Hi i would like to show my ITB work from start to finish.. enjoy I cut my original GTi inlet manifold Testing angle I made vacum colector for Map and steper motor... to work with oem Ecui instal saab 2.3 turbo injectors (370ccm)

Hi everybody, a really long time since I've here... about the same as my car has been sitting there all alone... I am slowly starting to put things together again for my engine. I was wondering if anyone would know the installed height of the gti6 springs. I did some measurements today but I'd like to check them with the community. I'm getting a 10.8~11 lb/mm combined rate out of some tired dual valve springs from a ~120k km vts; 90lbs@33.6mm seated pressure and about 200lbs at 10 mm lift. I measured 2 pairs of springs using 2 methods, although one should be more precise than the other, the one in the picture with the small load cell should be more that accurate enough. I also got a very doubtful 33.6mm installed height - need to turn a cylinder to fit between the dummy spring and the tappet bore to measure it more accurately. Can anyone confirm or refute this? I probably need to say that I used a modified xu7jp4 retainer, that aside from any minor machining differences, measures about the same as the gti6 one. If anyone cares this is the spredsheet and some photos Thanks, Nico vsprings.xlsx

Dear mates, my name is Ramón Fernández, from Spain, it's a pleasure to greet you. I’m 32 years old, mechanical engineer and creator of PetrolheadGarage.com. In this website we are a group of non-professional friends that we share, in the most detailed way, our projects, restorations, techniques, passion and knowledge about classic cars with the only goal of learning and enjoying. After sharing the fully restoration of a Mini 1275cc SPI ’95 we are starting our next project: Making a Peugeot 205 Style 1.1 TU1 to GTi-6 (XU10J4RS engine) conversion. This is the car: This project, like that of the Mini we have made, we intend to record it and share it with everyone in our web, Youtube Channel y Facebook, showing each detailed step, how to do it and, above all, the challenges we will face. My knowledge about the 205 and / or any other group model is very limited, I have a world to learn and I’m reading & studying in this great house, so I would like to gather in this post all the information that we can all gather to carry out this project [/ b] . The objective is, as I said, to record it, but to do this it has to be done first, and to do it we have to have all the information possible. With this I hope that, together, we can create the largest and best collection of videotutorials about such an interesting project.. The information I have collected so far about what we need is ( TO CONFIRM – ): Bodywork: We have two. The one of 1.1 that you have seen above and the one of a 205 TD that will serve as a donor, since it has many pieces of 205 GTi, Xsara and 309.Video:Peugeot 205 RFS Restomod #2: ¿Por dónde empezar? Soportes y referencias de motor y cambio Engine: XU10J4RS (RFS) coming from a 1998 306 GTI-6. 120 kW. Engine mounts: We have bought the Pug1Off group N engine mounts Gearbox: Gearbox BE3 coming from a Xsara VTS. Diff: We have bought this Quaife ATB diff QDF3H de Quaife ATB Clutch kit: The 215mm standard of the Mi16 / BX16. Clutch kit for the 20TA55 box (BE3 / 5 of the Xsara VTS). A street 215mm will be searched, unless someone recommends otherwise. An example here Flywheel: : 215 mm with OEM ref: 0532F2 coming from these car models: Xsara VTS, 306 2.0G (engine RFXXU10J2), 406 Coupe (S1/S2) 2.0 (132 Cv) (engine RFVXU10J4R), 405 2.0 (engine RFXXU10J2). Engine cradle: Engine cradle coming from a 205 GTi. Rear axle: Rear axle coming from a 309 with brakes & suspensión arms from a Xsara VTS. (I'll continue ASAP) Thank you very much, Best regards.

Hi all. Does anyone have a revuild guide for the xu10j4rs please ?

Hi guys! I'm from Brazil(yeah, I know hahaha) and I wish show you my project, my dream and my hell hahahaha This is a Peugeot 306 Rallye(brazilian version) XU7JP4 1.8 16v, but two years ago I did a swap engine to XU10J4RS. I did a strong engine work, although not the first idea, and it was very good, after all. Specs: - Cylinder head: intense work in flow and rate. Valves custom made. Camshafts CatCams for race track 4903273 and mechanical tappets; - Cylinder block: forged pistons Iapel and conrods; - Admission: Admission inlet custom made, throttle bodies of Srad 750 and "tunnel ram" home made; - Exhaust: manifold is original yet(I want the BTCC) and tube is 2,5" with Magnaflow in the end; - Injection: the original ECU still there but I use Fueltech FT400 for injection control, AEM wideband gauge, oil pression gauge; - Suspension: I need a better setup, urgent hahaha just H&R springs; - Brakes: setup of Citroen C4 - 283mm; - Tires: Yokohama Advan Neova and Cyclone wheels; - And other many little things; A lot of things I make in home hahaha Well, pics: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Results: bold line is the old setup: ​ Me and my toys, 306 and 205 swap for TU5JP4 homemade. ​ Thanks!

I was under my car a moment ago sorting my speedo cable and checking over the various new bits I'd fitted to check they were ok and I've noticed some oil wetness which has come back rather quickly. I had residue around my drivers side outer cv boot and water pipe area and presumed it was possibly CV grease and grime so I changed the bits and decided to as now, check on it. I didn't initially clean the area up which I probably should have done but my shaft is soon wet again so the leak must be fairly substantial: Below the crank pulley is moist but not as much as half way up the engine so I wouldn't say it's that I initially thought cam carriers or covers but they appear ok. Painting it black perhaps wasnt a great idea after all but it is dry around there although a picture doesn't really show a lot. I will remove the cam cover over the weekend and shine a light in there to see if I can see a route of the cause. What would people initially suggest may be the cause? I'm hoping it's not something like cam seals - which it could well be? Not really read much about that to be overly common but who knows. Flicking up from behind the crank pulley perhaps?

Hi all, we came to putting the cambelt on my engine and on removal we noticed that the cover had chaff marks from the belt, Now with a new belt, when being turned by hand, the belt seems to want to ride off of the bottom pulley. Are there any usual suspects? It has a new water pump, tensioner and idler.
