It's a very interesting project you've done. I have a 2.1 in a Xantia and that goes very well so you must really fly in a BX.
I know this may take you some time, but if you are able to list some of the problems and how you overcame them it would be interesting.
Also, does the car feel front heavy at all? Have you put 'stiffer' spheres on to help with any handling issues?????
Thanks tho', very interesting!

well, problems ... the whole front end of the car needs modifications ! to make room for the intercooler, the turbo .. needs some modifications and also the thermostat needs a little work ! it is a lot of work is u want the final product to be reliable ! how to get over obstacles? with a lot of hard work
i really don`t feel the difference between a bx with 1.9 td engine ,and this one ... now i`m using xm hidractive spheres 35 bar on front , and 30 bar in the back ... but when i load the back with people.. and stuff.. it kind of bounces around .. the same problem had a friend... and the magic solution is the presure ... 25 bar !!! i didn`t had time for modifications but ... that`s about all !
(a passat tried to out run me on a road with .. hard bends.. and everything .. but he had a little surprize ,if you know what i mean... and yes the handling depends of the driver )

today the fuel injectors were checked and they were working at 155 -160 bar , the corect presure needed 175 bar .. so we solved the presure problem and now it works much much better but now it needs more diesel and more air really need a bigger air filter .. but coming soon keep in touch

hello to all today is a big day ... i finally got my brake calipers (fron and rear) from a xantia 2.1 , the big ones 15" can`t wait to put them on the car , and now i`m running on full fuel settings (it needs a bigger air-filter) , also i removed the "rev limiter" it now pulls all the way to 4000 (when it will have more air.. i think it will go very clean to 4300/4500 rpm ! who said it wasn`t a revy engine )
good luck to all
