Just finished my boosted xud9te into 2003 Blingo

[El-Robb]

Hi everyone, Over the past few weeks iv stuck a 406 dturbo engine into my gutless dw8 mk2 Blingo.

To be honest I thought it would go straight in but there was a few things different with the block castings which slowed things down untill I decided what I was doing.

I made a gearbox mount and Im now using a 306 dturbo box although Im away to swap back to the 1.6 205 gti box for the crazy acceleration!

It runs 24psi of boost through 2.5" solid pipes and a front mount cooler.

My pas and alternator was going to be a pain so I ended having just the alternator running off the aux belt and I fitted a electric saxo pas pump instead.

My pump timing had been advanced and the fuel pump itself is off a 1.8 turbo.

It runs a xantia inlet which has been modified for better flow and the egr thrown away.

In the end I got it all built up and running only for it to go into eco-mode and I lost all my electrics as I didnt use the original berlingo flywheel the 1st time which meant I couldnt use the belingo crankshaft sensor which meant the van didnt know the engine was running hence it going into eco-mode.
After swapping the flywheel and using the original cs sensor i got my rev counter and electrics back.

Im currently looking into water injection

That sounds like a heck of a project! If you have some pix please post. Would like to see this beast.

Hi, I'v still got loads to do as far as tidying it up goes.
I'm away to replace the hid bulbs and wiring today aswell as removing the engine loom and taking back any unused plugs , head shrinking them and resealing the loom.

I'm on holiday all week for my birthday so Im hoping to get plenty done.

I just ordered a new intercooler so I should get that in a couple of days.

Wait until you see the tool I made for flaring boost pipes so they dont blow off...........AWESOME!
I use the tool to make concave bumps on my boost pipes along with Mikalor clamps.

I just tried to upload a load of pics I took but it wont let me due to the images being far to big, any way round that?

Have a look at this thread for resizing pictures

Congratulations, that's a nice project you've got going.

I too would like to see some pics when you get round to it

Hi, thanks for the link, hopefully thats my pics re-sized and they will upload no probs. Those pis are a few days old now and theres quite a bit changed. I have my new intercooler and Iv ordered a new 2.5" boost pipe kit as those were old scratched bits of pipework from my last turbo conversion.

Catch tank as well?

Catch tank as well?

Yeah, its got a bit of a breathing issue as it I havent got it recirculating, so when its hot it blows out steam.

I'v now used jizzer and degreased and washed the engine bay.
The cylinder head came up like new!

what BHP will it have?
