Building a 300bhp+ 1.9 TDI 8V PD Engine for

When you plan to give your car full throttle around the 'Green Hell' for ~8 minutes at a time, you need a reliable motor, so rather than go all out power, we agreed with Misha that we will overbuild him an engine worthy of any race car!
We know the turbo can do 350+ but the 300hp 'smoke free' goal is a nice round number and reliability is more important.

[@imnotfarting]

As a 1.9 TDI owner I am intruigued

[@SheepInACart]

Aircon sounds reasonable for a "track day" car instead of "race car", as the actual total weight (which can be less than some cooling vest systems) and extra power needed to drive accessory belt (a couple of horsepower) isn't going to back a big difference compared to a hot/tired driver, and its not like this motor is going to turn at speeds a stock petrol wouldn't as to worry the pump. But I do suspect you'll end wanting to swap the factory condenser for something outside the engine bay and insulate the remaining lines so that it both actually works when the under-bonnet regions an oven and doesn't interfere with the space/airflow for radiator/inter-coolers that could be fitted... we do this for many 4x4's here down-under because the hot climate, low speeds working hard offroad and demand to fit bullbars/winches/intercoolers at the front cause simlar problems. I've even seen several older US cars with the complete setup hidden away somewhere like the old spare tyre well, running an electric compressor to keep the engine bay clean/unmolested but still having it enjoyable to cruise on a hot day.... but I suspect a golf might not have that degree of unused space outside passenger cabin, and it would be heavier than just moving the condenser.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes that's correct and a good idea, its the condenser that's the problem!
