1400 Injection Into Rallye ?

[Zacky-94 7 2 Cars]

Ive just brought yellow 205 rallye off a friend of mine no engine in it currently but one comes with it only problem is it has been sat in the garden for 12 months or so in the elements

 

If it doesnt run could i put a 1400 injection engine in it from a 206 i knownits basicly the same engine so mounts and things shouldnt be a problem ?

 

What would it be like to wire up?

 

I know id need a new tank etc

 

Thanks in advance for any infomation or help cheers

as long as its an early enough 206 it should be relatively straightforward, a better choice would be a 106 or saxo, though theyre all 75 bhp same as the original UK rallye, or there's the 100 bhp TU2J2 S1 rallye engine and 100 bhp TU3J2 early S1 XSI engine

Ok briliant thanks for youre help! , id love an s1 rallye lump dont come up very often tho do they , i just want a 1400 for insurance reasons really

If it's modded the insurance will kill it anyway at a Guess as a engine change limits your choices

Im just going to run a standard injection engine for the time being don't think there is much point in tuning a 1400 to be honest lol

If the Rallye was a carb model, then I think it would be a major job to convert to injection. The wiring is different and you would need to fit an ECU. Much easier to fit another carb engine.

Have a look at my journal, I own a yellow uk rallye with a s1 rallye engine and am replacing it with a s1 xsi engine I rebuilt last Christmas.

Ive had a look at the engine today and it seems quite clean and turns over ok so i think i will give it a go and see what happends to be honest im not sure weather its an xs engine its got a twin choke on it and a spare twin choke carb too enless its just been bolted to a rallye engine

 

We will see what happends haha

[kee 22]

rallyes came with twin chokes as far as im aware, mine has one anyway.

 

got a spare XS engine if wanted

[Zacky-94 7 2 Cars]

Ohh i see haha , i have no idea to be honest i always though it was only the xs with twin chokes, thats good to know thanks will keep it in mind see how this one goes first if it fires up lol

It's not that hard. Pretty much the same as most engine conversions.

Thats what i thought to be fair just the tank thats the biggest issue id have thought wiring was the only concern to be honest supose a multi meter and some auto data print outs shouldn't take too long to work out (he says)

What would you be looking for the xs engine mate?

Rallyes are iron block, xs are all ally.

 

Don't think rallyes had twin choke carb.

[MiniGibbo 142]

My smokey ally s1 injection rallye engine will be out in the next month or two If you're interested..

 

Could even try my car first if you're local enough, see what adding injection does to a rallye

I would be intrested yes in the s1 engine would love one! and i thought it was only the xs with the twin choke too

i thought the xs and rallye used the exact same carb just with slightly different jets?

[Zacky-94 7 2 Cars]

I dont know enough about 205's to say to be honest! Haha

Now this wouldn't suprise me because my spare carb has bigger jets in it than the one thats on it at the moment

They did,

Correct, both had solex Z2's but ever so slightly differently jetted due to the different cams i guess.

Im sure all uk spec rallyes were 1400i 75hp i wanted carb so went for the xs lol and i love it. As for tuning a 1400 i think its more fun when you pull away from 1600 or bigger lol

[MiniGibbo 142]

As fun as they are.. The average diesel mondeo will blow then away....

mine doesnt haha god knows how well from 90mph up over they get away but from 0-90 most things cant catch me haha my friends have lexis is200 and astra sri 150 and im away haha i love it but still want more power. its all down to acceleration form me if a car is fast not top speed lots of things will beat me top speed. but 0-90 no no

what have you decided on in the end? injection or carb? I recently bought for my sister a GTX a XS on a single port injector and its surprisingly fast! But you do miss the twin choke jerk!
