Hey everyone right going to do a turbo converstion on me saxo just trying to see which way i want to do it either turbo the 1.6 or 2.0 turbo xantia engine.

Right does any one know the engine number on a xantia turbo. So i can find out all the info i need etc.

All info on the convo welcome basicly what i need to find out if the saxo gearbox will boly up to it and are the mount in the same place or on the turbo is the holes that can be threaded to match the saxo engine mounts

[shorty_phil]

basicly are the bottom ends the same cast with different internals

[gafvts]

i am pretty sure all the engine mounts are different,so all new ones will have to be put in.cheaper doing vts mate smileys/smiley17.gif

cool well with the VTs theres a few things im unsure of do i need a fith injector where do i get the manifold from and is it ok to do 2 gaskets or do i do lower compression pistons as I only have limited fundsand the xantia i could have got very cheap of a familly member

[shorty_phil]

also if i was to do lwer comp pistons is there any way i can have my pistons skimmed etc as i have only just had new pistons fitted so could mine be skimmed profesionally for cheaper than a new set

i would but half of the topics confuse me lol

if they confuse you then i wouldnt try the conversion, xantia engine wont go in without lots of mods, saxo engine is easiest to do and its not easy
