All,
I'm just in the throes of breaking a '95 Cit XM, and have the Turbo CT engine and box sat on the workshop floor looking like it needs a good home
- I'm sure one of you little hooligans could find a use for it...
It's based on the same motor as the standard PSA 2.0 lump (XU? TU? Whatever...), as used in virtually everything from the 80s and 90s - 306s,
406s, Xants, ZXs, Xsaras. PSA themselves dropped it into the Xant and 406, so it'll certainly fit smaller than the XM.
It's 120k miles, but runs sweet as a nut - fast, quiet (except for the exh manifold gasket, a common problem, and a bastard to fix in situ, but about a tenner with the engine out), smooth. The 5-spd manual box is good, if not quick.
As standard, it's 150bhp and 173lb/ft of torque, but the nice thing about this lump is the way the torque's developed - the boost is regulated to give an absolutely flat torque curve from about 2,000rpm to about 4,500 or more.
It's sat between High Wycombe and Aylesbury, and comes with the full engine loom, Bosch Motronic ECU and sensors - all the multiplugs have been disconnected not unplugged. All the major pipework's there, but for one or two smaller hoses and coolant hoses that were snipped (I'd like to have a word with the "production engineer" that specced those cheapo crimp clamps). The intercooler's still in the car - I was planning on leaving it, but could pull it before the car goes on Mon/Tue.
Anybody interested?
Drop me an email to adrian at achapman dot freeisp dot co dot uk if you are. I'm not looking for silly money for it.
Ta.
