   been asked a few times now, basically the outcome was not to bother, much hassle etc, would be better just to get a VTS engine or 106 GTi engine.

   some people seem to think the 2l xsara engine will fit, but as baz says the general thinking is it won't. well not without a hell of a lot of work & probably not worth the arse-ache of trying to get it in.
   
   stick a vts lump in!

   if your going to fuck around with engines in the boot, you may as well just buy a good car from factory if you have that much dosh....imo

   ^^ exactly. if you want a fast car whilst retaining the good handling of the saxo then fit a boosted vts engine, you'd get more for your money and it probably wouldn't cost an awful lot more than the hassle of fitting the xsara engine (custom mounts, shafts, wiring, exhaust).

    as people have said, the best thing to do is to but a saxo vts engine in! a xsara vts engine is heavy, so ruins the handling and only has 167 brake which you can get out of a saxo vts lump without forced induction, but do that, you can look at around 200 brake at the wheels! :Y:
    
    cool? ... i think so

    Xsara 2.0 will fit in the front as I have heard of one in an AX, but be prepared to cut half of the car away!
