After much development using a Lupo build for CZTA (2016-2018 motor) Motor and A MK1 Rabbit for DJXA (2019+ motor) we have created what is surely one of the most authentic OEM driving experience 1.4t swap tunes available anywhere!  With OEM driving characteristics and properly tuned power additions using factory turbo and ECU.  These motors are sure to put a smile on your face for many years of driving!  Proven to be a very reliable and efficient motor in the OEM chassis.  This swap is one to rival the classic swaps for reliability and far exceed them all for power.

We dyno'd a bone stock CZTA motor and DJXA/DGXA motor for comparisons of power and torque, to see the increase with the swap file tuning.

The stock 16-18 motor made: 137hp & 175ft/lbs of torque

The stock 2019+ motor made : 120hp & 143ft/lbs of torque

Both the Lupo build and MK1 Rabbit build contained hardware upgrades of a 2.5” down pipe and exhaust and divorced charge cooling system. The cars made respectable gains from tuning:

1.4t 16-18 motor: 165hp & 231ft/lbs of torque. That's an increase in power of 20% and torque increased by 32%.

1.4t 19+ motor : 171hp & 243ft/lbs pf torque. That’s an increase of +43%hp and +70%torque.

As you can see from the graphs, the power is real world usable power.  With an immense increase in torque, this motor begs for a long gear transmission in any light chassis.  These tunes have pushed the OEM hardware to its peak performance and exhibits calibration that blends the worlds of efficiency with fantastic acceleration.

The software requires the use of the factory ECU, 1.4t factory fuel pump and controller, charge cooler pump and all motor hardware matched to motor being used. The starter motor and cooling fan control is to be configured the traditional way; meaning the ECU no longer controls these aspects. All lambda probes are required (both upstream and downstream). No fault codes will be present in a correctly installed swap. 

*++Minimum 93 octane.++*

*++Required hardware++*

Clutch switch 

Factory fuel pump and controller

Factory throttle pedal 

All lambda probes (qty 2)

*++Hardware not required by the ECU++*

Starter motor relays and wiring

Cooling fan wiring

Temperature sensor in bottom coolant hose

Connection to CAN bus.

All harnesses come standard with a fully functional OBD port, battery+ lead to feed harness power, and fuel pump sub harness to be run to fuel pump module to be located at fuel tank.  Connection to your cars OEM brake switch output and installation of a factory or equivalent clutch switch is required.

With customer supplied cores (engine and chassis side) a universal install harness cost is $750.

A body Side core can be supplied for harness build at a cost of +200$. This reduces the customer supplied requirement to only an ECU needing to be sent in.

ECU swap file is $750 and ecu must be from a 2016-2018 CZTA or 2019+ DGXA/DJXA equipped vehicle- motor must match the ecu generation/year range being used.
