AWD Škoda Citigo with a 2.0 L Turbo Diesel Inline-Four

This Škoda Citigo was built by Darkside Developments in Barnsley, United Kingdom. The Citigo is a rebadged Volkswagen Up and comes with a naturally aspirated or turbocharged 1.0 L inline-three. However the creative mechanics at Darkside Developments replaced the inline-three with a 2.0 L 16v TDI inline-four (CFHD). The engine features Darkside ported head, stock pistons w/ 1.5 mm valve reliefs and PTG ceramic coating, Rosten H-beam rods, race camshaft, enlarged valves, upgraded valve springs, and 2000 bar injectors. The engine is making 280 horsepower from a Garrett GTB2260VK turbocharger however they expect it to make 360 horsepower and 450+ lb-ft of torque with a switch to a Garrett GTD2872VR turbocharger and Wizards of NOS direct port nitrous system. The AWD drivetrain consists of a 02M/02Q six-speed manual transmission with upgraded gearset and forks, Darkside twin-plate clutch, Quaife LSD, custom driveshaft, and Quaife Gen 1 Haldex 4WD rear LSD.

    1. NOS is a brand of nitrous equipment, not a name for the nitrous itself. Don’t make the fast and furious mistake of calling nitrous NOS.

  1. From Wikipedia: In the context of racing, nitrous oxide is often termed nitrous or NOS. The term NOS is derived from the initials of the company name Nitrous Oxide Systems, one of the pioneering companies in the development of nitrous oxide injection systems for automotive performance use, and has become a genericized trademark. Nitro is also sometimes used, though incorrect, as it refers more to nitromethane engines.
