Retroanaconda Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I guess yes...it's possible...in the same way that getting rid of the engine and having a horse pull you is possible But I don't see why not technically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I guess yes...it's possible...in the same way that getting rid of the engine and having a horse pull you is possible But I don't see why not technically The fuelling on the fuel injection pump would need some modification. Performance would be thrilling the wrong word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars L Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Todd Jackson, AKA Tuko, has done this on his SIII hybrid. Works a treat he says. Reason was to get his rig roadlegal with a new engine. Too much hp wouldn't have passed the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 A Tdi with no T would last for ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Too much hp wouldn't have passed the test. Is it possible to get "too much" HP from a TDI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Some swedish law about a replacement engine cant exceed 10% of the power of the original iirc? You could just remove the turbo, the fuelling will be fine with the original pump, as the extra fuel for the turbo comes in when the pump detects boost on the sense line. No boost = No extra fuel. As others have pointed out though, it takes a really good reason for it to be a sensible proposition, compared with just running the TDI as is.

tuko Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Apparently yes FF, the MOT department in Sweden says so! Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeerover Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Why would you want to do this? Because the TD has a very bad reputation, The Na fits the series. I have TD for sale and there no interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Just remove the turbo and get the manifolds and oil line plugs from a 2.5NA. You won't need to do anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 1)Some swedish law about a replacement engine cant exceed 10% of the power of the original iirc? 2)You could just remove the turbo, the fuelling will be fine with the original pump, as the extra fuel for the turbo comes in when the pump detects boost on the sense line. No boost = No extra fuel. 3)As others have pointed out though, it takes a really good reason for it to be a sensible proposition, compared with just running the TDI as is. 1)The rules govering replacement motors states that the hp output and torque rating can't exceed 10% of the manufactures original figures for that vehicle. 2)Exactly, the pump doesn't need adjusting after removing the turbo but if one wants to tweak it for a bit more power, who's to stop them. 3) Jupp, SBP..... Swedish version of the MOT. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
