FITTING A TURBO!
FITTING A TURBO!
I love my TZD, and its in great nick, but its a tad slow being a 19d, whats the cost and implications of fitting a 1.9TD engine and box from a PUG or a ZX etc?
Any ideas?

am i being thick or have you transplanted a non turbo into a TZD?
The implications are it would get faster.

Hi Tim, you will be missing quite a lot of bits and pieces, pipework, radiator expansion bottle, intercooler etc, I would first of all suggest you find a breaking TZD Turbo, then a 1.9 td from somewhere and fit all of the neccesaries, its possible and tha parts bill wouldnt be too feirce but the labour would be a bit big IMHO.

No tim brakes are standard apart from the 16 Valver but you will need the engine gearbox, cooling system, intercooler, lots of pipework, I suggest you get hold of an underbonnet picture of a TZD and look at the differences, they are many.

Brakes - easy - All BX have the same brake pads. Calipers are the same except for the 16 valve which has ventilated fronts and wider calipers.
Suspension - spheres are different - rest the same except for the anti-roll bars - front is different - not sure about rear.
TD has different exhaust (back same as 16 valve but longer tailpipe for Estate)
Wiring I would have thought was the same as no additional electrics (apart from possibly rev counter pickup and the use of a later electric cold start device)
Cooling is a bit different with expensive braided hoses and the largest rad you have ever seen with a 16 valve header in the centre.
1.7 TD engine should go in without problems. 1.9 from Xantia has hydraulic pump on auxillary drive belt at cambelt end of the engine. Its probably easier to keep the BX pump location and even use the BX TD camshaft which would of course have to be shimmed. May be possible to do something else but be careful - certainly on ZX 1.9D the injection pump is in a slightly different place.
Clutch cable is unique to TD and 16 valve as MAY be driveshafts but this is complicated by ABS.

You are best with the high strength driveshafts from TD or GTI, as you dont have ABS any of them will do, your spheres will do until replacement time, I went the route of modifying the camshaft to use the BX pump arrangement, If you do the same then your existing pump etc will be fine, next time I may use a BX cam/head to simplify it. The Exhaust as Jeremy says is different, a good starting place would be to cannibalise a TZD, then find a good 1.9 and start swapping the parts, there is quite a lot more work than just an engine swap though.
