Hi from a newbie. Ive been told that there are a few TD experts on this forum, so due to me wanting to up the power of my 1.7 Isuzu, i thought id register as i need some help.
Ive done the usual up the fuel/boost, decat etc but i heard there was a guy on here got 180BHP out of one. My question is what exactly was involved??
cheers

I was informed the guy that had the motor went by the username 'akeemking'. Ive also been told that there are a few in portugal who have got 240BHP from them so it seems quite possible. I would just like to know what these animals have had done to them...

yes akeemking is who you need to talk to, i believe someone in portugese is running a 1500td on crazy boost succesfully, looking at 200bhp and massive torque

I heard about 200bhp from 1500td, if I remember well it has got larger injectors and fuel is injected at really high pressure. In fact if I am not wrong, because of this tuning, that corsa breaks 2-3 gearboxes a year. I too want to tune a 1.7td but I prefer more lifetime.
Phil666: After fuel/boost, bigger turbo with a large intercooler, cone filter slammed directly to the turbo, straight through exhaust. Bigger injectors if you like more, gas flowed head, then NOS. For large power figures I think it is much better to invest in an LET. After all, the diesel probably won't be anymore efficient at those power figures.
Cossie: I am too from malta  Do you know anymore mods to a td?

Thanks for the response guys. Regarding the gas-flowed cyl head - will this actually make difference? After all, i cannot find anyone who makes a different profile camshaft. Surely without a better cam, the gas-flow wont be much use?????

i think the diesel will be a pushrod design, there are no cams

From here they told me that they get them direct from Japan but you could user bigger valves instead

Yeah. ive been looking into fitting the turbo from the isuzu trooper 3.0. It will be a straight fit, but i am concerned about turbo lag...

With bigger turbo & intercooler, fuel pump, cone filter you surely will jump the 100bhp barrier with a 1.7.
P.S. Phil did you do the bleed valve trick?

Yeah i know that trick. Really looking for about 150BHP if its possible. But i want it to be drive-able. I dont want a 'peaky' engine...
