2.0l 16v xsara engine

This might of already being asked but im to lazy to search it
How easy is it to drop a 2.0l xsara engine in asaxo, costwise and effort
Also looking at a possible turbo if theres space
Ive not long got back from the ring and decided more power is needed

Iron block, heavy front end. Pain in the arse fitting the BE box, then odd welded shafts etc.

waste of time when you can simply turbo the 1.6 16v

for the sake of 400cc.

As it happens the tu5 is a heavy old bugger so the xu10 isnt actually that much heavier, but the bay is the wrong shape for it.

15Kg is still 15Kg! :p

For shits and gigs go for it,if you've got the cash,patience and resources then why not.

For me personally I'd go down the turbo route with the 1.6 engine.

personally its one of those questions, if you have to ask 'how much' or 'how easy' you either don't have the money, or don't have the skills.

Can you get hold of forged pistons etc for the 1.6 want to be able to run decent boost

Has been done, 2.0 16v with Subaru turbo. The guy doesn't know how fast it is because it goes around the speedo and back to nought. Needs some fiddling to fit the turbo and the box + air intakes.

Sounds like me......both of them though:panic:

thats an 8 valve turbo 406 engine, 150 bhp stock, bit of a boring breathless boat anchor tbh, was designed as a bargle lugger not a performance engine, hence the CT badging in citroen's, (constant torque) they run out of puff before 6k.

It's possible, but why not use a better package full stop?
