Turbo replacement

[Stef]

The only difference I can see is the solid plastic part from the turbo outlet to the intercooler inlet................

THP150



DS3R

I think that might be the later one Stef as Dave has had a new engine less than 2 weeks ago. Going to be replaced with http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...roduct=FMHP207 soon anyway

Have had a look at those, be interested if you feel they make much difference, let me know how you get on.

Will do, apparently they sharpen throttle response. If you look at the boost side of the turbo, just after the rubber pipe where it connects to the plastic boost pipe, there is a BIG stepdown. That will cause heat and disruption to the airflow, and the alloy pipes don't have this big size change.

Thats a mighty fine looking engine bay!

It Looks The Same As A THP Except The Rocker Cover ???

Can someone provide me with a part number for the turbo on a HDI 110 DSport+ '12 plate

Thanks!

And about the Steering and ESP.
If you want to, you can adapt every DS3 with the same values as the DS3R with Lexia III
So when you know the settings from the “R” you can also do this with your THP

Do you know any garages that can do this?

Any Citroen/Peugeot/BMW Garage.

Sorry to bump this so soon, but I really need this info!

Please can someone provide me with a part number for the turbo on a HDI 110 DSport+ '12 plate

Thanks!

Part number for a DS3 Dsport+ HDI 110 is 375P7 by all accounts! Can anyone confirm this for me?

Also has anyone got any idea why this company won't touch our cars? Did a search on google and found nothing in particular stating about design faults as such.

I am sorry, but due to the design faults on the 1.6 PSA HDI 110, we do not offer a hybrid turbo option.

[ZACK]

LOL So There's Not A Desing Fault On The 90HDi Then ?

What Company Is That ?

[Stonesy]

It's Turbo-Technics that I contacted re. the Hybrid upgrade.

To be fair I am led to believe what he's saying, why else would you turn away £1k worth of work?

The 1.6 PSA is notorious for problems with the oil feed clogging due to
the design of the engine. When engine oil service exceeds 5,000 miles,
the oil tends to start to sludge on the surface. This is where the oil
pickup is located, and therefor the oil feed line can clog, thusly
starving the turbo. If you do a Google search on 1.6 PSA turbo faults,
you will find a plethora of information regarding the problems with this
engine. Keep in mind that this engine is used by 6 different
manufactures, and they all see the same problems.

Ah Well,

I'm Happy With My Hybrid

Do You Think He's Referring To The THP ?

[Stonesy]

This is from a different company -

Hi *****,

Good news and bad news then. 375P7 is a good part number, however this isn’t a turbo that we can do a hybrid on. (It’s one we’ve done previously and had pretty disappointing results).

Sorry, but we’re not going to be very helpful on this occasion.

Kind Regards

Hi ****,



The beauty of the hybrid turbos is that they are a direct fit fo the car (all changes are internal). There’s definitely the option to fit a different turbo, but you won’t get on that is a direct replacement. Best case is that you’ll have to do some work to the downpipe only, worst case you’ll have to change the manifold too (really expensive). If you’re willing to go down this route though, the options are literally unlimited!



What are you hoping to achieve from the car?



Kind Regards

The problem we’ve had in the past (with this engine/turbo combination) is that the engine over a period of time stops passing oil through the turbo (You’ve really got to keep up with the servicing on these). What you’ll see over a period of time is that the turbo will fail due to this oil failure through no fault of its own, this led to many warranty claims, and though we weren’t liable, it still leads to difficult situations which we want to avoid.



I think you will find someone willing to do a hybrid turbo on this car (It’s the best option for the figures you’re after) but it’s not us I’m afraid.



I’m sorry that I can’t be more helpful with this.

Just emailed Burbage Motorsport to see if they can do anything - not looking good really With regards to the oil issues etc, providing I do an oil & filter change every 5k I can't see there being any issues really...

[Stonesy]

I've just had another company that's saying they'll need to do a DPF removal prior to installing a turbo; is this correct?

Realistically I want to do the easier mods, that can be removed prior to servicing.
