Hi all, have joined from f/b as not allowed to advertise on there!!!
My 306 has been treated to a 2.0 turbo conversion carried out by me and my mate. I wanted certain things done in a certain way (don't we all!!!).
Firstly, I wanted a HDI 3dr shell for the cheap RFL and Cyclones.
Wanted totally standard from outside.
Factory look under bonnet.
And the loom done so I can remove and refit another HDI easily and the 2.0 back into another 406 with the loom not all butched.
This has all been achieved but the only issue being the turbo stroking again the bulkhead
. Have cut some of the box section to give more clearance but still not sufficient. The steering column is the obstacle now. I rewelded rear mount slightly longer to give clearance but would like to use original size mount.
Is this possible keeping it looking standard????
Any advise appreciated, thanks Chris.
Have run it completely 406 turbo spec with original loom and ecu in same position too. All boost hoses uncut and the 406 radiator with the massive intercooler. I had to suck off the a/c but rad was knacked anyway. Trimmed the rad fan housing down to get it all in lol. Its got a 6 speed in it too but not the proper 6 speed knob if any 1 got one cheap as chips........
And yes I had to slip a dump valve on but as my Renault 9 Turbo has been sat in garage for 4yrs I guessed it weren't being used to great potential on that along with the in car adjustable boost lol!!
