Peugeot 505 Turbo Project

5 minute(s) of a 65 minute read

The past weekend it was great weather and i spend some time working with my 505.

Checked if the previous summer rust repair have been worth all the effort and have survive the Swedish winter. I also removed the front spoiler and gonna start with some rust repair. 

My father did also do some work with his 505. He replaced the water pump due a leakage and replaced the Bosh BOV and replaced it with a open BOV. We did a test run with it and it sounded nice (I filmed the test run, but the quality is poor. Maybe I will upload it later)

Updates

Have done some rust repair on my car; grinding, sand blasting and painting. I want to complete the rust repair asap so I can start to do the fun part, building the exterior and finish the engine building. But it's gonna take some time to complete the rust repair stage.

But my father have done a lot of work on his 505; front mounted intercooler (from SAAB) and open air filter. The plan is using his car as a test platform before we starting doing modification for my car.

Bean: Thanks! We are not planing to open up the bumber at the moment. The next plans with my father 505 is to replace the two last stock muffler on the exhaust pipe with just one muffler, gona replace it with a aftermarket muffler. Just as a test if we can increase the exhaust flow and gain some preformance.

We have test driven the car and it works exellent, mabey a slight diffrent in the spoolup and the boost have increase a bit. The acceleration is fantastic

In two days my vacation starts and I got 5 weeks of vacation and the plan is to to as much work possible on my project car. 

Most of the work I gona do is to get work on the exterior, rust fixing and painting. To get the exterior in good shape. 

I can reveal that i have purchased sideskirts from a BMW E36 and we have done some test fitting and it looks good. We have also order stock paint so we can paint the sideskirts. We have plans for another color for the car but stock will do for now, need to save up some money for a total new paint and the paint jobb. 

One other thing that I have start working with, what it is I don't gona reveal now, but I can say it involves plastic and hard work. I will upload pictures if the final product comes out good...

Good guesses guys! Bean is closest to the right answer

But I don't want to reveal anything for now, as I said in previous post I will upload picture if the final product comes out good. Want it perfect if I can. 

The length of the skirt is perfect, don't need to to any modification on the length. But some modification have to be done to not make the skirt stand out to much from the car. I will upload pictures when we have mounted them on the car. 

For like 2 years ago I helped a friend to mount a front spoiler on his BMW E36, then I measured the length of the skirts and is exact same length on the 505. 

I have a small movie clip when we test driving my fathers 505, but that movie is when we have just mounted the BOV. See if we can do another test run now when we have mounted the front mounted intercooler. 

My fathers 505 project gona be on hold for now, we gona work with my 505 now. Have to finnish the exterior this summer and maybe start with the engine. We have to send the crankshaft for grindning and get it balanced. But need the clutch before we send it away; I have email some retailers in sweden and ask for aftermakret clutches to the pegeuot 505. But most retailers dosen't sell them. But stylingkompaniet.com told me that they have Sachs preformance clutches, and they have a clutch for the 505. Have to email them back and ask for more specification. 

Have anyone test the SPEC clutches for the 505? My friend have tried one SPEC clutch for his Nissan 200sx and it diden't work well, the stock was better. 034motorsport.com sells SPEC clutches, mabey I will order clutch from them. 

Thanks for all the comments, keeps us motivated!
