[Race_Prep] 205 Race/rallycross

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

Heres the block all assembled with forged pistons, Pec rods, uprated bearings and ARP bolts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a standard head and cams getting checked over so should have that back this week ready for fitting.

 

 

 

Im also in the process of re building the suspension in both my 205's, as if there wasn't enough to be cracking on with!

Before anyone mentions....yes I know the red 205 needs a wash, it was busy last weekend.....

 

 

 

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

A bit of an update on this,

 

 

Head back from the machine shop, all bolted together and fitted last week,

 

 

Went at mounting all the brackets etc today and am hoping to get at the intercooler and relevant piping etc tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

Im having fun trying to fit a rad, intercooler and 2 oil coolers in the front but nearly all sorted. Supercharger is mounted and all relevant pipework fitted. Should be ready to start up in the coming days.

 

Im wondering about the map that is currently on the ecu, it was for my previous engine on itb's....will it even start now that its hooked up to a low compression engine?

[welshpug 1,661]

should still start indeed, obviously wouldn't advise driving it till its mapped properly.

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

Great, cheers man. It's booked in for mapping in 2 weeks. As long as it starts up ill be delighted. I have the map sensor to wire in and top everything with oil and its good to go.....hopefully!!

So A/C and supercharged isn't possible? Or is that bottom pulley just in place of the compressor?

Watching this post looks mint. I want to charge or turbo my mi16 but can't get a remap over in spain or gibraltar so got to save the cash to take it back to uk ????

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

A/C and supercharging is still possible but this set up does away with it and relocates the PAS pump in its place. I have neither so a dummy pulley is fitted to keep the belt and tensioner as standard.

All coolers piped up and in the process of sorting a swirl pot and Bosch 044 pump.

More pics please!

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

No problem Peter,

 

 

Im in the process of adding a swirl pot and uprated fuel pump.

 

I run a 20 liter aluminium tank in the original position along with a standard 205in tank pump which ill use as a lift pump to feed a swirl pot under the bonnet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The car now runs 4 radiators, an oil cooler for the engine, one for the supercharger, a coolant rad and an intercooler. I dropped the position of the coolant rad and tilted the top back slightly allowing room for the intercooler which was made especially for my 205. Not having to use headlights certainly helped with space! (excuse the dirt....needs a good clean!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mocked up some headlight blanks out of some strong mesh which will also be used in the grill

 

 

 

 

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

Got all the fuel lines sorted over the past few days and fired it up for the first time,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A quick check over and the car was ready for mapping which I got done on Wednesday

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7 hours later she was all done, showing some good results.

 

 

Testing booked in for 2 weeks so time to get the the front together and everything tided up

[petert 588]

... showing some good results.

You're teasing us.

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

You're teasing us.

 

The injectors were maxing out at around 320hp so he brought it back a bit to 305hp. I'm going to run it at that for now...there's always the option to go a bit more if I want when I strengthen the drivetrain which will be the next move.

[petert 588]

Wow, that will be nice to drive.

[blandy 29]

How do you find it compares to the n/a set up you were running previously?

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

looks epic

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

How do you find it compares to the n/a set up you were running previously?

 

I haven't driven it in anger yet but with 80hp more than previous and a lot more torque id expect it to be a different car,

 

 

One thing we noted since the charger was fitted.....I miss the bark from the itb's!

 

 

Entry sent in for rounds 2 and 3 of the Btrda rx championship on the 6th and 7th of June in Pembey so 2 weeks to get the car rallycross ready.

[blandy 29]

Is the inlet manifold the standard ond Lynx use for the 306 or is it made specifically for a 205? Seem to recall someone mentioned 205's have to run a shorter manifold for clearance issues

[p1234 22 2 Cars]

Its the standard length and bonnet fits fine although I use a fiberglass auto bonnet which gives a bit more space so not sure on standard bonnet.

Quick update on this,

 

 

Having great fun....breaking shafts, failed to finish an event since July, Have purchased a set from AB motorsport and hopefully will sort the issue for next season

 

 

Also picked up a 5.2 Cwp so the box is coming out....again!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New plan for 2017 which will see me move away from 205 ownership....well bodyshell at least!
