2.0 tfsi

[browa0]

Hi

I am new to the westfield scene. Does anybody know if the 2ltr TFSI golf mk5 engine goes into the westfield. If so does anybody have any info?.

Cheers

If you try hard enough just about most car engines will fit. Unless their is a very good reason to reinvent the wheel it may be better to stick with one of the more conventional engine choices. If its just because you want to the best of luck.

Ive got an Audi S3 at the mo with a 2.0Tfsi motor in and it b****y flies, very peaky power band If it would fit it would suit a westy I reckon

I have the 240bhp tfsi engine in a Leon Cupra and it's a lot of fun when the turbo kicks in, but in my opinion I don't think I want that kind of power delivered like that in a Westfield.

Just my opinion and preference and I'm sure plenty will have strong opinions on this.

I always prefer an NA engine to a turbo motor in a Westfield.

Until last year, I had a Skoda Octavia VRS which had a Revo remap to around 270bhp and nearly 300lbft of torque. It pulled superbly, so I can only begin to imagine how quick it would be in a Westfield ! The only downer was the annodyne exhaust note, but I am sure that could be sorted. Main issue will be heat from the turbo, but I guess there are plenty of members with experience of this with Cosworth turbos.

I have the TFSI in my Octavia VRS, real peach of an engine but wouldn't want it in the Westfield.

I love my XE on carbs

Got one of these engines in my Octavia too - also with a Revo map. The delivery is very smooth providing you don't use the throttle pedal like a light switch, and it pulls like a train, would be crazy fast in a Westy.

The Cupra uses the K04 turbo which is larger than the K03 in the Octavia, plus when combined with the standard map that might explain the peaky delivery.

However, as said, I think the power delivery is more 'natural' from an NA engine and thus more suited to such a light car Westy.

Edit: Seems the vRS is very popular amongst Westy owners! For good reason

That's a very complicated engine for a car that will always be best kept simple.  

Direct petrol injection is a fussy thing, I'd be surprised if this was a straightforward conversion.

Are these the ones with the extraordinarily high fuel rail pressures?

[Matt Seabrook]

Are these the ones with the extraordinarily high fuel rail pressures?

Yep I think its over 100 bar which for a petrol is one heck of a lot.

[SteveH]

Yep, that's the ones.  

Much lower than common rail diesels at over 1000 bar but still a system that seems to have a lot of problems and hard to fix no matter whether it's the VW, BMW, Renault, Vauxhall or Mitsubishi versions (other systems are probably available   )

[perksy]

Is the TFSI engine supposed to run on super unleaded   (or at least its recommended)      

[AdamR]

To meet the stated power output - yes. You can run 95RON but power will be down a little, no damage to the engine though as the ECU adjusts for it.

[Matt Seabrook]

Yep, that's the ones.  

Much lower than common rail diesels at over 1000 bar but still a system that seems to have a lot of problems and hard to fix no matter whether it's the VW, BMW, Renault, Vauxhall or Mitsubishi versions (other systems are probably available   )

Yep common rail diesels are running much higher pressure than that even the older Pug/Cit HDi run 1350bar the newer stuff is getting closer to 2000bar and the development stuff is higher than that. Bonkers fuel pressure and just asking to go wrong if you ask me.
