|  Right! Thats It!!!!!!!
not happy with the engine in my Nova, wan't Big & fast, Not tempremental.
It chooses when it wants to give me back a lot of power, And it chooses at the wrong time!
So now i am hanging up the 1.5TD and exchanging it for a.....
1.7TD bored out to a 1.9  
Then maybe a supercharger, and if i feel paticularly stupid at the time......."NOS"  |

| james, you might just be right on that one.......
the fact the 1.7 block fits onto the 1.5 head is slightly throwing.....
Oh balls to it, 2.2 DTI from a 95-02 Vectra should be in by about next year (once a few have been pranged )
So, 2.2Dti "vs" a Nova 2.0l 16v?
Place your bets now please | |

| Got this from parkers
2.2 Dti
4 cylinder
2172 cc
125 bhp (soon have it running more )
129 top speed
0-60 n 9.5 seconds
43.5 MPG
Works out @ 178 BHP to the ton
Ok. So that is in about a ton of motor, Wonder how it will do in a 700KG nova 
Probably rip it to bits :S
Nuff said | |

| LMFAO
trust mate, but a 1.5TD
when you get in it (if its a good one) you will mess your pants.
But as with any car, over time you feel the need to go faster still
It's a bug most people have
And i got it good | |

| there are 5 deisels in the VW golf line up
there is like a 70bhp non turbo one - u could beat that
100 bhp (turbo) - u could beat it
130 bhp - No way
150 bhp - Hell No
(180 bhp - U Bloody Stoopid or wat???) <- pending on further research
Models from 130 and above are classed as GT TDI
