Replacemet Options For Failed 90hp Diesel

[disease oil man]

Hello

 

My 90 diesel has failed on me. low compression and big ends are shot out.

I am looking for a second hand replacement engine.

As for options can I replace it with a 115 lump or any other ?

I am not interested in a performance hike just to know if the cores is the same.

Also are the older 1.9 non turbo lumps the same core ?

 

Thanks in advance Lee

Hello, you won't be able to use the PD engines as they have a completely different engine bay loom amongst other things.

 

I'd stick with the 90 HP unit if I were you, it's the most reliable. Just get yours reconditioned (turbo as well) and fit a new clutch while you're at it.

All the 1.9 Diesels share the same bottom end, the block, sump, crank etc are all the same.

 

It may be easier to source a good bottom end and mate it up to what you have.

Thanks for the info, So are the pistons the same as well.

I take it's the head and different pumps, ecu setups etc that give the hp difference.

Just wondering about compression ratio etc

Does that include the older non turbo blocks ?

I am starting to think that I am wrong as there appears to be some subtle differences with the bottom ends.

 

I am too tired to check right now, I will do tomorrow.
