cheers.

Im sure you can put a 1.6 8v engine straight in, not sure about the 16v though
#3: Re: engine swap Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:51 am ---- Getting the head gasket replaced & the head skimmed will be cheaper than an engine swap & more insurance.
#4: Re: engine swap Author: perry89, Location: thurrock essexPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:53 am ---- the mechanic said the head gaskets gone and wants 400 to do repair work, but i can get an engine cheaper lol, wouldnt mind a 1.6 8v but would prefer 16v if possible
#5: Re: engine swap Author: C-MAN, Location: RedditchPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:57 am ---- Do the head gasket yourself, its not a big job.
And take it to a metal worker to get it skimmed, it posible it might not even need to be skimmed.
It wont cost that much at all if you do it like this

It'd make more sense to get your head gasket done, not change it.
Think about if you ever want to sell it, someone's viewing it, it's meant to be a 1.4 and it's been chnged to a 1.6. Personally, I'd see that as dodgy and walk away.
Personal opinion and all that
If you wanna do it, Do it

1-Gear box and some other mechanical things like suspension components, brakes...etc.
2-ECU with all wiring & new BSI too, the new ECY is amust for the 1.6 & 16v engines as you can't operate you current ECU with the 16v engines unless you had the 1.4 16v engine.
By another mean, get the front half of a crashed 206 1.6 16v and take all possible parts from it then swap to your 206!!.
#9: Re: engine swap Author: C-MAN, Location: RedditchPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:04 am ---- I would'not have a clue, it would more than likely be cheaper all round to buy a 1.6 16v pug than to change the engine. Insurance will sky rocket.
#10: Re: engine swap Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:06 am ---- what year is your current 206?
#11: Re: engine swap Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:08 am ---- Its going to be very expensive, youd be better off fixing it then selling the car and buying an XSi mate. If you want to do an engine swap its pretty much pointless going from 1.4 to 1.6, the power youd gain for your money is not worth it at all.
#12: Re: engine swap Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:15 am ---- i was thinkin of changing my 1.6 16v to a mi16

I wouldn't recommend such a big engine like this to be fitted in a small car like 206, the engine is bigger in size too and will require some modifications to be fitted correctly in your 206.
