After changing the head gasket on mine it's still pissing out blue/white smoke at idle, could be a number of things so this engine is gonna be scrapped.

Just found a 1.7TDi Isuzu engine that's just come in from Japan

25,000 miles or possibly km's, so it's only just run in

£700 tho plus crane hire to fit it tho

Think i will be spending part of my house deposit

whats the tuning potential for these engines TD experts?

A friend of mine is in the process of building an astra van work / demo-car and would probably be interested in any little tweaks.

sure i remember reading about 100bhp from the 1.5TD without an IC?

Kris is running 99bhp with just a bleed valve and fuel mods, with the plans he has he'll be looking at about 150bhp and 200+lb/ft torque

£20 to get it from 78hp standard to 99 so far and could probably go a bit more with the fuel turned up a bit

free Bhp !??

engine conversions cost money unless you can do labour youself, and since the van is to advertise a company im pretty sure all his ££ will be put into styling.

Would be nice to have a decent torque figure as well because he will be doing a lot of motorway miles

About 110-120hp with those mods

Kris reckons about 200hp from the 1700 lump, sounds about right imo with a bit more work and money

that's from larger intercooler, polished head and some other stuff, not just from raised boost and fuel

oh, but the 1.7 td in the astra van is not the same engine, do not do the tweek, they have a tendancy for the bottom ends to go bang. the gm 1.7 td is a load of crap, need the isuzu ones if your gonna do it.
