Fitting 206 Hdi Engine To Xs

[M_R_205 5 1 Cars]

Hey, not been on here for quite a while after buying my first house and not having the internet at home!!

 

Now that i have a mortgage and all that jazz im going to have to make the pug more economical and im toying with the idea of fitting a 1.4 HDI engine out of a 206... now i know nothing about 206's or hdi engines so im not sure whats what, the main questions i have are..

 

1. how easy will it be to get the ecu hooked up and working? is there some form of imobilised key/chip fafff that i will have to deal with, and if so is there an easy way round it?

 

2. the engines look similar to the TU engine already in the XS, is this fact? will it easily fit in and can i use either the XS box, or the HDI box onmy shafts?

 

3. Exhaust??

 

 

Cheers in advance

paul.

have seen a 2.0 from a 306 in a Lazer gti, I believe one of the forum members bought it and is converting to 2.0 turbo petrol.

 

as for the ecu, depends on the age of the 206 it came from, get an old enough one and it'll be quite straightforward, much like a gti6 conversion I believe though I've not looked into them greatly, retrofitting the immobiliser wiring is not difficult.

 

engine is similar to a TU in that it sits upright, best off using the gearbox that comes with it to retain decent gear ratios.

 

exhaust - make it fit, just like any other conversion

 

its a commonrail injection system that requires a lift pump, so fitting a gti tank would be needed, as well as a return line.

Thats handy i have a spare gti pump and tank, will the pump be ok to pump the diesel?

 

Good point on the gearbox i forgot the ratiios would be very different!

 

exhaust, fair enough lol!!

 

Im going to see how much the engines are from the scrappy and look at some wiring diagrams i think

Only in the newer models such as 307, in all the others it lays back at the same angle as the XU on which it is based. Apparently the conversion to upright was for crash performance. If you were to put the engine in a 205, you'd have to lay it back anyway for it to fit.

Seen them in 206's too where they sit upright, dont recall seeing them in any other vehicle though (bar the Fiesta where it sits upright as well)

The 1.6 Hdi engine (DV6 code or DLD for fords) has always sat upright. I think RossD is confusing them with the DW10/DW8 that do indeed sit back like the XU.

so there is the potential that the engine wont even fit in the car if its sat upright?

 

I might just buy a 206 there cheap enough...

To be perfectly honest I would say that is the far easier option. Something like a late non turbo diesel Xsara or 206 can be had for not much money, will do good mpg, and will be pretty reliable in all likelihood.

The MPG figures of the 1.4 and £30PA tax are very appealing. I drive 40 miles a day and spend most of my time sat in traffic, so its a very tempting prospect if im honest. its a shame as i love the car its just costing a bomb in petrol... any one want to buy a red XS lol

you'll only get the £30 p/.a tax if you leave it in the 206.
