Just buy an FR and save yourself all the trouble.

wheres the fun in that?...

find yourself a Cupra diesel thats breaking and do the swap youself, diesel engines are a piece of piss to mess around with.

pd160 from a mk4 ibiza? good platform and a revo s1 will get you close to 200bhp

if your looking at the pd 150/160 engines look for the ones that has had the cam replaced

Replacing non-PD with PD will be interesting, the whole fuel system is different, including the tank and all the fuel lines.

About as gooda advice as you'll get. You could tinker with the 110 lump to reach around 180bhp(ish) or as previously said just get an FR or Cupra tdi, get it remapped and enjoy the reliable 200bhp.
Believe me when you start to swap the engines and it all fits and your nuts are the size of mellons they will quickley shrink when when you realise just how much of the wiring loom you'll have to replace along with getting the immobiliser sussed and sourcing all the other bits - as muttley said the fuel system is totally different and incorporates a lift pump in the tank and an underslung fuel cooler which the 110 doesnt have.

if you were going PD to PD then fine, but non-PD - PD is just not worth the effort.

as has been said dont build something you could buy you will end up spending way more money and it will be a lot of effort and then you will have the difficulty of insuring a car thats had an engine swap and insurance companies dont like that idea
