how big of a job would it be just a case of 1.9 gti hubs subframe and lower the shell onto the subframe with the engine attatched. then add a gti fuel tank and the wiring loom. also is wiring a big job as it would probally have to be done over a weekend any info would be great cheers

Thats pretty much it, you'd need the gear linkage setup as well. If you have a donor gti then it'd be pretty simple.

It's certianly not a weekend job if your thinking you can get it in and running over a single weekend

 

You're going to have to sort

master cylinder/cam cover clearance

fabricate boost pipe work

fit intercooler

fabricate coolant hoses

sort gear leaver clearance issues

fabricate exhaust downpipe

 

nothing massively complex but all takes time

mate I might have the most of that for sale soon from my car. pipework intercooler downpipe engine mount the lot.

pipe work ect isnt a problem my uncle owns a welding buisness so he has a pipe bender ect.

 

i would be getting help from a friend that has done it before in his 205 so would also help

 

whats needs done to the gear lever??

Its the L bracket on the subframe, it catches on the turbo acutator arm, you need to bend it slightly to make sure it doesn't hit.

would cutting and welding it to a short shirt to this i've got a 1.6 gti and doing the same conversion

I think doing it in a weekend would be a push. If you want to make a really good job of it take your time and remember attention to detail on the little things will make the finished product a lot better and so much more reliable / less likely to go wrong due to rushed wiring.

yeah possibly, i couldn't say for certain though, you'll need to fit the engine and see what the clearance is like for you and take it from there

[stuart1298 6]

ok, well i'm gonna try get a spare L bracket and have that one welded, that way i'm covered either way, lol

It seems every 205 varies clearence-wise!
