c15 engine conversion
Hi, this has probably been covered before but... what parts would i need from a donor car to fit a d turbo engine into my c15? Im looking at an accident damaged 306 d turbo. Would that provide all of the parts? Would anything need modifying? Any help appreciated.

Re: c15 engine conversion
Now that is an interesting & obvious conversion, providing better performance, similar fuel consumption & retaining (or even restoring) ability to run on veggie.
I have seen one in Holland with an air intake in the bonnet corresponding to the position of the intercooler but, unfortunately not close or for long enough, to leaen anything.
Given that, in that department, th C15 is essentially Pug 205, a 306 would seem to be a suitable donor (was there a Pug that started off with a DW8 & later versions had the turbo d?) Ideally I'd like to have the whole car, so you could mix'n'match ancillaries, bracketry, cables, linkages, etc at will - failing that the complete engine/g'box, with as much still attached as poss. That way, it shouldn't involve a great deal more than a straightforward engine swap.
Good luck with that, I hope to follow progress right here.
