Engine difference between FR and 140 tdi

[bakester69]

Hi guys,
Apart from the obvious 30, (more in most cases) bhp, what are the differences between the two engines to achieve this? Would it be possible / hard to upgrade the 140?? I know you can obviously have the 140 remapped, but you can have the fr remapped to more ;-) lol.
Cheers

Different injectors and turbo mounted differently as far as I know..

Might be some other stuff too..

Better brakes too, which you need......

Like the guys have said

1) Different Turbo
2) Different Injectors
3) DPF
4) Bigger brakes (312mm fronts)
5) Different ECU (I think)

Just get the remap if you want it faster but dont forget the warranty issue or buy an fr.

I've got 140 Sport & had it remapped. Now running 185Bhp as tested on rolling road.
Remap has made massive difference. Smother delivery & wider powerband.

I think the latest FR's will also be direct injection rather than Pump Duse (PD) engines in the Sport.

Yes the new face-lift FR and 140 versions will have the common-rail system instead of the PD system.
I'm running a FR 170, no remap with 191.7bhp. The FR will have a bigger turbo and enables much bigger outputs with the DPF taken out. DPF-delete FR's are looking at about 225-245bhp after stage 2 tuning. Thats my next stage of tuning for my car.
