Peugeot 605 16v Turbo

Well Mike is this car terrorizing the streets of Bulgaria yet?

[tabakoff]

Not yet. :-( I am out of money one again. I have my dashboard prepared with the new Stewart Warner gauges, looks perfect, awesome.

I ordered new 11" SPAL fans with high flow under static pressure. They should arrive somewhere in the middle of April because are new series and are not available yet in the USA. :-( I wanted to order them directly from Italy, but the price was higher with more than $150 and with this lack of money there is no need to hurry for the fans since I have to remake my exhaust manifold ....

... I got tired with this manifold. The guy that made the first one had taken wrong dimensions and it touches the thermo insulation of the engine bay. Now we are manufacturing new one where the turbo will be arranged besides the engine block and right above the gear box bars.

I desperately hope that I will have about $3000 in a couple of weeks from another project and belive the car will be on the road at the end ot May.... I keep my fingers crossed.

Thank you guys for you interest in my project. I couldn't have ever belive that my project could have met such interest in this forum. Thank you for that!!!

May I ask the administrators to split my project from this theme and move it to a proper forum if possible? Just in order not to mess with the main subject of the theme.

Thank you again, I will keep you informed what's going on when I have some funds.

Best wishes to all of you, God bless you and your Stangs.

What would you like the title of the new thread to be?

Maybe "Peugeot 605 16v Turbo" will be best.

Hi again!!!

I was facing some major problems with my exhaust manifold. First manifold was too close to the engine bay and the guy who made it said it was not his fault and refused to remade it .....

Never mind ... I ordered yesterday one stainless steel manifold from DP-Engineering from the Netherlands .... these guys rock!!!!!!!

I managed to find -45mm springs from an UK dealer of SPAXX .... I hope these springs will do their job.

Last week I received my front shock absorbers by KONI - Red Special. The same type rear absorbers work great on my pug 605.

On Monday I will have my dashboard remade with the new Stewat-Warner gauges and will post some pictures.

My project goes slowly, but the money problem in Bulgaria takes part in my project too ...

Have fuel prices gone way up over there also?

[tabakoff]

Yes ... unfortunately ....

A-95 is $2.00 USD per litter .... This is toooooooooooooooooooooooooo much !!!
