[stuartcampbell1100 0]

HI Everyone ive just motd my 1991 peugeot 205 dturbo 5 door in red!,after a few weeks the head gasket went so ive decided its time for an engine swap

 

it has a 1769cc turbo diesel engine ,no intercooler!

 

My plan is to pick up a secondhand peugeot 306 d turbo engine with the enginemounted intercooler?

 

i do a fair bit withs cars so im not shy for a big job haha

 

what i was wondering is

 

does everything line up?

 

which gearbox is best?

 

driveshafts??

 

do i need to fabricate a downpipe exhaust?

 

what other things do i need to change? i hear the power steering from 205 wont fit with 306 diffrent set up??

 

with he intercooler ,will it fit under my bonnet?is it worth putting a vent in the bonnet?

 

 

any of your help would be fantastic!,any guides out there?,anyone done it ?? Thanks ,Stuart

First thing I recommend you do is to have a search through the forum. All those questions and pretty much every other question you might need to ask have already been covered.

 

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=forum.205gtidrivers.com+D+turbo+&aq=f&oq=forum.205gtidrivers.com+D+turbo+&aqs=chrome.0.57j58j60l3.12816j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&sclient=psy-ab&q=site:forum.205gtidrivers.com+D+turbo+into+205&oq=site:forum.205gtidrivers.com+D+turbo+into+205&gs_l=serp.3...12534.13387.1.13550.9.9.0.0.0.0.187.1211.3j6.9.0...0.0...1c.1.11.psy-ab.BGg9smUEUk4&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45645796,d.d2k&fp=51a2b47f571cda6f&biw=1517&bih=725

 

Use google to search the site; it's alot better than the forum search function.

Its a very easy conversion this one, as the block head and and turbo elbow are the same, everything sits in the same place.

 

use the original downpipe.

 

use the turbo gearbox, fit the 205 mounting stud, fit 205 diff as the TD diff is the big type, 205 shafts don't fit properly.

 

use the 205 clutch arm and fit a bx 16v clutch to the 1.9 TD flywheel.

 

use all the 205 cooling hoses, will need to swap the rear water housing to the 205 one.
