timmsy19 3 Posted March 3, 2006 Did the 205 gti in any time of its production have an electronic or automatic gearbox fitted to the 1.9 Gti engine ?? from what ive heard only the japenesse models had it. been talked about in another topic concerning the gentry "gti" on ebay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pugpowa Posted March 3, 2006 i think there was a limited run of them that didnt sell in japan, and made there way over here, this definitely happened with some 309's, they crop up on ebay sometimes, as mentioned before the 1.9 engine was used in the gentry, although with a lower compression ratio and a cat i believe. a friend of mine used his gentry engine in one of his gti's after summat happened to the gentry, it was all converted to manual, full stainless magnex+kn filter and made 111bhp on the rollers. not sure about the engines in the auto gti's tho.

justinv 4 1 Cars Posted March 3, 2006 mmmm because got a hand on a write off 205 gti engine but the owner said it had an automatic transmission, and was concerned bout it, but as long as the parts are good and fit the normal 1.9 Gti engine it's no problem to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d-9 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Yeh they did do some, as mentioned its the 105bhp low compression engine. Do a search for more information, but iirc: -small valve head with mild cam, different from normal 1.6/1.9 gti stuff -coil on wing not inlet mani, unlike p2 205s -same inlet and exhaust mani as 1.6/1.9gti engine -jetronic with lambda control for cat -top rad hose has pipes going to heat exchanger on top of autobox. -Slow as feck.

justinv 4 1 Cars Posted March 3, 2006 So engine parts are not directly swappable ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d-9 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Depends what bits your talking about, its all he same series engine, so u could bolt a 130bhp engine onto that box or a manual box onto that engine, and the blocks are the same. Pistons are different thou, putting a 130bp head on that block gives a crazy compresion ratio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
