red Bx estate2.1 d12 in progressss (Romania)
well ... it will have over 300 nm of torque ... and it is an estate version(the longer... the better (NOT) ... and yes the previous owner didn`t care to much about the car ...
i can feel it even in normal driving... how it twists ... so it is a good adition!
There are no more 16 valves in Romania there are 3 or 4 left... and they are not for sale... and the shiping for a interior from outside the country doubles the cost of the 16 v interior

I have to say that the photo looking into your engine bay from the top shows what a very neat job you have done. You've taken a lot of care! Have you used a standard XM/Xantia 2.1 radiator and inter cooler?

Did you have to modify any of the slam panel to fit it in? I'd like to fit a larger front mounted inter cooler (say from my 2.1 Xantia) but from a brief glance it means cutting bits out of the car which I'm reluctant to do.
Well i think your efforts of taking all the parts from the XM was worth it as it really does look neat!

yes ... the front of the car needs a bit of work ... cut in one place... strenghted in other ....
measured the original intercooler .... it is 86 cm wide , 37 cm heigh .. so it is just a case of remodeling the original status of the fan units ...
here are some photos with the front
(we have added a bar in front .. for protection)
also the bottom end(the one that the radiator and the intercooler sits... needs to be lowerd and moved a little in the front ... just for that little extra space ... in case of something ...the engine won`t suffer much !)
any questions i will help you with joy ! i do not recomend the original intercooler ! If you want to do an upgrade ... choose the c5 2.0 hdi one !
I will do that on a 1.7 td engine for a friend... and i think it is less space consuming... and better performance
