i was asking about that a while at A B MOTORSPORT and he advised me to go with gti-6 more tourqe i think he said i was to busy dancing around with joy as he got my car to run right for the first time.

I am a newbie on here and looking to buy my first 205 in a couple of weeks time. I was thinking about this the other day so would really be interested if someone could highlight the advantages and disadvantages of both engines in a 205

[yeti-dj 7]

think this has been covered about 1,000,000 times now..

 

best idea would be to try and get a drive in a 205 with each engine and make your own mind up.. both are a great addition to the wee 205

i'm a newbie to. i think the gti-6 is a bit stronger don't quote me on that but i'm just about to do a conversion on my 205 i'm just gunna lob the alloy mi16 in there seen all the videos on youtube and that looks good enough for me lol

It's the new 8V vs 16V..

 

Depends what you mean by "best" really, do you mean more power, which will make you go faster, which is more tunable, or which will last longer?

GTi6 comes with more power and a more reliable management system, but the Mi16 is lighter! Both seem to respond well to the same mods, and Mi16's will pretty much all need a rebuild of some sort.

 

In my opinion the Mi16 is better, because it makes almost as much power for less weight, and it's a right laugh to rev the tits off it.

Has anybody weighed the engine block and head off an MI and the same with a 6 engine MINUS gearbox?

 

Settle this one thing and for all

I have, with my arms accurate to 0.001 tonnes. I found that the Mi16 block weighed 0.notmuch whereas the GTi6 block weighed exactly 1 s*itload. That's a difference of 0.waytoomuch.

hmm, well the head weighs about 26 kilos on the later engines, how much does an MI16 head weigh?

 

I've got an iron block I can weigh sat outside, as well as a bare alloy block and a set of liners, no 1.9 rods or pistons or crank though

theres a fair bit of knowledge up in that head of yours wp! expect some pms from me when trying too fire my 6 lump

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

Sounds good Mei, don't think pistons and conrods would make much difference between the two?

 

Would the main difference be between the blocks(/liners)?

 

Heads I can't imagine being that different?

Vac pump and coilpacks on the 6 head won't weigh much against dizzy, rotor ht leads etc on MI?

i wouldnt be suprised if they are very simalar in weight tbh, maybe the 6 weighs just a little more.

16kg difference between the XU10 iron block versus alloy block with liners.

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

F*ck all really then.

 

That is without a box and head right Rich?

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Is the 2.0 HDI block pretty much the same block as an XU10?
