Conversion advise

[Markyboivtr]

Just recently got myself a sax vtr, looking to change engine for more power, something alog the lines of mi16 or gti6. Any handy tips/advise on these engines or possibly better engines, also whichgearbox and driveshafts to use. wiring guides etc etc.

Cheers mark. :y: :y:

Why do you want to use one of those engines in particular?

[Markyboivtr]

Just what has already been advised. im open to other thoughts if you know of a better engine.

[Mochachino]

The VTS engine, lighter and alot cheaper and simpler to do with just the same effect.

If you have the budget to fit a GTI6 engine then fit a VTS engine and spend the remainder on servicing the VTS engine, any change left from that spend on modding it :y:

How can the 1.6 vts engine be the same as the 2.0 mi16.

[Gandi699]

Is not but when tuned will offer similar performance and it wont be a total need custom fitment and control - it drops straight in

[Richardabarnes]

I agree. I mean yeah an mi16 engine is a stronger and more powerful engine, but you'd spend alot of money converting. You might aswell buy n banged out vts lump, and rebuild it to a decent spec.

[Markyboivtr]

See my plan is, and this may sound bonkers but im basically wanting an mi16 engine supercharged, i think this will be awesome fun for track days.

get a 205 if you are that desperate for a mi16/gti6

Stick a supercharged vts in it, It's one of those things that if you dont know exactly what you're doing you'll have to pay someone else to do it. For a non saxo engine you'll need custom shafts, custom mounts, custom loom, custom everything. If you can't fab that yourself you're looking in the region of a few grand just to get the engine in and running.
A vts conversion is drop in and plug & play

The £££££ you'd spend on getting the mi16 engine to fit/run you could spend on supercharging the VTS engine to a very high spec?
