Today I did something to my car (volume 2)

Quick question folks, I've currently 205/45/17s on the car at the moment and theres a bigger gap between the wheel and the arch than there was when I had 15s on it! My question is, instead of getting the car on lowering springs would it be possible to change to a different tyre height/width to make it look lower than it is now?
What tyres originally? 205/40's sound too small to me....!
As for me, well, bumface to this!
Common XUD fault, valve stem seals go after a while. So nothing wrong with the engine, just a few miserable seals. Not bad for a seriously abused engine with over 300k miles....
As a result, I've been forced to shovel the Xantia engine in. Not without it's differences!
Cleaning up the fuel heater
LDA hat shined to a millimetre of it's life
And rocker cover
The little differences that make this time consuming....!
My shoulder is fecked since Sunday and am genuinely struggling with the simplest of tasks.... Like engine removals :eek: big hats off to 166man and 156man for physically taking the engine out of the car for me...... :eek: and leaving my bay spotless!!!
Yet another pikey fabrication in the making
Think it needs longer
Wastegate next. This was rather difficult to get right
No not yet....
It took over 2 hours to get it bent in the right way and shape (not helped by the cripple typing)
And that's as far as I am. How the fook am I going to get this done tomorrow

I have to say Dgt I have never seen an Xud/HDi with valve stem seal issues before (I know you from the 306 owners club btw I work for them) I would be more inclined to say you blew and oil gallery in the head gasket, especially with the hell you give your engines

DGT, not trying to be smart phone or anything ( that would hurt my brain actually), but WHAT THE HECK are you building/repairing, I am totally lost?
My car decided to consume it's oil on Monday and I have an engine ready to shove in, it needs some fiddling to fit as its from a Xantia and is sort of a rush job.... I hope it works right for the moment while I sort the engine it came withI have to say Dgt I have never seen an Xud/HDi with valve stem seal issues before (I know you from the 306 owners club btw I work for them) I would be more inclined to say you blew and oil gallery in the head gasket, especially with the hell you give your engines
Didn't think there were any 306oc members here apart from myself and Killian! The old engine had the same issue and could still also fly that's what I was told when I asked about it.... All I can do is open them up and find out
As for this evening, I finally have it ready.... Turbo that is
As the car still is....
Hope to have it in the garage someday, add to the list of motors that graced those doors :cool:
Pikey time :pac:
The result
And sitting on will the eagle eyed spot something else I added..... 
Manifolds are back on, just loom, box, alternator bracket and clutch to add. Timing belt roller and tensioner need replacing. Pump needs the top half rebuilt. Downpipe needs a bit of editing to fit and rotate properly. Then on it goes.... 0 -

A stitch in time...saves nine, I meant to get to this for a hood while, got some leather filler from some lad on ebay.pl Poland, its good stuff from what I can see, flexible and ideal for hard worked areas...not sure longetivity but its worked ok so far.
Tub says to use a hairdryer between layers (I needed several) but I used this fine weather to dry and kept going over it over the last few days - its not 100% but its a 1000000% better
BEFORE:
AFTER (I ran over the furniture dye I previously used as well):
First Layer:
The filler is 15ml heavy black filler for ebay seller: leatherclinic

Pikey egr blank by the looks of it :pac:
Which turbo are you running? looks like a tdo4l from your pictures?
Its nice to see a few tinkering Peugeot heads, if I could stop blowing clutches someday there may be a meet
Spot on needs trimming round the edges but it'll do for now
That's a K14 from a Merc E300TD, TD04 is impossible to find in the yard... That turbo was cheap and many more available :cool: damn nearly a bolt on fit with the later manifold, I'm sure it's bolt on with the older manifolds not happy with my downpipe but will be sorted in due time
I would love to get my hands on a CG paddle clutch now that you mention it, even if it would cost more than the car :pac:0 -

Hmmm any specs on it?
I have an Iveco Daily ko3 on my hdi, been over 180bhp for 2 years now and still going strong!
I have a CG paddle clutch in the workshop you can have if you want, it lasted about 2000 miles before exploding :rolleyes: wouldnt recommend them!0 -

Specs were very hard to find untill I asked and was pointed in the right direction.... :cool:
From this post is a comparison to the standard K14Turbine:
xud k14 i=49mm e=42
606 k14-2 i=52mm e=48
Compressor:
xud k14 e=50mm i=32mm
606 k14-2 e=60mm i=43mm
I can say it's a very close fit, but the Merc turbo won't fit in the XUD K14 turbine housing, I tried last night. Collar is 55mm vs 50mm.... Comp wheel is the same diameter but trim is different, won't allow it to fit without reaming
I have the very same K03 here and the K14 dwarfed it..... And it's going on a Daily! :eek: needs it's cartridge replaced though...
Had planned a TB2509 from a Daily but was too messy making adapters to fit.... And smaller than the K14
Also in the pipeline is a Daily intercooler (see a pattern
) surprisingly with the 406 there is a lack of room at the front for it.... Need to bin the standard fmic first
Balls.... I'm always weary of turning things too high and worrying about the clutch! Currently on a Borg and Beck this last 30k miles, seems fine what would be a good paddle clutch or even uprated clutch to use? 0 -
Seems a nicer size than the td04 alot of people are going with!Specs were very hard to find untill I asked and was pointed in the right direction.... :cool:

Yes the iveco ko3 is not massive but the hdi needs less air, and too big is worse than too small!
Also Peter the mapper had alot of dynos run with this particular turbo so knew how to get the best out of it (and its built like a tank internally)
To be honest the standard Xud clutch is pretty ok with regards tuning as they tend to make power higher up the revs, the issue is on HDis where you make 340 lbs/ft below 3k rpm the clutches just give out.
Your rods will be on the ground long before your clutch gives up 0 -

All I'm afraid is it's a bit too big and will have serious lag.... Have a 11mm pump with some dynamic advance enhancements (different spring/shims) and other customisations on the engine too so that should help! I have it set to rev close to 6k rpm and can turn it down when needed if I could bin the semi ecu crap I'd be eve happier :pac:
No mapping here, all screws and spanners sounds like I can send the power high enough so!
Looking to rebuild it's own engine with HDi rods someday 0 -

So today I'm getting a new flexi pipe section on the exhaust yay!
So to continue on from above post here is the result!
They also threw in a few other little bits too
Replaced the nuts and such and stuck on some form of paste
Welded one of the supports back on, so now it's not swaying about
And replaced a seal behind this guy!
Next on the agenda, 3 months tax, then it's back to the fun!0 -
Heard an almighty metallic clank last week when driving. Took the rear right wheel off a few days later to bleed brakes and a section of shock spring fell onto the ground.
Got two new ones in Prentice today, €255!
They sent off a enquiry to BMW in Germany as to what struts are in my sport. €353 a corner. Springs will do for now!0 -

Cheers to Currran from detailingshed for dropping me up a snowfoam lance and fedw other bits and pieces, car was destroyed with tree sap, but I couldn't resist trying out the lance, I hosed it down afterwards but didn't give it a proper wash as it was far too warm and I wasn't feeling it
The snowfoam stripped all the tree sap anyway - impresed with it so far
