VW themselves have build a diesel with G-lader already, but that was a couple of years after the first generation G40's were built.

PS: I've got a tornado red Mk3 G40 too  :)

[quote pid=2475 author=Dennis@polo86c.nl date=1216134905]Well, it aint that bad:

original 1.4 D: 48 BHP / 85 Nm
1.4D G40: 73 BHP / 126 Nm

Horesepower and torque both gained by 50%!
Just like normal G40 engine vs. 75 BHP GT-engine.

Mind you, this is still with unmodified dieselpump and stock charger-pulley.
There is more power to come...  :scyth:[/quote]

Yeah, but a Polo GT has 75bhp and 73lbs/ft as standard, is capable of more than 40mpg and you get no diesel clatter. Not to mention, much less work.

I do admire the work, but it's not really been a worthwhile exercise. If it was producing 90bhp and 150lbs/ft torque it might at least be worth it over a GT.

Well done mate... Nice job...
Improvising and succeding is the best feeling in the world...! :D

Dennis@polo86c.nl:
It still does around 56 MPG, ond vegetable oil  :!:
