not unless you have some ££££££ or are a very good fabricator/electrical engineer

For the cost it's really not worth it.

Speak to Pug1off. They would do the conversion. Looking a couple of grand i'd say. Would prob. be the same amount as a decent throttle body conversion.

The thing is its not a very good engine. The GTi-6 engine is the same size and you will see 30 odd bhp more power without a cat...

it would be a right pig to fit as the mounts are diffrent and the loom is different aswell

You'd be better off spending the money and fixing the 206 matey.

i was thinking that but i thought i would be differant, never heard of it beeing done before, plus would get hung by the insurance

Yeah the insurance on a 180 is huge! Just split it buddy.

see i wonder about these things, the nova and corsa boys can shoehorn xe's and let's in why cant we put mental engines in easier? they all started out with custom mounts and now its so commonplace you can buy fitting kits off the shelf
