Replacing normally aspirated 1.6 diesel?

Post by oxford_guy »

Would it be straightforward to replace a normally aspirated 1.6 diesel T25 with a 1.9 Turbo Diesel AAZ, or would there be complications with this? Thanks

It would be fairly straightforward.

Just the exhaust pipe and possibly inlet elbows and pipes down from the airbox/filter (which aren't too bad new, apart from the top rubber elbow)

Someones got an airbox up on For Sale I think I've seen recently.

But your gearbox ratios would need thinking about a bit, if its original N/A diesel fit.
