More modern engine conversions?
 

Thinking about newer engines that have come out in more recent Citroens/Pug's

Will the C2 VTS engine go in a Saxo. It has 125bhp doesn't it??

How about the engine in the new 207GT its a 1.6 turbo. Are these engines based on the same (TU??) engines that the VTR and VTS have or are they completely different?

Would they fit?

Engine section? probably get a better answer there..

With enough money almost any engine will fit, theres the Zcars people that will put bike engines into saxos and that other place that does the Vtec conversions....

The c2 can go in the saxo and the new 207GT engine would be expensive if you were to find one.

Could anyone move it over or shall I start a new thread over there??

Yeah I realise that engines can bee put in the back with spasse frames etc.

I'm just thinking about easier conversions. Something that goes pretty much straight in without faffing about.

What makes the C2 5bhp more powerful than a Saxo VTS engine??

Yeah I doubt it would be cheap but it'd be a good conversion if it was possible and very tuneable I would imagine. Prolly the conversion of the future.

it has bigger valves for starters but just consider it the same engine with very small tweaks. Not worth getting the full engine for 5bhp. Just use the head

Hmmm not even if I was going to be converting to another engine anyway?? E.G taking the engine out of my VTR?

i have heard of people dropping a C2 engine into their saxo before, on a couple of occasions actually, but im not sure if any 'extra' work was needed to make the baby fit snug under the bonnet! they will deffinately fit though!

Also why has the C2/C3 GT/VTR only got 110 from the same 1.6 16V?

207GT engine is a diesel!! performance isnt too hot

Ur jokin I though it was a petrol! Oh well that sucks LOL

nothing wrong with diesel engines look at the golf gti tdi it flies quite a few manufacturers are using diesles in performance cars now but as for the 207 gt its wank i'd avoid it like the plague

yeah i wasn't dissin' diesels, was just saying the 207's engine is crap!

Are you sure its diesel. I'm talkin bout the 1.6 turbo thats been co-built with BMW

This:

not just the engine the whole car is shite puegeot have seriously lost the plot

no its diesel, was in last months lax flower

peugeot are doing something wierd, must be something in the water!

So they're doing a 110bhp HDI a 150bhp HDI and then there's gunna be a more powerful version in the GTI next year!!

Hmm. Interesting thread.

Diesels are becoming very popular to tune. Just look at the Audi R8 diesel that won Le Mans.

Diesel engines are the future (apparently) they respond better to tuning.

its all about the torque

torque makes a car quick
bhp sells a car
