#1: Engine Conversion Author: JackHinton, Location: Jersey C.IPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:35 pm ---- Was just wondering if i would be able to convert my 1.4 LX 206 with a 206 gti 180 bhp engine, as in are the engine bays the same size and engine mounts making it an easy job ? hopefully in futre preparing for a rally car if this option is avaliable.
Thanks.

#3: Re: Engine Conversion Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:37 pm ---- Who told you the engine mounts were the same?
i think he was asking if they where the same Lee not saying

If the 206 is non plexed then there's the headache of getting the multiplexed GTI 180 lump running

#8: Re: Engine Conversion Author: JackHinton, Location: Jersey C.IPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:46 pm ---- yeah barely any differece in look of the car, but the model i have is lighter and slighty smaller the reason i think it would go well with the mods
#9: Re: Engine Conversion Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:50 pm ---- What year of 206 do you have?
Depending on the cars electrical system it could be either a nightmare or pretty easy
#10: Re: Engine Conversion Author: JackHinton, Location: Jersey C.IPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:51 pm ---- Its 2001 LX
#11: Re: Engine Conversion Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:52 pm ----

And like MrBSI said if your car is pre plex then it's going to be a lot worse
#13: Re: Engine Conversion Author: JackHinton, Location: Jersey C.IPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:54 pm ---- im fairly clued on about cars but this is my first car, what is meant by plexed and non plexed

2 totally different types of electrical system on the 206 depending on the age & most of the electrical parts, airbags & even the steering wheels ain't interchangeable.
#15: Re: Engine Conversion Author: JackHinton, Location: Jersey C.IPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 3:01 pm ---- ah that helped alot, there's alot of single wiring in the car so im thinking its muliplexed, ill have to find out for sure, but will this make the job alot easier im guessing becuase you dont have to mess around with the electrical side much
