I fancy putting a 2.0 16v engine in my 106 XSi.

the GTI 180 engines are actually only 166 bhp. you cant put wild cams in these as the pistons whack your valves. the 137 bhp GTI engine is alot easier and better to tune, as you can have wilder cam shafts to run bodies etc.... i hope this helps if you go down this route

Seen a GTi-6 engine in a S1 rallye iirc on rallye reg! The chap could weld so wasnt a problem!

I don't think so, from what i remember it uses standard pistons, just slightly longer duration and higher lift on the cams, it has catcams in it, with vvt adjusted to come in at lower rpm. Goes together with his cammed vts, and supercharged XSI LOL
Thinking about it in all seriousness, i was going to do it a few months back: Engine mounts - try to retain ecu side mount although it may need to move forwards, make new mount for top of gearbox, make new lower mount, possibly add front mount too. Manifold - Even a problem on 205s, solutions include tilting engine using longer lower mount(bad) or cutting bulkhead for clearance. 205 has no brake balance bar but has master cylinder in way, so bulkhead clearance up top should be ok! Can always modify scuttle. Wiring is simple. Cooling system is relatively simple. Gear linkage isn't too bad, remounting 306/xsara mech into a 106 shell won't be too complicated. Driveshafts, something can be made up either using different hubs or modified driveshafts. What else am i missing? |

on a serious note.
Massive respect to the company, that own/manufacture the 'Henry' brand of hoovers. Lets face it, they're complete and utter fucking shit as hoovers go. But they have a smiley face so it's a winner! |

A Xsara VTS engined saxo went past me and josh on the ring(josh driving his 170bhp tb'd saxo) like we were standing still, and it was an OE style installation using std ecu, 266mm brakes, standard track etc...

Tom, we should join forces
It's already been done several times, it can't be that hard! could maybe even get an MA box to fit it? Who knows! |

The only problem is, the shell i have is a mk2 gti.
I keep taking my dads gti6 out and everytime i go off into a little day dream about what a s/c'd xu lump would be like a in saxo. GOT TO BE DONE! |
