Hdi Versions

[xsarafact]

Did Citroen make a 110 bhp version of the 1999 / 2000 xsara?
It appears the only significant difference between the 90 and 110 versions is the addition of the intercooler.
Can you add your own?
Is there room?
Will one from a 1.9TD fit, or be made to fit?

Bet I'm not the first to think of this......

The 1999/2000 Xsara?

I am assuming that this was the version beforee the facelift.

The top diesel engine in that disguse was the 90 bhp Hdi.

Before that was the 1905 Td.

90 and 110 bhp Hdi?

The only difference -you are right is the intercooler.

Yes you could add the bigger brothers intercooler but why would you? (See final paragraph).

The 1.9 td intercooler is so large that it had to be plonked right on top of the engine.

THe 110 Hdi intercooler is much smaller and more efficient.

Yes why would you go into the hassle of adding the intercooler for the sake of an extra 20 bhp by paying astromonical labour costs and possible problems of retro fitting a component?? How come so few companies dont retro fit air conditioning systems on cars?


You are better off getting the 90's ECU reprogrammed ie superchippped and for around £500 you can get the power of a 110 without having to lift the bonnet up.

I enquired about this meself last year on my 90 Hdi and the upgrade pans out like this

From 90 to 110 bhp
From 115 lbft to 192 lb ft.
10% better fuel economy.
