I cant remember/misplaced the diesel spec sheet for bore and stroke, but wondering if the 1.9 ha a longer stroke? Breaks down to 75cc per cylinder increase. I don't want to be one of those hot rod diesel guys,just want to make it the most efficient it can be with small power gains.

Put up with it for the mileage, or put a different engine in it for power. Diesel engines are hammered with high compression, add a turbo to this engine and you'll be lucky to get 1000 miles out of it before it self destructs. Just my $0.02. Stuart '85 Westy, and I want more power too.
