Going to need something that it is well up for the job with a large core I reckon dude  oh and made of aviation black box material for when you stuff it into a fence   |

The fans aren't going to be the problem, they are only there for sitting in traffic on hot days. A bigger rad will help, but getting 150+hp's worth of heat out of each cylinder, from a cylinder designed to cool 45hp's worth of heat won't be easy. If it was as straight forward as bolting on a big turbo, fitting a big intercooler and some low comp pistons to get 600hp, everyone would do it. Unfortunately, generating 600hp is easy, trying to make it run reliably for any length of time is the costly and time consuming part.________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

I just meant more engine revs I remember looking in the engine bay of Liam Doran's DS3 Rallycross car, and guess what's powering that 550 ish bhp beast? (that's a restricted 550...) An iron XU with a stock looking water pump, oh an a monster radiator I didn't spot anything out of the ordinary on the cooling system, though that's not to say there's not something in there to help, I reckon its time to speak to people who build these engines and unfortunately you don't tend to find them on forums. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

actually, trying to find more info on it, seems they run a few different engines, here's the lump from their other car they have several DS3's it seems, as I found one with a transverse and longitudinally mounted engine! ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Bit cool that is got a xu in it imo Fair enough about the water pump i was wondering if it could spin faster per rev More flow would help though I reckon, Plus bigger rad and some thought with air flow ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

So a nice big radiator is a matter of course really, it's just if it will cope or not.I don't actually know what figure it's going to be yet. But it's going to be more than 500bhp I imagine. Could I just take the thermostat out and let it run through, it would be constantly cooled then, I'm removing the matrix aswell. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

Removing the thermostat is a bad idea as it will make warmup take ages, big rad, big pump, big cutouts in the front and lots of ducted cold air to the inlet. Also get the turbo jacketed off with that foil/lagging stuff you see to stop it roasting everything within a 3 foot radius of it  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

You don't want to increase the speed of the coolant flow too much, too fast and it will prevent decent thermal transfer________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

I'll sort as much as I can with regards to fitting the engine 1st, then I will move onto the rad and get one made up.I picked up my clutch earlier today, can't really tell what kind of condition the plates are in, as I'm not to familiar with what is classed as "low" and I've not got any verniers to hand to measure what's left on the pads. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

I think the spark plugs will be worth pondering too, Dont know if you would need colder than highboost? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

My touring car runs a similar one but with only 4 friction plates per plate and probably not as heavy spring. Without wanting to sound negative, even mine is very much on or off, and they aren't designed to be slipped, and doing so f**ks them quickly, if you're planning on driving it on the road leave a big gap to the car in front of you! ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

It's ok pete, I don't expect everyone to agree with what I'm doing, but im all for constructive criticism, its all a big learning curve when stepping into new territory I suppose.I'm going to have a word with the clutch company and see what they say, it might be a case that I get a sprung centre. But I'm not sure as to exactley what I will be doing yet. ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |

It's not that I don't agree, I'm more than happy to see a 600hp dimma 306, in fact I wish I had the time and money to do something similar. Just sharing my experiences, thats all. Not many people will have ever used a twin plate clutch before, so just want to make you aware they aren't very friendly! ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Maybe should have worded that differently, it came across a bit harsh lolI've driven a 600bhp scooby with a twin plate hydralic clutch and it was surprisingly light and easy to use, but I'm not entirely sure on the plate setup it had, I imagine it was sprung loaded. I've not got much choice unfortunately, it would be nice to throw 1k at an all singing and dancing setup, but I'm on a strict no thrills budget now, I'm supposed to be saving for a house haha ________________________________________ Dimma + Gt35 turbo =Solid rear beam mounts £130 07889376885 Dan |
