GWtaylor 8 1 Cars Posted April 18, 2013 Do many people use the 106 GTI engine as a conversion for 205's instead of mi16's and turbo's and if not why not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,627 Posted April 18, 2013 its not a particularly common conversion but there are a handful out there, a couple in the projects section. I'd imagine the main reasons is that a larger capacity will always net higher BHP/Torque per £, also the constraints of the weaker MA box hamper things a little if you want bigger power, though not such a big issue as BE conversions aren't too hard to do any more. other thing is that its not a light lump, they're heavier than EW engines and about on a par with Alloy XU's, which are all larger capacity apart from the XU5, specific figures I'm unsure of though.
