hman205 1 Posted January 17, 2006 Having talked about this idea many a times i sat down to look at how i would be going about doing such a Build orriginally i had thought GTI6 bottom end fitted with forged pistons etc... But my brother in law an experiance engine builder is suggestion it would be better to use a diesel block and cosworth internals Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrSeuss 0 Posted January 18, 2006 2ltr turbo bottom end strapped to whatever head you want and a gti6 inlet manifold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted January 19, 2006 Go the S16 route and use forged stuff inside. Like DrSeuss said GTi-6 inlet is best. And a DP engineering equal length manifold if you have enough money! Currently finding parts for my build at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattsav 1 Posted January 19, 2006 I can now supply forged low comp pistons for £450 + Vat/set from France (IAPEL). We've also got tubular T16 style exhaust manufactured from inconel. Just waiting for the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdd144c 0 Posted January 19, 2006 How much for steel rods Matt? And crank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bet that's gonna be a scary price, though. I'm still waiting for those 6 numbers to come up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
engine killer 6 Posted January 19, 2006 the following website perhaps may give you a more clear view. http://www.norrismotorsport.co.uk/peugeot205project.html by the way, i think it "http://www.norrismotorsport.co.uk/peugeot205project.html" has been discussed before.
