Looking at £2.5k for 306 HDi (3door) with 100k+ miles?

Sounds good.

There probably will be a time when I want more ummmppphh from the engine, can these HDi's be screw modded?

Not sure, but I think they can be remapped.

They do have an ECU, so will probably need re-mapping.

I have seen this place on the internet that specialise in ECU remaps. Apparently they can get 120bhp out of the HDi.

My mates got an old d-turbo and said that the clutch is like an on/off switch

Its worn out then, and no doubt his cable has dried out too? The HDI I dont think you'd actually know was diesel so much when you are driving around in it.

You can get simple plug in boxes for them from the dervdoctor or similar.

So there is no screw mod for the HDi?

I'd be too scared to mess with the ECU, incase I ask too much of the engine and BANG BANG BANG

screw mod involves adjusting the mechanical fuel pump to increase fuel going into the engine and therefore increasing power. you cant do this with the HDI as the hdi is ECU controlled and has electronic fuel injectionso this can only be altered by a remap.

So what BHP increase can you get out of the HDi by doing a remap? (Just for future reference

)

ajgoodfellow · 2 Apr 2006 at 18:09

As a guess - I'd expect up to at least 110bhp, giving 20bhp extra as at that time the HDi was offered in two states of tune, 90 and 110bhp

Somebody upload a video of the HDi in action plz.

You also need to increase the boost to go with the extra fuel. Up to around 18psi max iirc.
