agreed

the handling will be crap aswell mate as its a bigger and heavier engine. think it through before you do it

3rd September 2007, 20:37

i can't really see the point in putting a gti 6 engine in. with all the work involved and minimal power gains over a lightly tuned vts lump. if you want a 2.0l something like a vaux red top would fit better.

3rd September 2007, 20:41

ir a newer PSA engine like bic is going to use.

3rd September 2007, 20:42

dont do it! put the mony into a valver engine, just ask ricky p lol

3rd September 2007, 20:48

as said it can be done but there is alot involved including cutting some of the strenthning plates to fit the gearbox in which when fitted also sticks out into the front lower arch a bit, plus its costly so better off dropping a vts lump in & then camming it. as for steering issues the pas will work but when you put a gti-6 engine and gearbox in then the turning circle of the saxo is crap as the front wheel hits against the gearbox end

irc a few ppl have welded locks onto the racks. OR in some cases used different boxes, its the 6 speed box that causes most of the problems.

yeah i have seen them put a lock stop with a rubber end to limit the rack hitting it before to

I've always thought that if you are going to go to the trouble of fitting a different engine into the front of a 106/saxo then think outside the box and fit better one than the PSA offerings.

This upsets the purists but makes better sense if you are trying to build a superior car than citroen did.

haha! indeed, although the metal head gasget lotus fit to the K series in the S1 elise made it a bit better.

hmmmm just do a project car for the company.

3rd September 2007, 21:55

the gti6 engine is spot on actually, can be fitted relatively easily if you know someone who can machine parts and have a good engineering background etc. it definitely doesn't fuck up the handling and if the 5 speed BE is used then the chassis legs are ok and full lock remains.

I wanted to do a Saxo but I'm not allowed
