Gti6 Engine Conversion

[harryskid 193]

Started to fit engine, so far old motor is out. Can any one tell me if the battery will fit in comfortably or should i re locate it as some one said i ought to do. I don't really feel happy with more weight in the back or all the extra cable bearing in mind its a rally car.

Use the 306 battery box it looks very tidy and also houses the ecu

How are you fitting the airfilter? On the 90 degree hose?

 

Battery will fit in original place

ive always had a thing for chucking my battery in the boot i like the idea of the weight distrubtion, especailly on 6 coversion, could shift that little bit extra weight to the back. although entirely up to you. 306 batt box will look neat though

Battery in the boot.

 

 

Use a 306 battery box, seperate the ECU housing from the 306 battery box, like I did. My air filter is a K&N 57i, mounted below before the gearbox:

I love the cage being fitted to the beam bolts, i was thinking of doing what you did apart from having the batter below the boot floor which i might try myself keeping the centre of gravity as low as possible.

Thats a bloody good idea to store the spare wheel and the battery!

 

Might have a look into that

Its fine what hes done but on mine i've got a fuel pump in a sealed box, a fire ext and a spare wheel so for me it would be difficult.

You don't need to do that

 

Get a ECU holder from a TU powered 306 they have separate ECU holder on a nice metal bracket you can modify slightly then bolt to ign amp mounting point
