He's a top bloke that Dave Sims and his experience is going to be invaluble to me over the next few months whie i get the BX valver Compound working,For anyone wanting to just simply supercharge a BX I'm sure dave still has a very nice Opcon supercharger adapted for the XU9J4 for sale. Dave wash you...

hey thanks for the info mate,trouble is Im sorted i'm just going to have to suffer with BM bloody W valves, Im sure I'll get over it.Besides The Royal mail can't even get parcels around the uk, so my chances range from Zip to feck all of anything getting here from Oz before next christams.

haha I wouldn't really mind if it was VW/Audi or the 3 pointed star.I just Can't stand beemers and the idiots that drive them.I used to have a pile of little BMW stickers in the glove box of my Renault 21 turbine and i used to hang it off the back bumpers of beemers in the outside lane after they ha...

yeah so do i mate but at £1500 bangers it better be worth it.I'm even going to admit it uses BMW!!!!! valves.........pppppppfffffttttttttt

well it did cross my mind to do both.i consulted my local gearbox specialist about swapping the bellhousings and the man didnt seem keen,says it was a lot of work....Im not a gearbox man??? I remember you talking about moving the accumulator but didnt fancy it to be honest.In my expeirence you stick...

Bit of an update if anyones still intrested.Ive been thinking long and hard about the Rotrex conversion and doing a lot of research.Ive decided that the best way to factor in maximum performance and reliability is to get the Comp ratio to 9:5:1. I think ive managed to work this out by fitting DFW pi...

just an update on this mod dudes. This is a problem ive come accross doing the swap.They isnt any provision on the 306 gearbox for attaching the accumulator sphere or the brackets which support the bellhousing lower cover and pipe brakets.Anyway after much thinking and weilding of my grindng and the...

Yeah thats it Compound charging.I know a guy from weston-super-mare thats done it on a MI16 engine and he claims it worked. I've bought the turbo setup off him but not the supercharger as ive already got the Rotrex.He says it took him 10 years to get it all to work properly,He seems like quite a hel...

Anybody Know the ins and outs ad pros and cons of running turbos and superchargers together

Looks like ive bagged a Audi Quattro KKK turbo set up on a Mi16 manifold.

If you were going to do that the only way you can do it is too machine a bowl onto the piston crown.However The easiest way round it is to fit a de-compression plate which is 2 head gaskets with a laser cut stainless steel plate in between,has the same affect as fitting low comp pistons. Imagine a s...

Does anyone know whats up on the 205 drivers forum?
tryed to join up and it says they're not taking anymore new memebers....seems odd

Thanks for your help guys,although just machining a "bit" off the pistons isn't a great deal of help to me, seeing as though an XU9J4 MI16 internal combustion engine is a precision engineered Gem :? I have the technology to de-compress my engine just not 100% sure if I'm wasting my time do...

no mate they're definatly diffrent.

Citroen AX GT/sport
Citroen BX GTI/16v/sport
Citroen CX GTI
PUG 309 GTI
PUG 405 Mi16/XRDT

Hi Is anyone clever enough on here to work how much if any a XU9J4 with the stock compression of 10:4:1 should be de-compressed to run 8psi of centerfugal superharger boost. I want a simple answer like "yes to....... because...............or no because......... Ive asked every engine builder in...
