V6 205

[bigalthenutter 8 2 Cars]

any one ever built a space framed mid engined 3.0L v6 205 ?

[welshpug 1,657]

of course.

Yeah I did it yesterday but it was slow so I put it back to standard

I found the same when i did the v8 conversion , standard left it standing!

What's better though, a GTI6 or an Mi16?

There's a guy on here with a twin V6 205, which IIRC uses a partial or full space frame. Can't recall his username, but there's vids of it on youtube.

Sarcasm is what we do best here, along with welcoming new members with open arms and words of wisdom.

I don't think it was very special in chassis design. Certainly not lightweight like Cameron's space frame build but he did build a full custom rear clamshell which was very cool. I remember the rear subframe looked like it was almost scraping the ground

I'd call PRDs a rear engine rather than mid

[welshpug 1,657]

why do you say that? its transversely mounted with the engine in front of the axle line the same as an elise, boxter etc which is considered mid engined, not rear mounted behind a transaxle like a beetle.

I've done it I used music as my inspiration..

 

Fleetwoodmac - dreams

 

Supertramp - dreamer

 

Gabrielle - dreams

 

Aerosmith - dream on

 

Suzanne boyle - I dreamed a dream

 

All really helped

Ok if we're being pedantic we'll call it mid/rear engined like an rx8 is front/mid engined. If you want to get even more pedantic PRDs car is twin engined anyway. You know what I was getting at, it's the front of a car welded into the back of a car so IMO fairly wank.

i definatley want to build mid engined 205 an opinions on best engine to use ? i like the idea of a v6 purley for the noise they produce !!

A cd or Mp3 of a v6 engine being reved will be much easier and cheaper if you purley want it for the noise. Drop Tesstuff a pm and he will record his on full chat

[GLPoomobile 958]

If it's all about V6 noise, stick an Alfa V6 in there. The older 2.5 and 3.0 12v engines have a bit more of a character to their sound than the more recent 3.2 24v engines.

For a v6 id probably go with a honda ba167e if I could get hold of one. It's an 80s engine so would suit the car well.

Failing that probably a twin turbo'd one of these, not a v6 but a bit more modern,you can probably get a few more miles out of this one between rebuilds too.

How about a Lexus LFA V10?

Possibly only topped by a Stratos engine (Ferrari / Fiat / Lancia Dino 2.4 V6).

 

I remember talking to a PSC member about 12 years ago on the options of putting the 3.0 12/24v engine from an Alfa 164 into a 405, considering they were both designed by Pininfarina at similar times, it may be an option (though engine mounts would most likely be different)

[harryskid 193]

V6s are for whimps be a man go double and get a V12, if you have got the balls!

Engine sounds don't get any more brutal than the BRM V16. It was designed and built in the 40s so given that it's 70 year old technology you could probably knock one up yourself at home fairly easily too, and it's only a 1500 so should easily fit in the front/back/middle/left of a 205.

 

[calvinhorse 870]

Mid mounted V6 hmmmm

 

Space frame... Hmmmm

 

How about time frame?

 

I give you... The DMC DeLorean!!

Got throttle response!!? Saw one of these at goodwood, super cool.

Yeah I've yet to find a genuine video/sound recording of the BRM 3.0 H16 engine running. It's always just mis-labelled recordings of the V16.

doubling up v6 would be a night mare to syncronise would it not ? i dont have a massive budget and want an insane monster.fabrication isnt a problem as i can do that myself its just what engine would give me the most enjoyment for my money
