#1: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: Johnbyron, Location: ScunthorpePosted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 6:24 am ---- How many 206 gti 180's in the uk have actually been turbo'd ??
I know of quite a few abroad but iv never actually came across one in the uk, if anyone knows of one in the uk could you let me know please.
#2: Re: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 6:45 am ---- I got a quote back from pug1off for turboing my v6
"Hi Paul,
This would be completely custom work, you’d have to expect to spend in excess of 10,000 for a half decent job. Supercharging may be a bit cheaper 6-7000 maybe. Then you need to think about the diff as this will be custom too.
Best regards,
Matt"
So I'm not going to do that anytime soon
#3: Re: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 7:13 am ---- There is a 400 bhp one in circulation from Devil developments
No info on the car though, but my mate works there here and there and told me about it & I did see a picture.
There will be a few about that aren't on forums.
Only found out about some nos powered ones before because they ended up on ebay lol.

Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 11:57 am ---- For that money I'd be investigating the 1.6 turbo 207 GTi/Cooper S engine. Plenty of potential in those...although I think they use BMWs Valvetronic system rather than a proper throttle butterfly and all that might be difficult to hookup to a standalone ECU.

Name rings a bell, Devil Developments,
Rear mounted turbo apparently, 350 bhp & it's a 180.
That's what I was told, my mates Glanza goes there & he does a few other bits for mates, one works there on a weekend basis I think.
They could be just pulling my c**k, like I really give a s**t though lol there was a KMF 206 in a RR pic only the rear end and they said about it.

What a load of utter b******s. The DT loves to alter its timing daily along with piston ring failure on the DS side of the market.
The engine is shockingly bad
#13: Re: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: Andy180, Location: Stoke on TrentPosted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 9:14 am ---- Isn't there uprated parts avalible for the timing now ? Mines been fine so far touch wood, can't comment on the piston ring failure issue with the ds .
#14: Re: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 11:54 am ---- Never heard of any common engine complaints in the Minis...

Wasn't there a recall for something causing engine fires?
That was for the electric water pump that cools the turbo.

Yes that STILL fails
Its by far the absolute worst engine ever possibley built by PSA
Give me a TU5JP with a turbo anyday of the week

406 & C5 HPI
It was problematic to say the least

Ive never came across one, or really heard of it, but s**t not pointless
I can understand the EW slightly but its a bit ahead of their time, as HPI didnt really enter the petrol PSA market till the EP6DT to assist atomistation of the fuel.
I would think BMW introduced it but ive heard from other techs at the headquarters we actually designed the cylinder head
Best engine we made, TU or XU by far. But the new 1.0 and 1.2 engines intrest me with the oil lubricated cambelt
#22: Re: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 2:49 pm ---- HPI had a Siemens high pressure direct injection petrol system running between 30 & 100 bar fuel pressure.
It was problematic, not many people bought one & it was killed of.

Xu lump had its fair share of timing problems didnt it.

The pre 94 XU petrol 8 valve lumps if it stopped rattling from the top end you knew something was wrong with it

The first ever TU's did, piston slapping valves
But thats when the days you could smoke next to someone draining petrol and submerge appretinces in oil

I've seen the aftermarth of a mechanic doing just that as a private job while draining a misfueled Vectra diesel hire car via the access panel under the rear seat.
Car was a total loss

Tbh andy, if i ever got a 207 gti (i like them alot) i would remove the cams and have a wood ruff key ground into them and know im safe for life
Yeh, 180's have gone ages before the due date. Pot luck really
#32: Re: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Fri Sep 07, 2012 7:15 am ---- Just remembered why I don't come on here much any more.
Anyway... My mate owns a 180 that's been turbo'd by Devil in Littlehampton. Not sure if that's the one everyone's on about but it's not running 350bhp. It's at 252bhp currently but there's more plans.

Can you share us photo, video or any other information ?
#34: Re: How many 206 gti 180 turbo's in the uk?? Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Mon Sep 10, 2012 12:06 pm ---- He's not on any forums. All I know is the turbo is mounted at the rear on the car, will try and get some info next time I see him though.
