Guest nzant008 Posted March 8, 2006 YES, I KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS THIS IDIOT THINKING!!!! Well here is the jist of it. There is a 306 Gti-6 for sale with a blown engine (cambelt broke at high speed) and i wanted buy and find a replacement engine to put back into the HOLE. However, there doesnt seem to be any for sale in New Zealand. I do however have in my possesion a perfectly good 1.9 Mi16 engine (which i was going to sell, but am thinking about re-considering) and was thinking how hard would it be to plonk the Mi16 engine into the 306 Gti-6. Does anyone have any experience with the RFS engine? I have only had experience with the xu9's and havent worked on a RFS engine. All help would be much appreciated.

pug_life 0 Posted March 8, 2006 should fit straight in to be honest i prefer the alloy mi16 over gti-6 lumps... problems associated with tensions and valves would be one reason... s16 fits and thats just an iron block mi16 essentially Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nzant008 Posted March 8, 2006 should fit straight in to be honest i prefer the alloy mi16 over gti-6 lumps... problems associated with tensions and valves would be one reason... s16 fits and thats just an iron block mi16 essentially I was wondering what is the difference in the sump. I:E the mounting of the A/C pump, power steering etc. I havent really examined a Gti-6 engine closely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 10 Posted March 8, 2006 I'd expect the bigger problems to be in the ECU/wiring rather than the physical fitting of the thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted March 9, 2006 I've thought about something similar, like having Mi16 into a phase 1 306 Xsi. Hmm trouble is whatever I get next must have aircon, I can't live without it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted March 9, 2006 Not quite yet. I'd be mad to at the moment anyway because it'd been so reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm trouble is whatever I get next must have aircon, I can't live without it now.You mean you've been contemplating killing a 405 Mi16 to fit the engine into another car!! What a fine defense service that is, kill you own. Are you a Yank at heart Kris? I thought those days had passed when you returned to the 405 after the 309 Mi you had. Disgusting, I thought you'd rather see them all rot away in scrapyards than let the heart live on in a new body. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted March 10, 2006 It was just a thought but I'd never do it. I like the Mi16 engine but sometime I wish it was in a newer body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
