I wish I had the complete answer. I think there should be, but it will only be effective if the transmission is re-geared appropriately. My 1.9 was pretty well dead when I bought the van, and I have not finished rebuilding it. I know there are others on the list that have 1.9NA engines that should be able to give an opinion based an an engine in good condition.
