#6: Re: 206 GTi buyers guide - Practical Performance Car - Sept 2013 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 2:15 pm ---- It says don't go out of your way to buy a 180 instead of a 138!
#7: Re: 206 GTi buyers guide - Practical Performance Car - Sept 2013 Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 2:31 pm ---- Well after reading/doing a course on the architecture of the ew10js. I can safely say its nothing special at all.
Ew12 cylinder head, 4 branch and 180 inlet, and your 138 would fly!
#8: Re: 206 GTi buyers guide - Practical Performance Car - Sept 2013 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 2:58 pm ---- Few mass production engines are that special. It's got a stronger bottom end than the 138 though.
#9: Re: 206 GTi buyers guide - Practical Performance Car - Sept 2013 Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 3:28 pm ---- Actually, its not. It has oil spray jets with slightly refined 138 pistons.
Nothing else

Did you even have a change look inlet and exhuast ports of both engines cylinder head. Port is much more bigger but I'm not pointing that. Entire port shape different on both head. J4S (ES code on head) much much more better than regular J4 head (E0 code on head)
With exatcly same mods J4S will be more powerful and more reliable due oil jets and balanced crankshaft for higher revs.
Only thing I hate on both engine is oil pump. Its not good at high revs.
