upgrades? - jazzyjohn - 02-11-2014
Ive got a 306 L (slow ass peace of poop )
was wondering if there is anything such as induction. exhaust. Pumps. Ect?
that may give it abit more power mainly take off!
It is a good strong engine with around 87000 n a very clean car so dont want to
Sell it just because its only around 70 bhp lol I didnt know when I bought it haha
any suggestions is appreciated

Petrol diesel? Xud tu xu? What engine. 70 bhp from memory is a flat diesel I think.

Its a flat diesel not sure what kind though
Forgot to say its a 1.9
RE: upgrades? - bashbarnard - 02-11-2014
The flat 1.9s are xuds. You can turn the pump up a touch but to be fair you wont gain much. Easier just to put a turbo diesel engine. Fits straight in easy. But then insurance is a pain.

Ive done that tbh just made it more smoky lol
N changeing the engine is a bit too expensive
for me

You didn't realise when you bought it? Just assumed all the brakes were stuck on then?
That's a bit of an achievement though, the worst engine in the worst spec by accident.
On a serious note though, there's nothing you do to get any significant gains without adding a turbo or swapping the engine I'm afraid.

If you look around you may find a xud lump all in for £100-150 with all the bits you need!
Which with a tune up would see you double your current power. Not bad bhp/£!
RE: upgrades? - lolsteve - 02-11-2014
As said you'd end up spending more trying to get more out of the non turbo engine that it would cost to put in a turbo diesel

Lol I know trust me. So I can add a turbo? How could I go about doing that and im guessin theres other stuff that needs doing too?
RE: upgrades? - Piggy - 02-11-2014
Yeah if you have an endless budget you could add a turbo.
Or fit a xudturbo engine all ready to go!!

Its not as simple as just bolting a turbo on unfortunately, insurance would probably cost more to do that than swap engines anyway!

I think the problem here is insurance though...
RE: upgrades? - Piggy - 02-11-2014
Buy a dturbo/xldt/xrdt/xtdt
RE: upgrades? - Toms306 - 02-11-2014
That is what I'd do in this position tbf...
RE: upgrades? - jazzyjohn - 02-11-2014
I supose I never really thought of insurance :/
on a more realistic thond a induction kit that would maby give a nice sound?
RE: upgrades? - Piggy - 02-11-2014
Seriously
RE: upgrades? - Toms306 - 02-11-2014
Sorry, could've sworn I read something about insurance price, my bad!
Induction kit will give a different sound, not sure about a nice one on that particular engine though.
