#32: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 2:35 pm ---- true but id rather do tht lol it will be more fun lol
#33: Re: engine converstion Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 3:07 pm ---- i am confused now.
are you going to do the conversion yourself or are you paying people to do that for you?
#34: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 1:29 pm ---- depends how much the companies charge
#35: Re: engine converstion Author: jpnavarro, Location: MaltaPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 12:47 pm ---- Don't think such a project would be worth it, through all the problems of changing the actual engine, buying everything, to possible trouble popping up after the engine conversion is done... Easier saving up for another 6 months and buy a new car immediately...
#36: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:28 pm ---- but the point is i don't want another car :/ see this kinda annoys me bout this is most people who waana do stuff like this usually get gunned down buy people sayin nooo its not werth it nd stuff but if people want to do it then give them encouragement bout it , most things are pointless but if people have the heart to do it give them a lil bit of hope
#37: Re: engine converstion Author: Lewis1304, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:31 pm ---- Dont bother dude, tune the engine youve got. its probably the most commonly tuned peugeot/citroen engine or a hybrid of it so parts are easy to get hold of, knowledge is known and you could see around 300bhp from forged internal and turbo etc alot of power for such a small car.
#38: Re: engine converstion Author: jpnavarro, Location: MaltaPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:32 pm ---- true... My point is that i was also interested in doing such a conversion, and the costs and time was was proposed was totally overwhelming... But it depends on your case and your car...
#39: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:34 pm ---- turbos cost to much money tho id rather take mine off the road nd put a gti lump isn't it or something like tht . but i was thinkin bout puttin lightweight flywheel, cam , remap , maifold , injectors, walbro uprated fuel pump on my 1.6 , with a upgraded coolin fan and a alloy radiator
#40: Re: engine converstion Author: XSIcheeseman, Location: OrpingtonPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:35 pm ---- but i know people are gonna be like wats the point its a 1.6 :/
#41: Re: engine converstion Author: Lewis1304, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 1:44 pm ---- Dude, I personally thing the 1.6 is a better engine than the 2.0 gti and gti 180. You look at 106 gti's and saxo vts. People get some power out of those!

Why do you need an uprated fuel pump and cooling fan?

you can't compare a 2.0 to 1.6, considering the torque and power power 2.0 still has an advantage. but that doesn't mean the 1.6 is a bad engine.
i would tune the 1.6 or 2.0 lump. but i wouldn't drop a 2.0 lump and then tune it. it is just asking for troubles and $ as well. not to mention gti nowadays are as cheap as chips
