Why is there so little interest in tuning the 1.9dci

Hi Guys,

having come back to the Renault world with a Grand Espace IV 1.9 dci I'm amazed at how little tuning there is done to these engines and how small the power gains are.



My last car was a 115hp Seat Alhambra with the 1.9 PD VW engine. With a bigger turbo, larger injectors and a remap these engines can safely hit 200hp but with a few more mods like forged rods and arp bolts 300hp is possible.



Even trying to find out basic info like what make and model turbo and what size nozzles the Renaults injectors have is proving problematic.



There is a mountain of info on the web on the PD engines but why isn't there the interest in making that kind of power out of the 1.9dci?

P.S. Espace coliovers cost 4 times what a set for the Alhambra would cost and there is no choice, only one manufacturer makes them.
