Bit of fun 205 dt

[Piggy]

whats with the odd coolant box on the back on the block...I not rememeber seeing one of those on a xud before!?

[td_dan]

Piggy - Its the one off the 1.8 block just makes the coolant system easier to route as everything will be plug and play

Zx - i fitted that gt20 to my other dt but the shaft play was to bad as it had already scored the housing it lasted 100miles before ate itself lol so got the t25 and a td04 as spares but i am on the look out for another gt as they spool so quick just completly different drive

Same as what me and luke did when dropping the xud9 in his 205.
Makes things a million times easier not having to reroute everything :-)

Well just a little one finished work at 7pm then some little beauties popped up on facebook so i went shopping 3hrs later i was home with the following

Lol boredom

Right then had some time on my hands today after doing my brother in laws aux belt on his focus, after he left the garage had to sort out the front of the garage where i keep getting a puddle so just chucked down a couple of slabs to level it out and job done



so after that i pushed the 205s back end out and got it jacked right up





changed the engine mounts for some new ones







and its in



not much space for the rad so i thought id use some angle i had knocking around to lower it a little just need to weld them on now





mounted up the fan to, just using one for now to see how it goes



then i got a bit carried away and did some trimming and ended up with this



then before leaving the garage i took a couple more pics and this is where it was left





all boost pipes will be orange, also still got ALOT of jobs to do so will keep updating as and when

comment welcome as usual

[td_dan]

[Pugmarshall]

Looks amazing mate, very inspiring

[td_dan]

Cheers luke

[Chris_90]

Looking good! You not having front grill?

[Tom]

That intercooler is heroic!

[td_dan]

Probably not gonna see how it goes

---

It was 306 fmic setup so had to do some trimming lol

[Chris_90]

I thought mine was big lol, I lent mine back at the top so I can keep the grill, I've also done something similar with the rad. Don't no if you no but you can put Clio oil filter on to free up some room.

[td_dan]

Ye i no got quite abit of room now but if i have problems im gonna change it

[padge]

intercooler looks bad ass! leave it showing like that

[td_dan]

unfortunatly took a step in the wrong direction tonight, i knew there was a bit of rust but i werent quite aware how bad, i was 'trimming' the front panel for the fmic to fit and found the following







so obviously not good news especially seeing as stevie wonder and ray charles can weld better than me lol BUT anyway i will perservere and see what i can do, gonna buy this and go from there

[td_dan]

I no i was only trimming it and it literally fell apart but for 50quid can replace whole from so not complaining

[Piggy]

That is a good price!

[Chris_90]

Oooo that is quite bad, im lucky mine wasn't that bad.

[Pugmarshall]

Hopefully mine's not that bad! Late Ph2 so less likely to be...
