not a peugeot, but still...

hi, i'm jan aka ladanivabelgium and i drive a Lada Niva with Citroën Xantia 1.9TD engine.
I will have several questions for the td section on this forum

my ride:

Hope you already had that tow hooked up and wrapped round the front before taking it swimming, nothing like trying to hook one up under water where you can't see anything.

Welcome to the club! That looks amazing, you should put up a build/project thread

[Piggy]

cool! RWD?!

[1616six]

cool! RWD?!

Please don't tell me you just asked th... No.. Really?

Facepalm...

[Scott]

It's been mounted longitudinally rather than transversely, it could well have been converted to rwd

Yes true buy you will prib find it has a transfer box mounted to the end off it for 4 wheel drive. It would be pretty usless off road with just RWD

[ladanivabelgium]

4 wheel drive, with 100% locker in the transfer case and a torssen diff in the rear axle

[silverzx]

Sweet 4'by!

[Matt]

welcome, looks awesome! more pics needed!!

[ginge191]

Interesting; lets see the engine spec

[ladanivabelgium]

no spectacular specs: stock 1,9TD with KKK at stock boost.
Must still install an intercooler and an oil cooler. Then we'll see about a stage one

Pulls like a mad man (in Niva terms). Very short ratio: top speed is 140 kph in 5th and then it hits the rev limitter

Blimey. XUD's seem to rev quite well with the standard box, you must be buzzing through those gears properly rapid.

[ladanivabelgium]

yep, when accelerating hard i shift to 5th just over 100 kph



don't mind the temperature gauge in the video, i've got an other set for that:



It's a pleasant ride (again: in Niva terms), but the high revs on the highway make the engine hotter then i'd like. Oil temp is well over 100°C and fans are working hard to keep water temp below 90°C. An ic and an oil cooler will improve that, but this build has cost me a lot already and i must wait for funds

I think i'll buy some stuff at FCS, where my son will be with his Clio 1 16V

BTW: where can i find a stage 1 how to?

[bigcheez2k3]

Look for some videos, on Youtube, from darrenjlobb, he's done loads of XUD related videos and he knows his stuff.

[ladanivabelgium]

thanks, found it

[ladanivabelgium]

am back and need some more info about an intercooler. I'm running 16 psi without an intercooler and inlet air is getting way too hot. I can't put a front mounted intercooler on it since i use this thing for offroading. I have very little room under the hood so that's also a problem. What size interooler do i need? I have a stock intercooler from a R5 Gtt, would that be ok?

Btw: i was at fcs last weekend with my son and his Clio 16valver. Have seen some nice 306's

[Piggy]

If struggling for space, a small charged intercooler would maybe a possibility

Or a small one plus water injection but I cant imagine you have the need for that yet!

[mcvite]

Welcome to the forum

[ladanivabelgium]

thanks

i will posty a picture of the gtt intercooler later today or tomorrow. See what you guys think about it. Remember that i (almost) always drive at high revs because of the short gear ratio. Top speed (i never do that) is 140 km/h and hitting rev limiter

[ladanivabelgium]

this is the ic i plan to install:

[Ubermeister]

That's a sweet looking conversion. I have the same engine in a Suzuki Vitara.
