new to the forum - umperdunk - 03-01-2015
hi guys, ive had my 306now for a few years. its a bit rat look but as it only cost me £125 I think its the best way. Mods I have done are boost gauge and waste gate turned up to boost at 15psi. lucas pump swapped for a bosch unit. LDA boost pin turned round fuel turned up and governor mod done. Rear beam has been lowered with bilstine shocks and -60mm 106 front springs (from a car I wrote off about 10 years ago) Oh yeah don't forget the home made bonnet scoop for extra flow over the intercooler haha. So far I think I have only spent about £500 on the car in the 2 years ive had it including cambelt change and the alloy wheels. Oh and the fact I can run it on veg oil from Tesco for 80p a litre means this car is probably the cheapest car ive ever had.

What a beast, nice one. What kind of MPG are you getting out of it?

RE: new to the forum - umperdunk - 03-01-2015
I get about 600 miles to a tank but I don't tend to drive slow.

Welcome to the mad house
RE: new to the forum - umperdunk - 03-01-2015
cheers its good to be here. My last diesel was a mk1 caddy I did quite a lot of work on that. was running about 160hp but I went through 4 gearboxes in the few years I had it so im not going to tune the 306 much more. maybe a 2.5" straight through just too get it spooling quicker but that's about it.

Welcome!
Looks quite cool!
15psi is about standard to be honest...get it wound up a bit!!
RE: new to the forum - WiNgNuTz - 03-01-2015
Welcome along, I ran my DT (with a Lucas pump and a T2 turbo) at about 20psi, much more responsive. As Piggy says, 15psi is pretty much standard!
I do like the "Its cheap, i dont give a f*ck" look tbh, its really beginning to suit 306's IMO.
RE: new to the forum - umperdunk - 03-01-2015
like I said before I don't really want to tune it much more because you just loose the reliability. I ran my caddy at 21psi and it used to get hot so fast when I was flat out. if I turn the boost up I will need a bigger exhaust.
