Install a 1.9 turbodiesel from a Renault 19 in it. That's the easy way of doing it.
92bhp and 175Nm... should give you some decent performance.

It's very difficult to get more power out a normally aspirated diesel. Good for long life and economy, but bad for performance!

Just save your money for a bit and buy a turbo engine

Indeed, a turbo is the only way to get a bit of power from a diesel.

Not bad mate, been HUGELY busy over the past year, but have been keeping regular tabs on the comings and goings of you lot

It is possible to trickle a little bit of LPG into the air intake. It works very much so like Nitrous but much more affordable.

if you going to do an engine trnasplant, surely youd put a turbo petrol, not a turbo diesel!

Why not turbocharge that original engine?

Because it will probably tear apart...

If it does, you've then got an excuse to fit the 1.9TD

cheers
