Mangos 220d

Well the car passed its MOT with no emissions abatement, the emissions were well below that which would have caused a fail, yes the 220d is a great car to own and running 2bar of boost and 2000bar rail pressure the map makes IS250s just fade into my rear view, the torque is specifically something which surprises. I understand the nature of those who hate on Diesels they are not the future and will never be good for our planet but this 220d is at a great place and it will be further developed. Servicing is important mine has oil and filter every 3K but the DPF and EGR need to be addressed and based on emissions mine runs cleaner than with the DPF in place as the AF is running 25:1 and no lower than 20:1 at 2bar boost, no smoke no issues, a dirty DPF is why most Diesels smoke. If you know the car and can engineer improvements while measuring results/emissions and performance then its a safe game to play. What is not safe is threatening a man or his family !

Hey Bud, My 220d has had EGR+Cooler Delete, remap for 210bhp and full turbo back free flow @2.5in ID. I get 45mpg combined, after dyno the engine actually made 228bhp with 351ft/lb. It delivers the same 0-100mph time as a 125d, its reliable and economic taking into account the performance. If you have a 220d then the above upgrades transform the car in every way, im going to install a VB15 turbo with larger compressor and install a intercooler with 50% more surface area, after another remap it should make 240-250bhp if the head departs the block then ill buy a new engine and install deeper studs and better gasket. Its a journey to bring the power up like this but in 2 years iv had to replace 2 injectors and a fuel pump so the stories of bad engine design are not true, its the emissions abatement that kills these engines i have found the 220d engine to be very reliable.
