Item number one for shopping list: turbo.

[Willo]

If it was a bolt on easy job then yes lol

[spike2002]

Cyclones, phase3 front bumper, crystal headlights, lows, phase 3 rub strips

[Willo]

I want front fogs are they an easy retro fit or a bitch ?

[Poodle]

Easy as it comes lol.

[Willo]

Lol so what's the shopping list to turbo a non turbo

[spike2002]

Swap the bumper to phase 3 or fit the phase 2 fogs into the bumper. You should already have the plugs for them behind the bumper and will need a front fog switch. wont be to hard to do

[jonny1.6]

just buy a d-turbo engine and dump it in you just have to change the rad iirc starting to reali like estates atm good luck with it

[Willo]

Won't the loom for the engine be different or clocks or anything like that

Ill check for the wiring later for the fogs

[jonny1.6]

dont think so mate just will need a live going to the stop solinoid a quick search on this site should hold your answers though

[Willo]

Ok I'll have a bit of a search in a bit to see what I can find out about it

[Jonny81191]

TBH if you had a donor car, just swap the engine loom over with the engine, makes life much easier

[Willo]

Ill have to have a shop round does anyone know what parts are actually needed for the swap Incase it works out cheaper than a donar car

[Dum-Dum]

Your best to swap the whole engine as the turbos have a lower compression ratio.

Basically its turbo and fuel pump that you wanna swap and the TDs had longer ratios in the gearbox.

Strongly doubt youd need the loom but you can pick up a donor off ebay for a couple of hundred quid and then if you weight in the shell youll get at least half your money back

Urgh every man and his dog has an estate now, time for a change

On topic though, I have a lot of love for estates these days, well wear chap

[Willo]

I need an estate lol for the practicality for me and my new family and the dog lol so I'm thinking I may need it so why not make it something special

I may well have to start watching eBay for a donor then anyone got any experience swapping these engines out as I will need some advice for doing this

[Pugmarshall]

Where are you situated? There are lots of friendly people on here, I'm sure there might be someone local who can help?

[Willo]

I'm located in Wolverhampton West Midlands

[Willo]

Plans so far I'm after or planning

New rear bumper
Front fog lights
Sort out or run new cables for non working speakers
Silver centre console (one with radio in)
Stereo either one or 2 subs plus 1600 watt toxic amp
Need to sort out or replace a couple if door cards


Anyone got any more ideas I'm on a tight budget as my 11 month old daughter takes up most of my time and money lol

Urgh every man and his dog has an estate now, time for a change

yours is for a fact my favourite car on the entire forum!!

but good luck with this mate hope it all goes well

[Willo]

What can I do to these I'm completly new to peugeots

[Birk]

Why not smooth it off and paint it white!

[Jonny81191]

I say go sleeper. Keep the bodywork as it is, tidy up a bit maybe but no more, then drop an epic XUD lump in.

[Willo]

Thinking about getting a set of cyclones for it

[Pugmarshall]

Start with small aesthetics first, but fix any fault problems before that, then if you get bored focus on the area's which you feel the car lacks most. My bet is power!

[puglove]

Following on from your thread in the other section. It sat about right.

[Willo]

That's great thanks mate I was bit worried being new to peugeots and not really having looked at them much had all checked out today mechanically she's sound ashetically she needs a make over I need a back bumper and drivers tail lamp to start with then 4 door cards possible drivers side window seal for front the one that runs at base of window so off to the scrappy I go lol
