Of course it will fit, it's still a 206 after all. You just need engine, gearbox, subframe, gear linkage, hubs, drive shafts, exhaust, PAS pipes...ECU...all the wiring...

Author: eddie206, Posted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 4:31 pm ---- The real answer is yes it fits but why struggle with doing it and affording it when you may as well just buy a gti...and dont think you can avoid the insurance prices because as soon as u get a problem u will be discovered and in deep doodie then..
#6: Re: engine conversion help? Author: tbagL7, Location: derbyPosted: Sat Jun 29, 2013 5:07 pm ---- cuz my xsi is custom st orange paint job and modified to f*** so i just want the engine instead of a whole new car lol

#8: Re: engine conversion help? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 4:40 am ---- 'modified to f***'
In all honesty it really isn't worth it for the small bhp increase. A decent setup cammed XSI will see the same power anyway and be a hell of a lot easier.
#9: Re: engine conversion help? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 4:52 am ---- But the 1.6 will never compete on torque though.
#10: Re: engine conversion help? Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 4:57 am ---- Is there any reason you can't just rebuild the engine? would this not be a better option?
#11: Re: engine conversion help? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 5:19 am ---- Unless the GTI is going to be modified, I still don't think it's worth the hassle.
#12: Re: engine conversion help? Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 5:29 am ---- It wasn't worth doing engine conversions on 206's 5 years ago, nothing's changed.
#13: Re: engine conversion help? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 6:34 am ---- A 180 conversion on a 206 SW Si could be nice.
