I have an alloy sump of the 2.1TD engine and wanted to use it on my block, but it doesn't fit over the oilpump. I thought the 2.1TD and the TCT used the same oilpump, but that obviously isn't the case. As I didn't want to clean a metal sump, I decided to put the head on.

My 1mm skimmed head.

Lot's of assembly lube to bed the DKZ camshaft in.

I only put the belt on, so I can rotate the engine.

I would like to dial the DKZ cam in per exact specs, but unfortunately I haven't come across them...

Compared the 2.1TD and TCT oilpump and there is quite an obvious difference. After switching the alu sump went on fine.

I also had to modify the (non airco) steeringpump bracket and the sump the bit to keep the lighter engine mounting setup and the simple multibelt tensioning system.

Temporarily mounted the manifold and dummy turbo, to make some brackets oil and water lines.

Crap, after 280.000+km cilinder three only has 5 bars of compression.
After searching for a temporary ZX and finding nothing to my liking, I have opted to buy something a bit more comfortable:

Unfortunately not. It had to be something that has low ownerships cost and runs as economical as possible.

Theres certainly lots of love going into that engine , very comfy car the Bx , is it a diesel one by any chance . I've had a few Bx16v's , a quick car but they can't touch the Zx16v for handling :twisted:

No, it's a 1.4i Deauville. It has a steering wheel, brakes and that's it :)

Finally the temperatures are getting higher, so time to tinker with 16V.
Only managed to get the bonnet off, as I had to reorganize the garage, but now there is at least space to get the engine out.

Today I removed the head. The lack of compression at cilinder three had no other reason than simpy wear as can be expected with an 280.000km + engine.
Image

With the head off I could then fit a dummy head and trial fit my turbo setup...
Image

It looks pretty bulky, but if it fitted in a 205 it should surely fit in an ZX right?
Image

Let's take a closer look:

Fuck :evil: It isn't even close to fitting. How the hell can a 205 have more drivebay room than a significant larger ZX confused

Well if a 3.0 V6 fits , you would think the 2.0 8v Tct would be no problem .

205 is certainly not bigger, but it is a different shape.

I don't know what I want to do with the ZX 16V, either build my own turbo manifold and continue the turbo build or just put an RFS in it and drive it around.

I was a bit tired of the BX, too long, too slow, too big of a turning circle, no powersteering so I bought a Saxo 1.6 8V VTR.

For the MOT I needed to replace the steeringhouse gaitor, easy fix and I needed to fix the cat/mid muffler connection. Since the flange was pretty much gone, I just welded the two pieces together. Still leaking off course, I did not notice the downpip flange was pretty fucked too :annoyed:
Bought myself a Raceland 4-2-1 manifold for less than a new downpipe would cost me and I will have the added bonus that the engine will look as if it has more hp!
