Theres no way on this planet you will get that fitted for £300

we charge around the £1000 for a 16v conversion in a saxo (thats all in including parts like)

When we put the V6 into the 206 that took alot of time and that was relitivly simple.

you will need a custom exhaust manifold for it for a start so theres another 250ish

lol what!? my boss has a 510bhp one, and its sweet. why is it for fools?

[Tannerman]

Ye but your boss has ways and means of maintaining it cheaply plus everytime iv seen the "205 of love at shows it's done nothing but have it's bonnet up.lol.don't get me wrong mate what a fucking car it is it's a beast.but he owns one of the biggest pug modifiers in possibly Europe so it's easy for him

[Saxovch22]

you would need so many custom parts made up to fit the engine the costs would be ridiculous.

plus arent those engines only like 150bhp ?
could get close to that with breathing mods and cams etc on a J4

[Tannerman]

And with manifolds and exhausts I have "ways and means"lol

[Tannerman]

Which is what I'm asking mate what custom parts would be needed?

And the prices I quoted above would be for me personally.again "ways and means" plus pug1off can charge thru the roof.lol.

[Tannerman]

Yes 150bhp but like you say with breathing mods and a boost upgrade you would probably see 180bhp and that's basic stuff

It always has the bonnet up because the magic is under there not because its broke.

Well id go for it then, im pretty sure no one has ever done it, just for the effort it would take you could have a gti-6 in there or a good TU, just dont see any advantages to putting it in at all. However i would of said that about the guy running a LET but i still love it. Got to admire new things.

You seem to have it all sussed out anyway, get it done and let us know how you get on.

custom parts would most likely be

Custom exhaust manifold + turbo hosing
Custom gear linkages
Custom engine mounts all round
Custom front cross member + slam panel
Custom drive shafts (or BE choice)
Custom pipe work
probly a different rad + fan
Possibly a bulkhead modification if the turbo is a bastard

There all guess's like i said ive never seen one in before.

Our price's arnt through the roof theres alot of places more expensive than we are id say

[Tannerman]

Lol.I was just looking for a bit of an insight/anybody done it in a Saxo...I no it's decent in the 205's etc and I no for big money the obvious route would be a gti-6 charged (pug1offs 205 proves that)but I haven't got thousands to spend.lol.

[Tannerman]

I said that wrong mate I was suppose to generalise. Pug1off is the better company as I have had ALOT of issues with some others.so if I sounded like I was bitching I appologise.

[Tannerman]

Tbh that list is alot shorter than I was expecting.driveshafts defo won't be an issue nor will the mani.the rest......well nothings I
Possible.lol

[dannygti]

If your going to the effort of fitting it, which will requireyou to change pretty much everything that connects the engine an box to the car why not choose a better engine to start with??

Even c20let aren't mega money, rover 2.0turbo, Saab 2.0 turbo (would be very very good conversion), z20let, focus rs mk1 etc etc. There are loads out there that would require no more work to do

[Tom5190]

Yea i no what you mean about the money thing and i see your point that the car is already turbo so your imagining big gains for little money on fuel and boost mapping. Not sure if you use other forums etc but the 206 we made will be kicking about if you search for it, ive got no idea of what power it is or spec list off the top of my head i just no its far from standard but i think hes under the 300bhp mark. (could be wrong)

[Tannerman]

Tbh mate you don't really want more than 300 bhp.I drove my mates T16 and it's like a fighting with a raging bull on ice.lol.my ideal figures would be in the 260/280 and that would be this engines limits anyways (without going crazy on money)plus like you said it's not common/never been done.now there's probably a reason for that.lol.but it might just be that your all scared.lol.

[Tannerman]

ROVER??????ROVER??????are you ok????ROVER.lol

There's no way I'm putting a rover lump anyway near my car.lol.

See your point tho I suppose I just thought Peugeot-Citroën easy beans but maybe a rb????gap power in a French FWD.lol

[Tannerman]

Meant to day JAP power.lol

[Tannerman]

Lol.meant to say say not day....cmon it's 0230.lol

[dannygti]

I'd never use rover, it was just an example.

If you go jap it will coat you, their parts aren't cheap.
