2.0 litre

[Robbo]

rite im wanting to put a 2 litre engine in me saxo but ive got no idea what type to put in... for example an astra engine fits beutifully in a corsa but what is the best one to put in a saxo???

[dsh85]

none will fit im afriad mate! 1.6 is the biggest you can fit i think. unless of course it goes in the back

[Robbo]

yeh thats what i was planning on puttin it in the boot........... any ideas?
cheers

pug 306 gti-6 engine has been done, but imo not worth all the hassle for 167bhp@fly. transplant a vts engine and 'charge it for a quick car whilst keeping the saxo's good handling.

[Robbo]

i will look into it smileys/smiley2.gif cheers mate

[dsh85]

[Scott]

if your putting it on the back dont dick about with a 2 litre

[Robbo]

what do you meen dick about? u meen get it done professionally????

[peebee]

I know someone whos put a 1.8 20v T engine from a mk4 golf gti in a lupo, if that can be done, uve gotta be able to do it to a saxo!

[Scott]

no i mean if your going to have an engine in the back then dont waste it with just a two litre go for something that warrants that much work.

[peebee]

Lol really take the piss, one 20V T in the front and another in the back! OK, its been done loads of times, but thats in the dub scene, this SAXO!!! smileys/smiley2.gif

Hey mate nice to see another north east member. Where abouts in middlesbrough you from?

[gafvts]

pug performance do alot of the 2 litre conversions,so if you really want to do it give them a ring

[peebee]

or just drop in a Xzara VTS engine! 2.0 at 170bhp!

[Sean]

or just drop in a Xzara VTS engine! 2.0 at 170bhp!

'drop it in'?!? it's more or less the same engine as the pug 306 anyway, and if it was that simple everone would be doing it. smileys/smiley17.gif

[vts165]

some french bloke put a pug 806 2ltr turbo lump in a saxo!!
in the front!!!

someone hosted a video of it on here a while ago!!!

[Sean]

you got a link for that? smileys/smiley2.gif
even if you could get it in, it would handle like a bag of mouldy shite due to weight of the engine, as anyone who's ever driven a C20LET-converted nova/corsa will tell you smileys/smiley4.gif

[gafvts]

i dont remember seeing that video,i bet thats someting special,i need to see it smileys/smiley17.gif

[Robbo]

agree with the handling had a c20let out once was some scary shit putting it round corners when i was used to saxo go kart handling

there are lads round here who have got 2ltr novas that handle but i still prefer the way my saxo goes round corners

[vts165]

it was alittle while ago!!

its standard apart from the engine!!

it was a vtr, its like the gunmetal grey colour!!!
