Hey ho

So, sneaking in with a citroen zx here, long time lurker ..etc





Running a K14 @ 22 PSI on bosch pump and fmic.

Got a T25 in the post, so hoping to sort that in the near future.

Also had both a very minor rear and front ender since pic - so got spare bumpers on at the min and awaiting some bodyshop action to get it perfect again.

Anyone recognise it? I've had it just over a year, but previous owner had shown it a heck of a lot of love.

Welcome

looks bloody good! very clean but dont recognise it

James has had competition for a while haha.

Looks good mate.

I do recognise that actually, any idea what the guy's username was? Welcome btw.

EDIT: I recognise you from TDOC lol.

Nice mate. Car looks beaut. Welcome along pal

cooooie! yes so many boards, but no decent zx board - maybe i could start one and all 3 of us could sit around while the tumble weeds roll past.

T25 turned up this morning , will have to find some time to sellotape it on

Where'd you get your FMIC mate?

Maybe.

silverzx Wrote:Maybe.

best thing about that fmic (apart from the awesome price and near instant delivery) was the pre cut pipe and lack of thinking when it came to routing - although will be changing around at some point when i get the new turbo and xantia manifold on. Bending the rad doesn't seem right

Holds boost ok though right?

Your welcome! :mrgreen:

looks good. Retro French seems to be making a comeback! I think the morettes look much better :-)

Haha, sounds like a plan chap. Will struggle to find more than three me thinks, not everyone can be this cool.

Hello welcome to the forum.

Your welcome! :mrgreen:

ended up buying new mikalor hose clamps and double clamping everything as had a bit of boost leak couldn't track down. Hairspray ftw, nothing popping!

Sorry to hear that, I've just bought a similar kit again (with chocolate clamps) so maybe I should pre-empt the problem and buy some decent clamps as well..

Can't complain for the price though right.

I have a real soft spot for these and I have no idea why

Looking good should go better with a T25 attached!

Of course not, I was going round in circles trying to locate it and just went belt n braces.

Tried fashioning a leak test kit out of a foot pump and stickyback plastic but it was rubbish and i couldn't pressurise the system.

Understandable, they're awesome

at the home brew pressure testing kit, you didn't use duct tape and cable ties, that's where you went wrong..............

You may have a point there, its not as nice as James' 16V though, they are just porn, he needs to put his XUD engine into that but he won't, can't think why!

Make that 4 of us now mate.
Read with interest what your doing to the ZX, in the process of doing the same to mine down here in New Zealand. Its a real help to see pictures of things done.
Mines a dark green 94 5door Volcane, Had a 3door about 15yrs ago back in the UK but will never see one down here.
Just found a fabricated inlet manifold for the FMI though from some guy that stuck a ZX engine in a rwd camper van.
Just doing the head gasket on mine first as bought broke to play with.

Is the T25 a straight bolt on swap and is there massive improvements with this setup over factory turbo

Cool 4 of us, with enough time and determination I reckon there could be 10 of us one day ;0)

I've got project threads for both my ZXs up
