I'm thinking of adding an intercooler to a xsara 90 HDI. Can anyone give me
instruction/diagrams/pictures of how to do this, or even take pics of the
110 bhp engin and post them here?
Many thanks

while I admire your jfdi attitude I suspect this would not be an entirely
simple thing to do.
I imagine a good place to start would be the 110 i/c, hoses, mountings,
sensors (?) and all clips etc etc
I imagine the 110 would have a different turbo tune to the 90 - perahps even
a different turbo frame ? dunno - ask an expert on here! or check the part
nos at your friendly local main dealer ...
Also I dont know what the ECU would do - I'm sure the calibration will be
different for the 110 due to i/c etc. And if you do have any new sensors,
check you've got somewhere to plug 'em into ...
Best of luck though and let me know how you get on as I have a 90hp Xantia
that could do with a bit more go!

I suspect a good place to start would be to put a "For Sale" sign the 90
and look for a 110.
I mean, it's not as if a diseasel Xsara is exactly a rare beast...
Even if it IS relatively easy to change over, it would need to be reported
to the insurance as a modified car.

It would be easier to just add a tuning chip, for a couple of hunderd
pounds, and get 115BHP.
Just do a search for "hdi tuning" on Ebay.

I have the chip. I have an intercooler from another hdi engine and it just
seems like a waste not to fit it...
+ it just seems like a good pastime...

Xantia ?
