Does Anyone Have A Gti-6 Engine In Their 205?

[VisaGTi16v 1]

There is someone that sells remapped chips on ebay for them as well. Wont give much more power but if you are running TB's they might be able to change the fueling map a bit to help and increase the rev limit slightly. 7500 is fine as far as I know

Why/What need is there on any track (apart from The 'Ring or Le sarthe ) to do more than 130 ish, a 1.6 box would suffice surely i say.

[Baz 421]

Well, a 1.6 FD'd 1.9 box, or even better a 1.9 with an Mi FD.

cheers for that am running an emerald ECU so can set the limiter to what i like but am assuming 7300 is there for a reason

 

would keep the mi16 box that ive got atm as long as it bolts staright on saves swapping the diff over

I recommend signing up to here http://www.306gti6.com/forum/forum.php as they have loads of faqs etc which may be of use

Xsara box

 

1st 40mph

2nd 60mph

3rd 90mph

I get around those in gear speeds in my 8v with a 405 SRi gearbox, 4th is on limiter @ 110mph & 5th would hit 154mph with a long enough straight.

 

I am swapping gearboxes soon to either a 1.6 or a 1.9 /1.6 fd though or someting very close to that anyway.

 

I've said this before but if I was to seriously consider going for a 16v engine the GTi-6 would be my prime choice (although I have an Mi downstairs).

 

Saying that though the black 306 (is it a 6? ) in Dixon's first video looks a little smokey.

Dixon, Looks like ur speedo not working, is that intentional?

The speedo works but the rev counter doesnt. Although I've not missed the rev counter as I just go by sound and gear speeds, I'll get it working soon.

 

 

Graham - That 306 gti-6 in my first vid is running Throttle Boddies if that effects anything smoke wise?

[welshpug 1,622]

that black 6 in Dixon's vid looks to be running waaay too rich by the way it smokes on lift off and downshift, maybe he needs a proper RR setup?

 

It has been mentioned that many do run a bit rich when driven hard, not a problem for Kate and her throttle bodies

Just a bit!

Just a bit!

 

 

 

is that yours? isnt that darren halliwell following?

[Garry 1]

Thats me.

 

Its Ed Cross following, aka 'Crossie' in a 106 rallye with 16v lump.

I set that one up. The only way we could get it to run smoothly at part throttle was to set it up rich (it's not waaay rich!). The cams were slightly too much for the CR and without building the bottom end from scratch (not in his budget), it was all we could do. I wasn't completely satisfied with the compromise in the map, but the customer was delighted and we'll hopefully be able to take it further later on.

[kate205gti 4]

picked one up now

 

 

any advice on what to check/replace apart from the cambelt?

[taylorspug 7]

Whilst its out id be tempted to stick a new set of big end and main shells in it, along with thrust washers. Im sure the current ones are fine, but its such an easy job with the engine out of the car, may aswell do it! Seeing as the crank wont be re-ground it wont need much running in either.

[Sandy 189]

Fit a manual cambelt tensioner!

[Super Josh 4]

New water pump at the same time too

 

 

 

 

Josh

[welshpug 1,622]

part number!

 

original equipment are Dayco belts and INA tensioner+Idles, which GSF can supply, I got lucky on eeegay

 

pug want circa £70 plus vat, gsf want £65 inc vat before discount. hope that helps!

[pugrallye 0]

yes always replace water pump with your cambelt and tensioners, as its not just cambelt tensioners that fail and snap belts

[KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars]

I set that one up.

Was that Matt's car?

Whats the weight of the GTi-6 engine with manifolds etc?

[damien 22 1 Cars]

my gti6 lump seems to last forever round the track, i drive it like i stole it and i have the limiter at 8k.

with the throttle bodies your need some good cams and you should see close to 200bhp with them.

theres loads of videos of my gti6 round the track on youtube

this is going to open a can of worms but... fookin heavy!

 

you can move a dressed 8v pretty easily, i can just about lift one when i have to; but moving a dressed 6 is a minimum two man job IMO

usualy in the gravel / hitting armco... right?

yup yup - i picked the 6 engine up from birmingham and it took 2 big scrapyard attendants to drop the engine in the boot... thats with the use of a forklift

[welshpug 1,622]

The J4RS weighs pretty much the same as an Iron block Mi, not surprising seeing as the casting is the same (finished differently maybe) but the head is different.

 

my mates engine crane was flexing about the same amount when I swapped the engine in my ZX its circa 115kilos.
