I just heard back from my mechanic that I need new injectors, symptoms, were smoking, loss of power and noisy running when accelerating. :eek: If I get some new injectors, I was thinking of upgrading, possibly the ones by Rake It was my understanding that the previous owner upgraded the...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have been looking at implementing 'Rake's' Project Power PP2 performance upgrade on my td (Blue) i 88 bhp van and looking at intercoolers to go with it. Whilst tempted by the Mitsubishi intercooler, I would prefer to go for the VW option BUT have found...

My conversion is running well, with the intercooler fitted, so I am now tidying up the engine bay and making it a bit more presentable. However, I have found a spare vacuum pipe with no apparent home! I have already blanked one off that went to the EGR, but I seem to have one that we tagged "Air...

How to Change your old injectors for Project Power Injectors can be found here - Project Power In Pictures This follows on from the Project Power Thread in my Signature and can be used for both the 88 and 102 TDI's. Thank you for looking. Ron.

I'm in the process of doing the project power thing on the van, it's really on the way now. The next thing I need to sort out is a new exhaust, I've read a load of posts but nothing has made things any clearer. I want to get the exhaust done before the tuning but can't decide what I want. So...

Trying to get a definitive answer / information on: What clutch / flywheel options for 88bhp AJT As found in TD blue I vans like my 888 special. I have read over the last few months about 30 threads on this subject and confused you bet :confused:!! This question gets asked a lot so I would...

Ok, so here is the start of my Vanzee project. First job I decided to tackle was to remove the bulkhead so I could do a proper job of sound proofing and Insulating the van. I decided to use a foil backed foam as sound insulation, and then covered that with 25 or 50mm Celotex held in place by...

Alright guys. I've got the nozzles from Rake and I am going to fit them this weekend with a remap booked at ChipWizards next week. Very exciting times. Does anyone have any last-minute advice that they would like to share? Any sticking points? Any top tips? It's an ex-AA 102-114 ACV engine and...

Well I've finally gotten around to fitting my PP nozzles and, you know what?, they flippin' awesome. Why I fanny-ed around and waited so long I do not know but family life gets in the way sometimes. Previously I'd de-catted the exhaust & blanked off the EGR so my ACV 102hp long nose Caravelle...

Alright guys. I am soon to embrace the PP dream with my 102 bhp ex-AA (of which I'd soon like to post some photos... It is looking different). Anyway, I blanked/ cleaned EGR last night which was quick, easy & as described by T4Trick... until my very good amigo dropped an intercooler bolt "into...

Hi everyone, I'm struggling to find a reasonably priced 2nd hand/reconditioned gearbox for my 2.5TDI 88bhp AJT engined t4 with 200,000 miles on it. Gearboxes for every other variant of t4 engine except the 2.5tdi 88bhp seem to crop up all the time on e-bay and seem to sell for reasonable...

The idea of the tall top gear is not a new one. Indeed, most VW's in time have had a top gear that goes beyond direct one to one (1:1) drive to the wheels - that is, for every turn of the engine the gearbox turns the final drive once. These higher top gears are known as overdrive ratios. The...

Finally got a van that's good enough to PP, an '02 102 with 62K on the clock, but live in south devon so getting the remap done will be quite a day out. My question is what else, if anything, I should do or have done to the van before I change the nozzles and head north. Cam belt change? decat...

I:;) C ya......Rikki PS Hello T:

Non Standard Tyre And Wheel Sizes... The following list is of non standard wheel and tyre sizes that some owners have found to work best on their T4’s. Some have reported that bodywork modifications are required with some of the wider combinations (marked*) if the van is lowered - the...

For the 5-cylinder 2.5 litre ACV (102bhp/75kw) TDI engine launched in August 1995 on the T4a, VW provided the stronger 02G gearbox. Unique to the high power T4's, this gearbox is more able to cope with the extra torque generated by these state of the art engines. The Audi based ACV engine was...

HI Guys This is just a straight forward standard intercooler fit to an 88bhp 2.5tdi. Some of the photos were corrupted on the card but it may give some idea. 1. in the beginning with no intercooler. 2. These are the parts i recieved. Intercooler pipe and brackets. 3.I moved the header...

Who can offer turbo info for the t4. What size / make do we have in a 2.5 tdi acv? Can it be uprated without being changed? What can we chang it to without affecting other components? What other components compliment a turbo upgrade? The sequence of upgrading in stages? Costs? We have a lot of...

how do i do it?

to begin .... Some 15 months ago now, I met Vanbling through the forum. Being as in Germany there was a 152 bhp Version of the 2.5 TDi, we recconed there must be a way to get our Vans - a 102 and an 88 - up to the 151 bhp figure. we set about trying to find out the differences between these...
