Peugeot 205 Mi32

we plan to run ~0.5 bars or something like that on standard compression ratio (9.7:1),
depending on how this (little-ish) turbo performs, which should be enough to easily go
over 200 bhp and 250 nm? but we won't know for sure before it get's a power run ofcourse.
 
Nice, a smaller turbo should at least be a little less laggy.

I drive a nice sensible 205TD myself, it nice to see something a little more crazy out there. :cool: Keep it up!
 
in a quite eventful second part of the Phase 8 story, MegaSquirt ECU gets built up:

then we turn our attention to boost cooling setup:

and finally - fit larger, "turbo-ready" fuel injectors:

just a little explanation, as the story makes it look like we're
doing a whole turbo conversion in just a weeks time :) - Phase 8
updates are not "in real time", we've been doing preparations and
gathering parts for a few months but i've decided that it's best
to present it all logically grouped and arranged step by step,
at the same time as actually doing the conversion :).

thanks.
 
the fourth part of the Phase 8 story!


in this update - turbo mounted, exhaust made and chargecooler installed:

it was time to start it up and go for a drive as it was a race with time
to get in time on a race (402SR event) :), which starts tomorrow!

sorry for the long delay, i've been very busy lately.


here's the story about our 4th competition event of the season:

402 Street Race - Varazdin (CRO) - 08/Jul/07

after completing the turbo conversion on the rear engine only
the previous night, we decided to go to the 2nd day of the event.

you can see the full picture story (with 32 pics) on THIS PAGE.


and here's the video clip that goes with the story:

sorry for the looong delay in the story updates, i got a bit too busy at the end of last year,
then early this year we found out that my father has to have a heart bypass surgery done
which definately meant no racing and no real enthusiasm to work on the car and to top it off,
402streetrace series 2008 season has been buggered up from start till the end anyway.

my father had the surgery done last week, he's back home now and recovery goes well,
so we can start thinking about more work on the car, but nothing radical will get done for
the next few months for sure.

as a plus point, 205 Mi32 is featured as a Reader's Project in October's issue of Brittish
Practical Performance Car magazine http://www.ppcmag.co.uk and should be featured
in a few more magazines soon which will definately give us an initiative to carry on with
the project!

in the meantime, i've still got a couple of drag race reports to do, which i'll try to do soon.

thanks for the support and see you again soon :).
 
It was about time I updated this topic, I'm sure you'll agree! :)

There hasn't been a lot of work done on the car after my father's surgery (he's fully recovered now!),
as we've stopped racing, had more imporant things to take care of and I've gone back into cycling,
which takes up a lot of my time!

However, here's a quick update of some body work - making the rear end of the car nicer and ready
for the 205GTIDrivers.com EuroTrip that happened back in May (full report to follow):

You can find a few photos HERE.

See you again in this topic soon :).

Thanks.
 
P.S. Sorry, I forgot to mention that the car has also been featured in PSOOC's
(Peugeot Sport Official Owners Club UK) magazine "Torque", a few months ago.

Thanks.
