Can Anyone Tell Me What This Engine Is?

[nick9one1 2]

all i know is that

"This engine came from a citroen but it is the same engine that goes in a Peugeot.

It comes with loads of parts including wiring loom, cat and lamber sensor, alternator, ECU. In fact everything is there to do an engine conversion which is why I bought it.

I was told when I bought it that it had done 79,000 miles.

I have got the gearbox that came with it if the winning bidder wants it."

 

and i got it for 140 which seemed a good price!

Its a GTI-6 lump, also found in Xsara VTS's

 

It wont fit, you'd best sell it to me...

[nick9one1 2]

lol! will it really not fit? or are u pullling my leg?

Wrong, it's a 136bhp XU10J4R, found in some 306 16v XSi's, 406 Ph1 and some citroens of course.

It's not a GTi-6 engine - look at the inlet manifold.

 

It looks to me like the 136hp XU10J4R 2.0 16v engine found in various 306/406/Xantia/XM models

 

Swap GTi-6 cams and manifolds onto it and you've a pretty potent engine for not alot of money.

[Fox 3]

My mistake.

 

I've got a pair of cams and an inlet though...

 

Do they simply bolt on? Can I use the 6 management with it?

 

I've got an idea...

excellent, still not too bad for the price i guess. Is this an easy conversion to do? any good guides out there?

[Peetypug 5]

its defo an xsi engine

look at the exhaust manifold (thats no work of art!)

i sold the same sort of package on ebay a month or so ago for £200

is the ecu unlocked?

Pretty much as the GTi-6 for the most part for plumbing and wiring, and there should be loads on the subject if you search.

[Anthony 1,000]

One thing that does puzzle me though - why on earth did you buy an engine that you had no idea what it was, nor whether it would fit?

[nick9one1 2]

hi pete, what car is the xsi? zx, xsara? just trying to find specs on parkers. the ecu isnt unloacked as far as i know...

Engine is common to lots of Peugeot's and Citroen's.

 

306 XSi 16v, 406 2.0 16v (earlier models), Xantia 2.0 16v (except '93 VSX models), XM 2.0 16v to name a few...

[GTI6BOY 29]

scrap the cat and theres half you money back as you wont need it

[VisaGTi16v 1]

They pay that much for scrap cats? I have one thats blowing on its pipe but cat is intact, where can I take it to get loads of money as I no longer need it heh?

[Peetypug 5]

the car was an R reg 306 xsi

 

if its the cat that the car came from the factory with

 

looks a bit like this

the its worth silly money (up to £100 )

 

but this sort go for nothing

 

you'll need to either get hold of an unlocked ecu or send that one to the ecu doctor (£150)

^^^^^correct

 

A gti-6 cat was worth £130 a month ago at my work but as metal is low at the mo they are around £80

[jonnie205 1]

where are you scrapping cats to get £80?

[nick9one1 2]

well I was 90% sure it would fit a 205 and it looked like a gti-6 to me so i decided to snap it up before anyone else could.

[Peetypug 5]

as said they aint a bad engine, a pretty good upgrade on a 1.6 but with the gti6 bits a good upgrade for a 1.9

Put the cats on ebay, there's people on there that only buy them and nothing else

[GTI6BOY 29]

I work in a metal recyclers and thats what we a paying at the mo

[nick9one1 2]

so with manifolds cams, ecu etc what kind of power can i expect? as much as 167bhp like the gti6?
