in :happy2: :grin:

I'm currently saving for exactly that setup. However, I'm unable to find a suitable flywheel and clutch and I have no idea about injectors either.

So far I've got the exhaust and hybrid lined up. If you can possibly throw me in the right direction for flywheel, clutch and injectors I'd appreciate it highly!

Post by: GLIDN on May 12, 2011, 07:10:20 am: so is the mk5 1.9PD TDI motor, effectively the same engine as per the mk4 1.9PD TDI 105HP motor?
Don't have engine codes.

Post by: PDT on May 12, 2011, 12:57:39 pm: pretty much, yes.

No such thing as a mk4 105PD :laugh:

Was thinking the same!
I'll stop thread hijacking now anyway :) Posted my own thread but got no replies, look here and ask and I get everything!

Just need to save up for it all and find someone to fit :happy2:
