i may be mistaken here, and i'm failry sure Dogbreath knows the correct answer here, but i believe the BX version of this lump has a stainless steel manifold as standard.

Slightly off topic but malachy! Either I have missed a thread with your progress or you didn't make one! Just looking at your link now :) Coming along nicely mate, well done :)
 
ok you info-hungry people, time for another update :D.


Phase 3: Dual Controls & Brakes

this is where proper engineering (and problems!) begin and what most of you have been waiting for! :)


in this chapter we tackle the dual clutch and dual throttle operation unit:

as well as sort out the brakes to get a potentially usable car:

you can find the first part of the story (with 34 pics) on THIS PAGE.


thanks.
 
Nice job! A 4WD 205 should go well... Should reduce understeer somewhat. I guess you had to find a new place for the fuel tank and spare wheel, but by the sounds of it, that's the least of your concerns!

If I took it for a spin, I'd be tempted to try leaving the front engine in neutral, and see what a RWD 205 handles like!

PS, another 205gtidrivers member here, apart from my 205 is an oil burner (I can hear the boo's and hisses already)!

nah i quite enjoy my stdt as a daily driver :) it even has the all fabouled screw mod so tbh quicker than an mi16/mi32 205 anyway
 
The screw mod eh? The MI16's stand no chance. ;) Did it make a noticeable difference? I'm tempted to do it to mine, but I want it to carry on being reliable as well. I've got an XRDT myself, it's surprisingly good to drive, but it needs some TLC (well a new battery at least).
 
probably like that, well depending on how you enter the corner etc really.

however, i was replying to the idea that it will REDUCE understeer.
 
sorry for the delay, caused by web-access problems.


in this update, to conclude the Phase 3 story, we make the dual-gearshift system.

you can find the 2nd/last part of the story (with 34 pics again) on THIS PAGE.


after nearly 2 weeks of engineering, hard work and a lot of sweat... Phase 3 is complete! :D

stayed tuned for Phase 4 of the 205 Mi32 Project!


p.s. if anyone's got an old style 205 GE-quickshift L-lever for sale, please let me know!


thanks.
 
sort of off topic, but are there any 205 T16s out and about ? I heard peugeot didnt actually sell any, and just kept them all... a fully kitted out twin engined T16 would be both sacrilege and pwnage at the same time :D
 
Looks like a good project. My worry is that rear dummy axle. Those welds just dont look sufficient and square edged to tubular is asking for it with that power.

Peugeot had to sell T16's.
it was one of the conditions of group B.
recent bay auction for reference.

sorry for the long delay, due to a computer crash, data loss and recovery and
system reinstallation on top of having a lot of commercial design work to do!


Phase 4: Coolant Radiator & Exhaust System

Phase 4 story is all about fitting a large customised radiator:

and constructing both front and rear engine exhaust systems:

so we could start the front engine next.


you can find the story (with 40 pics) on THIS PAGE.

this time it only took three full days of intensive work to complete the phase :).


stay tuned for a short video and then Phase 5 of the 205 Mi32 Project!


thanks.
