Hi
I’m chasing an engine builder/tuner for my Citroen DS3 project. If anyone has any suggestions for a shop in or around Brisbane that could help me out, and that isn’t afraid of a project which is a little different, would be awesome.
Unfortunately there is not a lot of love for these cars in the local tuning scene here in Aus, so finding a performance shop to give me a hand on my project has been difficult. Most people have no clue what a Citroen DS3 is. They all say it’s pretty and to buy a faster car…
So far I’ve been turned away from 7 shops. I know the DS3 shares the same N14 EP6 engine as the mini, however I have a 2015 165THP model running the 5GZ euro6 variant and Citroen/Peugeot fixed a lot of issues with timing issues etc. when they re released… but I digress.
Any way, I’ve been sourcing parts for a while now through Pug1Off in the Uk, a Citroen/Peugeot tuner who has everything and anything for these cars as they are quite popular over there. I’m almost ready to start the build. So far I have:
- Wossner forged pistons and PEC rods
- Scorpion downpipe
- Walkinshaw 2.5in cat back exhaust (limited product run back in 2016)
- Quaife LSD
- Pug1off large front Intercooler
- Oil cooler
- Custom K04 turbo by Turbo Technics
- Custom intake piping for higher flow
- Helix Motorsport organic heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel
- short shifter
- GFB diverter valve
- ARP head bolts, rod bolts
- All bearings, gaskets etc.
Any help to find an engine builder/tuner would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Tim
