   it'll fit in a saxo - you'll need a welder, a lot of time and ££££££ - spend your money elsewhere.

   Listen to the advice man
   
   Lots of problems will occour, Will deffo need custom:
   
   -Mounts
   -Driveshafts
   -Cooling setup
   -Wiring looms
   -Exhaust manifold
   
   Will probs be easier to go standalone rather than chopping the existing ecu in too.
   
   If your asking how easy will it be, then dont think you should be attempting it tbh

   ^^^^ if after searching on here you still need to ask if it can be done I'd put the idea to bed.
   
   Otherwise give it a go, get a progress thread up and silence me.
   
   Just because you can get the engine cheap doesn't mean it's the best option. Sorry to shoot you down but it's easy to dream.

   I thought about this years ago when i started putting these engines into 205's etc but decided against it as too many problems to overcome e.g bulkhead would require major work,steering rack posistion poss needing changed, engine/gearbox width=poss chassis leg mods,engine weight and height etc etc etc the list goes on and for only tops 200 bhp without major engine mods, not worth it mate

   2.0 8v? As it the original 306 XSi engine? Were they not only 130bhp anway? Might as well turbo a VTS engine. Miles easier.
