Hello guys, after some long time back here :-) after building the Horizon 2,2 Turbo II - the Shelby's GLH clone, reached 330 PS and 415 Nm, I'm starting the next project - the Super Tagora. Yesterday I brought the carrosserie of Talbot Tagora 2,6 SX. The engine train is still there, but original 2 tripple Webers and all parts arround inlet and airbox are missing. But I don't mind, because I want to place there the V6 Turbo, or better bi-turbo. Our family house is finnished, all other cars are sold, so no time/money/wife problems :-) (the Tagora is exactly the same like Peugeot 505 - chassis and axles) At this moment I'm sorting out what to use as the base. Few years ago I had the P505 2,2 Turbo 180PS and also Tagora 2,2 where the engines are nearly the same, but Turbo had some specific parts to be able to stand the boost pressures. So my first question is: Which modifications are present inside the PRV turbo engine in comparison to non turbo PRV engine? Second thing is the source for the PRV engine, I know about Renault 25 V6 Turbo which is easy to buy here in Europe, but it is 2,5 with cca 205 PS, does anybody have some experiences with placing this engine into Peugeot 505? Because I can make the silentblocs, but I heard that the bottom of the engine is completely different, is that true? Does someone tried to modify the later version of PRV - 2849 ccm to turbo version? Than there are the latest version of PRV engines, the 3,0 24v which are the most available, but I really don't think that will have the same connection points to screw it to the 505 gearbox, or am I wrong? Thanks in advance to all who will reply! Best regards, Michal
