Great project...!

I would remove the wheel trims and maybe put some wider black steel rims on, but apart from that just leave it as it is. Maybe get a matching passenger
racing seat just to finish it off.

I agree...supercharging would make it awesome, and would surprise even more people especially at a hillclimb event !

Absolutely fking awesome! Top work, chaps! It sounds nuts now, with a supercharger it’ll make people’s ears bleed!

I love this build. The Berlingo is THE perfect car to do this to as it's so naff, unassuming and almost always driven by retired pensioners. Top sleepering.

Love this thread. Years back a couple of pals went through a similar phase, with the worlds roughest mk3 escort van with an xr3i engine and more amusingly a montego van with a montego turbo engine.

Great memories, enjoy yours.

Marvellous stuff, good work gents.
It's a peach of an engine and in that, a proper sleeper!

Hi, I'm doing something like that. Just engine from Xsara VTS.
What was your berlingo engine? Mine had 1.6 petrol and now I'm having problems with engine mounts

Hi everyone,

Got some exciting updates... as promised, the Berlingo is now supercharged!

It's running a high boost setup with a rotrex supercharger and forged engine internals. We've also made many other changes across the car, too many to list really, but the main ones worth noting are adjustments to the suspension setup, 6-pot brakes, limited slip diff, paddle clutch, uprated gearbox and custom exhaust system.

We're now running ~ 400BHP with a kerb weight of 1020KG giving us around 392BHP/ton. It sure does shift!!!

Here are some pics... smile



Engine bay with supercharger conversion


Interior with lowered seats, lowered steering column, and gauge pods


2.5" stainless exhaust system with downward tip, sprayed matt black for maximum sleeper look


Matt black FMIC, engine oil & supercharger coolers hidden behind the bumper


Managed to squeeze the brakes under our C5 alloy wheels, complete with our tired looking wheel trims


Matt black exhaust, who would know?

Brilliant just brilliant.

Few questions

With air bags removed and mechanisms for sliding doors how does it pass an MOT ?

Also are you going to try and make dash look more standard so people can’t tell when looking in ?
