Peugeot 206 - XUD9 VNT Lash Up

[darrenjlobb]

Was useful for Me and Mark being able to spend some time on the dyno the other day, Its a very capable car this, and really shows what you can do with an XUD on a really small budget in honesty...Makes some seriously good power / torque, in its current state the turbo is right on its limits really, and peak power only possible with excessive injection duration, but that said, backing the fuel off to a level where the car was clean, was still giving a STRONG 190hp, and plenty of torque....which in a stripped out french car, is more than enough to have some serious fun!

I think with some more time on the dyno, the VNT control could be "sorted" quite a bit better, as it almost has "two powerbands" at the moment due to the way its setup, I think some fettling would result in a better curve, and also higher torque midrange, although in some respects this might almost make it worse... Was certainly interesting seeing how the fuel / boost was effecting the power levels, and sounded epic, sadly as normal cameras are incapable of picking up epic diesel boost noise!!

Thanks Mark for bringing it down for testing, helped me out alot also!

I hope this engine / the next generation of motor finds its home into something win to! But its deffo time for the turbo to upgrade, but also shows just what you can do with a mid generation 2256 which can be picked up so cheaply these days!
