Xantia 2ltr

[hodgy 0]

is the XZANTA 2ltr 16V the same as an MI? as i was looking at my old mans car and the engine looks the same? apart from all the hydrolics for the suspension like.

What model Xantia has he got? I think the VSX was XU10J4.

Most Xantia's were the 136hp XU10J4R engine (like the 406 and 306 XSi 16v), but the very early VSX's were the 155hp XU10J4 S16 engine

 

The inlet manifold should give it away.

how do you mean the manifold should give it away , i have just seen this:

ebay link

and was thinking of buying it but not if its only the 135bhp one

looks like the 155bhp 2 litre Mi/S16 to me - vac thingies on the top and all that gubbins

sweet i might have a bash at it then , is it the same as the mi ? exept the plastic inlet manifold?

Its an 86 X 86 2 litre.

 

The inlet design is crap and they are rather heavy (cast block rather than wet liner like the 1900) but pretty torquey and nice to drive.

 

In the past people have talked about ditching that manifold and putting a 1900 on - IIRC its the same stud pattern.

 

Then you can either adapt the 1900 throttle body or tig weld on a plate and use the 2000 tb.

i am going for bike tb's anyhow and emerald managment so the inlet would be ditched whatever engine i get

No need to muck around with the Mi one, The GTi 6 inlet is a direct fit with just a couple of sensors to change

 

But the engine is the correct one on ebay

i have been offered a xzantia vsx engine from an m reg car (still waiting on the engine code) , but its an auto , will this matter or is it just a case of changing the box ( will any be1 box fit?) , does anyone have any opinions on the advantages / dissadvantages of the dry liner vs the wet liners etc. obviously weight is a dissadvantage but is there anything else .

will other xu parts interchange betwen the xu9 and the xu10 engines i.e heads manifold etc.
