405 1.9 8v engine. IIRC it's the same lump as the 8v BX GTi

this is the bx spec if it helps

 

D6A (XU9J2) 83 × 88 9.3 : 1 125 hp/5,500 rpm 170 Nm/4,500 rpm Bosch L3 Jetronic

ok so its not any worse or beter then ?

Probabably about the same as the 1.9GTi - They never made 130bhp in reality anyway.

I'm pretty certain someone commented some time ago that it had quite a different character to the 205 engine, behaving more like the 1.9 Mi until it ran out of puff around 6k.

if its a 405 sri 1.9 8v id use it,i had one in a 205 not long agi and it drove a lot better than the original lump.use the loom for smoother running and better torque.

i could not say for sure if it has the full 405 sri loom or not. its running a pug performance ecu. well chipped by pp im guessing, but been years since i drove a 8v 205 to compare it with,
