inferno 1 Posted May 28, 2006 ive just looked at my 406 and realised the brake servo is on the right now im thinking if i could do something similar on my 309 ill have plenty of room for the turbo pipes! has any1 done anything similar? DOH... i dont know how to resize pics... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorkdave 1 Posted May 28, 2006 i saw a 205 today at the french car show with a 206 gti180 engine in it and he had put the brake servo on the passenger side, i think he had used the linkage and servo off a 106 or other larger modern pug. I can't be sure what parts he had used but I know he was from somewhere near derby, as he lives near Shenpar who had done him a bike carb conversion kit.

inferno 1 Posted May 28, 2006 off to strip a 106 i think then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted May 28, 2006 muhahahaha! im going to do away with the brake servo altogether!who needs it?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TEKNOPUG 3 Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) Bad idea - both moving the brake servo to the other side and doing away with it altogther. Just buy a proper manifold for FFS! Edited May 28, 2006 by TEKNOPUG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted May 28, 2006 Bad idea - both moving the brake servo to the other side and doing away with it altogther. Just buy a proper manifold for FFS! stop following me unless a tt manifold and t28 is going on yr credit card and being delivered to me! why is doing away with the servo a bad idea? i think its an ace idea... look at all the extra space ill have! and no more pug fading braking!

Rippthrough 98 Posted May 28, 2006 Moving it will give a lot of nasty flex in the pedal. If you're going to remove it you need a hi spec brake setup with as little flex in the entire system as possible, so you can run a small M/C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) what ... something as high tec as a xantia? or bx16v? well im thinking along those lines... powered brakes as apposed to air assisted... just an idea... i have a choice of abt 15 cars for parts wld a 205 desel M/c be adequate?

205turbo 32 2 Cars Posted May 28, 2006 (edited) the 180 engined 205 use a mondeo brake master cylinder with a shortained bar, cost him £20 if he told me correctly Edited May 28, 2006 by 205turbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you need a T28???? A T25 will work just fine. As a previously said, the Xu10 was never designed for a 309, hence your problem. That 180 still has a servo so I can't really see how that solves your problem. Having a servo on the opposite side to the pedal can't be a good a idea. I think that you're just ending up bodging around the fundamental problem which is the exhaust manifold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom_m 0 Posted May 29, 2006 the linkage takes up space that the turbo is going to need! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted May 29, 2006 my t25 has that s*ite flange, so would be rendered useless on a TT manifold. also, as those link bars to relocat the brake servo r in several modern cars, surely they cant flex much at all?? and the link bar will not interfere with the turbo as itll be too close to the bulkhead to hit it.im a welder fabricator by trade, and work as a citroen specialist, so whatever i do i assure u it wont be bodged just because i dont use a tt manifold!"!!

d-9 0 Posted May 29, 2006 dont the standard XU10 manifolds flow really badly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) i think my turbos too big... thats the problem! as for the manifolds flowing badly, who cares, my zx was a 139 bhp RGY that was eating mi16 205s and vr6 golfs amongst other moters (on its good days), so im not that fussed as the 309 is lighter and handles better.

d-9 0 Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) lol you should get a 106 engine mate, 140bhp and eats everythign ive bothered to race, and it does 40mpg and fits Edited May 29, 2006 by d-9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted May 29, 2006 lol you should get a 106 engine mate, 140bhp and eats everythign ive bothered to race, and it does 40mpg and fits would this engine be in the... 309 "GR" 1.9 16v - In the bin that got replaced with... 309 GTI auto - Mi16 fitted...will finish one day which didnt work, or is it in... 106 XSI - So how do i map this thing then.... thats really only 10bhp because you forgot to plug the ecu in first?!

jackherer 543 Posted May 31, 2006 as for the manifolds flowing badly, who cares, my zx was a 139 bhp RGY that was eating mi16 205s sort it out wasn't eating ANY of the Mi16 205s I've taken you out in lol cant believe how many times I've had to point out to you that zxs weigh 1200kg or so, more than a bx ffs.
