hello to all , my name is mihai I`m 18 years old .. in feb 2008 i got my license

and in march i got my bx 19 rd estate (present from my father who saved it from scrap, he is a citro mecanic:D and cx owner) so i started working at the interior .. .. updated the soundproof in it ... changed the dash with a new blue one (painted:D black by me

) )
2 weeks ago i started working at the 12 valve turbo (me and my father -my first serious project) the 1.9 diesel was ok my top speed was 1700 km/h but ... i need more hp so... the engine is from an xm from england .. it had automatic gearbox (sorry if i wrote wrong)
these are the links for pictures ... enjoy

Hi

Impressive! Keep us informed. Like the three extra dials under the air controls. What are they?

Was it hard to fit in? Had that in mind when my XUD9TE said BOOM. I mean what did you have to modify?

mihaistan · Post by **mihaistan** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 9:18 pm

well, easy to put it in ...but hard to put it in properly. i saw the pictures from the holland bx 2.1 turbo and said .. ok that will fit easily

but for the engine to have enough space (to change the oil filter for example ) the front structure and the turbo needs remodeling

my dream is that i tune this engine to similar performance as the valver

maybe faster ,

and if this doesn`t work ... i think i will try to fit a v6

maybe add a little turbo

Could be interesting

Not many turbo diesel BX'es with more than 150hp

Looking forward to see it run!

the beast is alive

it started quickly , no smoke and even without the exhaust sounded very very very (did i mention very?

) good ,the bad part is that it`s not ready yet for the road
