Baz 421 Posted September 23, 2011 Yes. Anything's possible with deep enough pockets. But why? Would be a more fitting question! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted September 23, 2011 They're only about 168bhp anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 16 Posted September 23, 2011 DO NOT buy that car with the intention of breaking it, please! According to howmanyleft.com there's only 1 of those left on the road, breaking that car should be punishable by death! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,629 Posted September 23, 2011 they were known to produce more than their quoted figures, but there's plenty of motors that'd be a wiser choice before that one. be sacriladge to break a CX turbo anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron 16 Posted September 23, 2011 My dad has a pretty good story involving a Jaguar XJ prototype, a CX GTI Turbo 2 and an Autobahn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baz 421 Posted September 23, 2011 Why bother when you could have this, http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C251535 Not an insane price either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted September 23, 2011 I don't think anyone is going to buy that for £3k and then break it. I used to have a CX turbo and I never had it on a rolling road but it was only about as fast as a 1.9 8v 205, if that. As they use pushrods they don't rev at all really, the power delivery is like a modern turbo diesel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted September 26, 2011 Those 2.5 turbo engines are a straight fit into a Citroen DS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richie 32 Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Why do I like strange looking cars? I really like that. Such an oddball car. Edited September 27, 2011 by Richie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted September 27, 2011 You can fit the Maserati V6 from the SM into the DS. Fitting the CX turbo engine to one would be like fitting the modern characterless 2.0 8v turbo into a 205 when you could have an Mi16. But even worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackherer 543 Posted September 27, 2011 The GTI6 is not a contemporary engine for the 205 GTI so you're wrong To continue my analogy but in reverse that would be like fitting the CX 2500 GTI NA engine to a DS. It'll go faster and it'll be more reliable but it wont have any resale value apart from being broken for its constituent parts. BTW I should have stated that I was referring specifically to 205 GTIs in my last post. Putting a GTI6 into a UK Rallye is fine with me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
