The boosted 205 rat - pictures and video added (25.09.16)

[ginge191]

Ok, some pictures to go along with the few updates


The bay got a lick of paint - mainly to stop the rust behind the headlights and along the chassis - no major rust, but a preventative never hurt.





The new lump - no turbo as it's being relocated










Matt came over to lend some force 




'Eat some chicken!' 







And within 30 minutes, she was in







And my intention was to not use a great amount from the 205 lump, but i I have for a number of reasons - weight, ease, compatibility, clearance.

Bit's i've removed from the XUD 7 which is now on the XUD 9:

- Sump - this is SO much lighter than the XUD9 sump, required little modifying
- Oil cooler and adapter - it doesn't show in the pics, but the filter you can see sits too far forward, the 205 oil cooler sits up like an 'erection' and allows the standard RAD and fans to be used
- Water hoses 
- Auxillary setup - XUD9 bracket had aircon, PAS and alternator. I'm just using the alternator so used the XUD7 pulley and belt with this
- Gearbox - again, for ease and time. It's so much easier to install than the other boxes as, 1) the release bearing is loose and isn't attached to the pressure plate making the gearbox removing/fitting a piece of piss. 2) the clutch cable remains the same, 3) My knowledge with clutches and cables isn't great so for me, this was a comfortable option.
- Exhaust manifold - the way the XUD7 manifold sits, it's much more flat, has no EGR and is a lot easier to work with in comparison.
- And the OEM fuel filter has been sacked off for a larger, 'TT' inline filter with 10mm hosing.
