lookin to buy some go fast bits for my fabia vRS PD 130 wen i get it wat would you recommend i start off with ? was thinkin along the lines of a remap or a set of cams ? all advice is much appreciated as this will be my fisrt skoda thanx

I think may people will say the Jabba sport ARB before the re-map. It is ment to do wonders to rhge handling, will have mine on oder next week

Jabba Sport - Motor Sport

there aren't many aftermarket cams around for the pd diesel engines, i'll see if i can find the details of the one i found and i'll post it up later on

I dont think there are many people who have done a cam change , i don't even know if they are available for the PD engine , here are the usual mods

Seat Ibiza PD160 intake pipe

Green cotton air filter

Pikey mods 1+2 to wheel arch liner and O/S front grill

Jabba rear ARB

Eibach 25mm lowering springs

Audi TT 312mm front disc conversion

Remap , various tuners offer them , have a look at Jabba or Custom code

or try a tuning box from Dragon , Tunit or AMD one click

HTH

i don't even know if they are available for the PD engine

deflinately yes! but there aren't many choices available

I sure wouldn't bother with changed cams, it's not like it's a high-revving petrol engine so the benefits are very much less too.

Also most of the options already mentioned in the preceeding posts are FAR better value for money & are less likely to totally obliterate warranty claims immediately

Just IMHO of course

the theories and principes of valve timing is totally different on a diesel engine, main becuase a diesel has no lift on overlap(BDC) like a petrol engine does. also advancing the whole cam can give a rise to low rpm torque just like it does on petrol engines

Not disagreeing with what you're saying (as it's true ) - but a remap/tuning box will be the easiest option to get the power

And there is just the one cam in the 1.9 PD.

But it does also operate the injectors so thats why choices will be limited I would think.

ok here it is!

i cant link directly to the camshaft page because it's one of those funny websites.

put if you select products, then performance camshafts, the vw, scroll down, it's near the bottom just after 1.9 tdi

dbilas dynamic

you can order these from regal in southampton, they also do cams for 20v and other stuff too

plus dcoe type manifolds for the vw engines

Used alot of dbilas parts in the past some good, some not so good and some just silly expensive.

i used a dbilias dcoe manifold on my felicia ages ago, and for the price i think it was really good quality, not as good as the dorg motorsport one which is hiding under the bonnet of my lupo but they are cheaper too. i didn't feel daring enough to use their throttle bodies too becuase they look a bit cheap and nasty, but maybe next time i'll give em a try

They are nasty. A good friend of mine paid a fortune for an X20XEV set and they were awfull. Individual tb's with a crappy narrow plenum bolted to them, destroying the point of having the tb's in the first place.

ah that's good to remember...... i think i'll stay faithfull to the jenvey tb's in future then!
