Accord Aerodeck XUDT

[nominous]

Time for some PG2 pics.

Start with a turbo and strip bits off it:





All pretty clean but now it's really clean.
Measured up the turbine exit flange, turns out it's the same size as a commonly used VAG flange and I can port the exit a little bit so it will be 2.5" exit, DP and exhaust.
Inlet flange will need making so am searching for some 8mm steel before giving in and buying it off ebay.

The gaskets for this sucker run at 12quid a set from ebay so will try to find something for less (trip to volvo?).
Figuring out the bits I'll need to buy for oil drain and feed adaption from the stock locations.

Removed the tubby and fanimold from the back of the XUD.
Next test fit will be without which should mean I can get the right alignment front to back without hitting rear x-member and also measure up the CV's and figure out if anything will need cutting.
Hoping to hang the engine in the bay this weekend and not have to take it back out again. Bloody nice to have some garage space back. Also might shove the accord engine under the 306 somehow as also epically in the way.
Then it'll also make it easier to fanny on with sizing up the exhaust manifold and if there is room for a xantia intake or custom !

Obligatory turbo comparison shot:



Wonder if this will fit in a passat.....
