Citroen Xantia Activa engine swap - back to original!

Here is a short clip of my Dad and me engine swapping my 1997 Xantia Activa. Originally equipped with the gorgeous ES9J4 3.0 V6 24v this car had it's engine removed due to finantial reasons back in 2010. Now she's back with her ORIGINAL motor!

You have breathe life back into him all over again. A sleeping giant has awakened. Hear him roar....... now if only I could get mine to work as good as yours. Still not getting rid of him though.

La Citroën Xantia, magnifique berline routière !!! J'ai tjrs pensé sur le V6 et si on y ajoutait un bi turbo comme sur la HDi 3L, qu'elle puissance elle aurait ?

[@MiletaStijovic_ActivaV6]

I don't know about twin turbos but I have seen people putting a single turbo kit on this engine and pushing some amazing power. From what I have read:
With a stock engine, stock internals the safe horsepower target is around 320-330hp, even 350hp with methanol injection. But with forged parts they can go to 500+ hp. Then it's the transmission that gives up as the gears just get destroyed because of all the torque.
Fun fact, the Nissan 300ZX uses the same bore as the ES9J4 and it has forged pistons from factory, they fit in this engine!

Who had the idea to put a diesel engine instead of this great V6 !?

[@MiletaStijovic_ActivaV6]
