406 2litre turbo conversion - Saxperience

Tannerman · 2nd December 2011, 01:06

Searched for the answer to this but couldn't dint nothing.

Can a 406 2litre turbo lump be squeezed into a vtr?

I no it fits into a 205 and a GTI6 but never heard of it in a Saxo and there maybe a reason for that.lol

Can anyone shed a bit of light?????

Cheers

Sorry, don't know the answer but after i watched the film taxi i looked for a fast 406 and came up with no luck. Never knew Peugeot made one with turbo & always thought Saxo's were quicker!

The engines standard where shit but iv seen one in a 205 pushing 280break ATW with torque figures thru the roof...much quicker than my mates T16

They will be gti-6 engines that have been turbocharged.
The 406 never came with a turbocharged 2.0.

You can get pretty much anything to fit with a lot of time, money and skill..

No they were 406 engines....they come in the 406 SRI which is a 2L petrol turbo engine around the 98/99 era I think

dannygti · 2nd December 2011, 01:31

You mean 405?

I may be wrong but pretty sure you mean the 8v 2.0 turbo 405 engine?

Tannerman · 2nd December 2011, 01:33

Nope 406 mate.Peugeot 406 SRI

dannygti · 2nd December 2011, 01:33

It seems you are right it was 406.. I thought it was to early for that model :/

Your better off turbo'ing the TU 16v

Your right, there wa no 2.0 Turbo 406. it was a 405.

Its an 8v turbo and pretty pointless to be honest, theres one at work we put into a 206 but never seen one in a saxo. Turbo is on the back of them i bet it would be a right pain to make it fit, could be done but would be daft, 280bhp is easilly achieveable from turboing a 16v

Really??cash wise the conversion could be MUCH cheaper also the engine was designed to be turbocharged which is a bonus(not to mention chances of being more reliable).no mapping issues, no compression issues.the standard lump alone would be an improvement

Tannerman · 2nd December 2011, 01:40

I'm sorry mate but I disagree it is definitely a 406 SRI.

Why do you say it's pointless?

dannygti · 2nd December 2011, 01:44

Disagree with being more reliable. That engine is old hat.. The TU engine is no spring chicken but much better more efficient engine. Just use a decompression plate on the j4 engine.
The hassle of getting the engine to fit, align the diff, sort gearbox, linkages, driveshafts you could of fitted a much better newer engine for the same effort.

Tom5190 · 2nd December 2011, 01:45

Sorry yea i know which one your on about it is a 406 im being a ding the one we put in 206 was from a 406.

Have you seen it though? its a cluttery mess of an engine. I wouldnt say it would be anymore reliable than a turbo'd 16v. if not anything the TU would be better if you took a standard engine and built it once properlly from scratch.

It depends if you would do it or pay someone else dosent it on cost, we have built a few turbo 16v's and also put a gti-6 lump which uses similar mounts to the 8v turbo into a saxo.

I no if it was me id be keeping the TU and turboing that. (but i wouldnt turbo becase tahts for gays)

Our boxes fit tho...(I will be using a different one but they do fit)and if you get the same engine out of the 809(I think it's the 809 anyway it's some crazy MPV) you no that's not gonna be ragged were as you can pretty much garentee every vtr,vts,gti has been fuckin fragged around every roundabout/countryroad in it's vicinity.lol.

dannygti · 2nd December 2011, 01:52

Isn't it an xu engine? In that case the ma gearbox won't fit. You would need a be1/3

LSOfreak · 2nd December 2011, 01:52

theres a yellow 106gti with a 2.0l gti-6 engine on here somewhere, it can be done...
anything can be done, theres a guy who has a 2.0litre turbo c20let engine in a 106gti on here

would be easier to just turbo a 16valve saxo engine though...

Tannerman · 2nd December 2011, 01:53

I just hate the price tag on charging N/A's....I really cant justify it for fast road/scooby slaying days out. Were as the engine = £200/£300 your probably looking at that again for fitting and tbh I don't give a rats chocolate star what it looks like I just want it to go like shit off a snow plough.

They use BE box's dont they so our box's arnt a straight fit?

But its not important about the life of the vts engine if your building it to a reliable 280bhp your going to be re-building it anyway so its 0 miles.

Also that turbo engine isnt really a good engine, its hard to get proper power from it.

if you wanted a 2.0 litre turbo engine then its gotta be gti-6 all the way. plus there alot more used so better availability of parts and its the best engine ever made

Tannerman · 2nd December 2011, 01:55

Plus every guy iv met with a "bolt on" turbo kit has had nothing but issues.yet he has paid nearly £4000 for it.lol

Tannerman · 2nd December 2011, 01:56

Tbh mate I agree I love the gti-6 engine too but charging it is for fools.lol.(no offence guys)
