Unfortunately the increased output combined with hard driving resulted in catastrophic engine damage. So out went the damaged engine and in went a 2.0 L TDI (CFHD) diesel inline-four. The new motor features Darkside Developments&#8217; GTB turbocharger kit, Performance Race camshaft, Stage 1 CP3 fuel pump, Stage 1 injectors, upgraded valve springs, and a Snow Performance Stage 1 water injection system. The 2.0 L motor produces 302 hp and 425 lb-ft (576 Nm) of torque with water\/methanol injection or 274 hp and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque on diesel only. That power is sent to the front wheels through a 02J five-speed manual transmission with a Sachs SRE Performance clutch and Wavetrac LSD. The car rides on H&#038;R 40 mm lowering springs, H&#038;R anti-roll bar, 2013 SEAT Ibiza rear axle, and Mtec C-hook front rotors.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/q5-XXeiLCZ4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/q0Ujduc79aQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk\/skoda-fabia-2-0-tdi-cfhd-304-5bhp-405ft-lbs\/\">Darkside Developments<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCOV70tt1hhu62A3utC8-0RA\">amd87ts<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This \u0160koda Fabia visited Darkside Developments for more power.
