I've read somewhere before about people doing this conversion and was wondering if there's anyone on this forum that has done it and can give me any clues as to the best way of going about it?
I've got a 2.1 Xantia that's even more rotten than my BX and my Ami put together so was kinda thinking about how nice my BX would be with that really rather fantastically torquey 2.1 in it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, ta.
2.1 TD into BX........
A 2.1 diesel BX conversion has been well documented here before:

Stewart (oilyspanner) put a 1.9 TDI into his BX. He subsequently named it "The Hooligan" and said it was difficult to make it drive in a straight line. He also fitted a Subaru-type intercooler bonnet scoop, which was rather cool.

I can vouch for Mat's bx, it certainly accelarated from slow speed very quickly, i was rather surprised, i especially enjoyed the black smoke billowing out It certainly seemed a big improvement over my tzd which tbh never felt that quick
