1.6 THP engine

[Jamie]

One of my options if my engine ever goes bang.

1.6T or a 206 1.6 XSI JP4 and body it and use the XSI ECU. My ECU & complex electrical system makes my car crap for big mods without loosing features.

I'll watch this thread as I haven't seen anyone bar on info talk about these engines for swaps.

In my opinion I think the 206 is a bit big for a jp4 to lug around bodied or not

You're probably right, but within the next 2 years I plan on making this a weekend toy. I really want to get in to tracking so the car would be mega stripped.

It's either that or turbo, that would be dollar though because I wouldn't want any old half job. With itbs it's easy to find second hand kits for these engines.

It's not happening yet, the stock engine would be great with the car stripped and a map. I just hate the complex electrical system. I guess though if it was to become a track car I wouldn't exactly need to have the climate control and other bits working...

Got me thinking now lol.
