Have you considered a 2.0 turbo conversion? i hadn't until joining here. It doesn't seem to matter where you live, mi16s are rare full stop. i think 200+ is easily done with a 2.0t. another popular choce is a 306 gti 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DamirGTI 327 Posted October 25, 2007 Hello ! I'm traveling with my mate from time to time in Italy visiting breaker yards and looking around for various spare parts engines etc. (around towns - Trieste , Udine and as far as we been yet is Venezia ..) , and i remember that there was a few Mi16 engines ( 2.0 Turbo engines also , and they where both a bit cheap from 200 to maxi. 300 EU ) on some breaker yards (to be more specific breakers in or near the town - Udine ..) Id suggest that you ring a few of them if this part of Italy is not so far from where you live .. some of the breaker yards at where i've been : GORICA: Bressan Armando, stradone mainizza,89 GORIZIA tel 0481391053 GUERRA FRATELLI (S.N.C.) 34071 Cormons (GO) - V.

DamirGTI 327 Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Hi ! Nice , yes then this is not so far for you you have good flat motorway there anyway Try this one I've found them very good - kind , always helpful , and my mate who is car mechanic he hoes there two times every week buying various engines from them for very long time now , around 10years , and never ever had any problems with engines bought from this breaker - they're selling good used engines trust me we know this guy : AUTODEMOLIZIONI DEL FRATE snc 33040 Pradamano (UD) - 100, v. Nazionale tel: 0432 670844 If he doesn't have any Mi16 now in stock I'm sure that he can get you one if you make an order But the other breakers around the town Udine are also good , must be at least one Mi16 engine there and as i say if not make order for one and they will find this engine for you Regards !

Mandic 0 Posted October 28, 2007 Have seen two Mi16 engines on scrapyards in Venezia last time I went there. Me and my mates often go in Venezia or Udine to grab parts, in fact we were thinking of going next week. That list Damir gave You travels around on Slovenian and Croatian forums and comes in handy. Give a call and I'm sure someone will have it. Cheers Ziga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,623 Posted October 28, 2007 how big is your budget? that is possibly one of the most powerful 8 valvers, but is also one of the most expensive. throw that kind of money at a 16v and you'll get near on 300 bhp, but an almighty thirst for Vpower...

BTW as i Wrote i would to stay around 190 bhp, so if I finally find an mi16 with an upgrade is not a mission impossible, isn't? my budget? max 1000-1500 €....I hope regards Federico Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamirGTI 327 Posted October 28, 2007 Longman's modified 205 8v , that engine must cost a fortune Is there any specs around the net of what is exactly inside this 1.9 8v engine ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,623 Posted October 28, 2007 I dont think there are any published specs, it was essentially a custom spec. IIRC Henry Yorke told me it was a Longmans GP A plus engine, steel rods and liners, forged pistons, high compression and a wild cam, I think they were Webber 50s. 10.5k rpm capability, though with an used set limit of 8.5 to make it last a bit longer as it would have needed a rebuild a lot sooner! not sure on exact figures but the complete lump was near the 10k mark, with a 6k gearbox!

Baz 421 Posted October 29, 2007 If i'm right, Kieran's (Jackherer) frind has the shell of this car now, so he may now something about the car's spec before it was broken! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted October 29, 2007 Thats right Baz, my friend Bond has it now minus engine/transmission. I still haven't installed the new drivetrain which is a very nice package but still a downgrade from the last one. I can't tell you anything about the engine except that it cost "five figures" and also I checked the tell tale on the stack dash and it was at 8.5k as stated above.
