#1: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:20 am ---- how much effort and money would be involved in putting either a GTi180, or a mi16 engine in my pug? don't worry bout people sayin its not werth the effort nd stuff im willin to do it! just want to know if there anyone on here that done it or knows where can do it
#2: Re: engine converstion Author: kieron, Location: in the housePosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:32 am ---- 180 would bolt in but you would need the whole loom ,dash loom, clocks , bsi, ecu and the ecu would need unlocking unless the you get the key and reader around the ignition
the 180 is FLY BY WIRE throttle so you would also need the pedal box and also the gearbox is cable operated so all the linkages would need changing
mi16 has been done before on here be a member who put a t16 engine in (turbo mi16 engine) so its not impossible
what year is your car if its multiplexed it will be harder to put the mi16 engine
alot of people will say just buy a gti or 180 but if your wanting a good project go for it

#4: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:36 am ---- i don't want to buy a new car just want to put a new angine isn't it i was gonna try gettin a wreck gti 180 (back end crash) nd just take all the bits off i don't mind doing it really i think it would be fun

It aint a simple job mate, you really need to know what you are doing.....How about buying a really cheap 206 for £300 pound, take all the looms, engine, subframe and gearbox out then try and put everything back in and get it running, if you are successful at that then go ahead with a conversion
#7: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 5:58 am ---- i do all tht at college lol but i might take it to ecosse

#10: Re: engine converstion Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 6:13 am ---- why bother to put another engine in?
the TU5 block is quite tunable
#11: Re: engine converstion Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 6:19 am ---- A 1.6 engine is never going to be as big on torque as a 2 litre though and it's that which makes the car shoot off down the road...

true.
but unless he got massive amount of buget.
1.6 block with cam and ITB would beat the stock 180
#13: Re: engine converstion Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 6:34 am ---- But not on torque. Might match it on BHP but would be much peakier.
#14: Re: engine converstion Author: BarneyBaloo, Location: ColchesterPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:23 am ---- put a gti6 in there with a xsara 5 speed box
#15: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:30 am ---- well depends how much money its cost
