hman205 1 Posted January 17, 2006 Having talked about this idea many a times i sat down to look at how i would be going about doing such a Build orriginally i had thought GTI6 bottom end fitted with forged pistons etc... But my brother in law an experiance engine builder is suggestion it would be better to use a diesel block and cosworth internals Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my brother in law an experiance engine builder is suggestion it would be better to use a diesel block and cosworth internals Any thoughts? id go for a steel block... if you was keeping the standard internals go for the s16 block as they still retain a fully floating gudgeon pin, on the piston... and use the gti6 head.... only my suggestion cheers lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrSeuss 0 Posted January 18, 2006 2ltr turbo bottom end strapped to whatever head you want and a gti6 inlet manifold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Go the S16 route and use forged stuff inside. Like DrSeuss said GTi-6 inlet is best. And a DP engineering equal length manifold if you have enough money! Currently finding parts for my build at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattsav 1 Posted January 19, 2006 I can now supply forged low comp pistons for £450 + Vat/set from France (IAPEL). We've also got tubular T16 style exhaust manufactured from inconel. Just waiting for the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted January 19, 2006 How much for steel rods Matt? And crank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted January 19, 2006 We've also got tubular T16 style exhaust manufactured from inconel. Just waiting for the price. Oooooo, that sounds nice! Bet that's gonna be a scary price, though. I'm still waiting for those 6 numbers to come up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
engine killer 5 Posted January 19, 2006 the following website perhaps may give you a more clear view. http://www.norrismotorsport.co.uk/peugeot205project.html by the way, i think it "http://www.norrismotorsport.co.uk/peugeot205project.html" has been discussed before.
