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

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!

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.
