Hello all. I've been looking on here for a couple of weeks now to see what other people have done to uprate their XUD engines. My 205 is a 1997 two door Mardi Gras ( non turbo, non sunroof ) and my mate James recently found me a decent 306 TD engine. Until a fortnight ago this was in a 305 and recently completed a massive road trip, along with James' BX around Europe and this tells me it's a good engine. I'm planning a Turbo swap to a VNT ( James' recommendation ) and I'll be fitting uprated con rods and ARP rod bolts along with ARP head studs. I'd like to mount the Turbo above my gearbox as I think it would make it easier to work on. I'd like about 170 reliable BHP and 200 ftlbs of torque. There's loads of boy racers with Civics and Corsas round here in Chesterfield and I'm looking forward to smokin' a load of them in my piece of junk 205. ......Luke.
