307hdi tuning

[SpikeMR]

Hey guys

New to this forum and want to exploit your tuning knowledge if possible. I was just wondering what the maximum power a 307 hdi could handle without having to upgrade the intercooler or turbo. A few ppl I know have tried to quote me ridiculous figures and I just thought I'd ask the experienced ppl within this forum

depends on what model you have really 90? 110? xsi 136?, ive just had my 307 hdi xsi 2.0 136bhp re-mapped , its pushing out 172bhp with 350nm torque, still wanting to find a decent induction kit for it yet and possibly a new intercooler to mount on the front, hopefully push it up to 200bhp, ive just been looking around what can be done with the hdi engine and you will be quite surprized, diesel engines are full of torque so your gona feel pull you into the back of you seat, just think if its got a turbo you can upgrade just about everything if you have the money

alrite,

really, like the person before said, it depends on what model you have and how much you have to spend. DTUK do some decent tuning boxs, cost you about £289, and they offer good power gains. they also have the best aftersales i have ever experienced. i have a 1.4 hdi 307, and there box pushed my car from 68hp to a tad over 90, so for the amount spent, its a pretty decent gain.

i also put in a k&n replacement panel filter, which certainly gives you more feel on the throttle. you can also get boxes that fit on to your accelerator pedal that boost the electronic signals speed, which is useful, but it is pricey for the gain. can get them from www.europerformance.co.uk

another thing possible is to get a boost controller. a decent 2 stage electronic one is good, again these are pricey for a good one, but you need to do your research before you start tinkering with the turbo. Ecosse peugeot can offer a lot of advice about tuning.

obviously upgrading the turbo is a possibility, but again, you need to do your research before you start tearing lumps off your engine lol.

my mate managed to botch an intercooler from a landrover to his 307 hdi, so again, thats another thing you can look into lol.

anyhoo, before this turns into an essay, i will shut up now

hope that helps!

Damn,i,ve just posted a question on the forum about this.Was it a remap or a box that you used and who supplied and how much did it cost?

I've been trying to find some turbos for a 1.6 petrol 307, havent found anything at all, one of my friends asked if the hdi turbos would fit, anyone have any ideas if it would?

Does the clutch need urgrading or will standard clutch be ok for that torque? Where did you have it mapped?

Just on this, its been recommended to me that the sensible move is DPF delete and take out the particulate filter for pushing over the 150bhp level.

I think that's what the 407 lads do, along with a performance remap.

[tb205gti]

90BHp: no intercooler-> up to 130BHp and 280Nm, normally around 125-128Bhp and 280Nm

90Bhp: intercooler -> 145BHp and up to 300Nm depending on the clutch

90BHp: intercooler + uprated clutch -> 155-160BHp and 370Nm

90BHp: intercooler, vnt turbo, uprated clutch, bigger pump -> 200+BHp and 450+Nm

110BHp: 145BHp and 320Nm

Those are the figures I normally get. I probably have the biggest experience with rapping the HDI (2.0 and 2.2) in Europe..
