Peugeot 206 - XUD9 VNT Lash Up

[mr_fish]

Never actually updated this when the engine went back in.

Paddle Clutch Fitted



Painted up the exhaust with some B&Q special BBQ paint....its quiet good actually hasn't flaked off yet - did paint the whole system.



New Genuine pinch bolts and hub nuts (mine have had a hard time with the amount of times they've been removed)



Going back together



ready for front bumper all but





Cobbled together some fittings



Got my neighbour to machine this one down so I could get my 4mm pipe on.



Couple gauges in



Fitted a lairy rear box (was the only thing I had - though not as bad as carl's ;P ) but will sort a more subtle tip when I have 10 mins.

Frosty popped over and we attached the exhaust and finished off some bits and pieces, dropped the car down on its wheels and fired her up. Bled the coolant....which my homebrew coolant system seems to be able to do all by itself.

Went for a test run and all seemed to be well.

All the gauges worked, however the oil pressure one seems too fluctuate a minuscule amount (a bit like a 205 speedo effect) but still, it works. EGTs are average on a hard pull, reckon the exhaust helps with that. EMP seemed to be rather high, as in pinning a 60psi gauge high. Its just down to the turbo not fully coming on song until around 21psi which you then get an almighty surge in power (which yes, feels awesome but can't be good) and this makes the car quite laggy before then. Wound out the controller and its about 19psi now.

Maybe a bit too much fuel



Trouble is at the moment is that to maintain lower EMP you need to keep load on the turbo to get pressure up to 19psi, but is rather hard when cruising on the dual carriageway. So I have some thoughts but just need to have a play at some-point.

Weekends is the only time really I get to play on the car but seeing as I've been doing that for the last few months I've thought I'd do something different.

Still engine and diesel related but more agri spec.





On Sunday, Frosty popped round and helped bolt my spare (originally first fitted one to the 206) engine up to a stand I've borrowed









So that's ready for a strip down now.
