pugpete1108 62 1 Cars Posted July 25, 2006 luckily i got a photo before i went to pick up this engine bloody scrap yards , havent got a clue, just out of interest but what engine is it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cknotty Posted July 25, 2006 What Citroen is it in? Definitely looks like an XU of sorts to me. Most likely an XU10, but could be an XU9 from an early ZX possibly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugpete1108 62 1 Cars Posted July 25, 2006 they told me it was a 2ltr 16v froma xantia , one weird looking engine tho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boeseturbo 1 Posted July 25, 2006 they told me it was a 2ltr 16v froma xantia , one weird looking engine tho! I´m sure, that is not a 16V! look at the spark-plugs... look like normally XU 8V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug309twin40s 1 Posted July 25, 2006 banjo already got it. 2lt 8v xu10J2, 125bhp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest andy309goodwood Posted July 25, 2006 same engine as in the 306 xsi 8v the reason it looks strange is the air box that is mounted on the cam cover apart from that its a std xu10 8v ... i think lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted July 25, 2006 good engines those... but if its in a xantia it could be a 1.8 as most 2litre xantias were 16v. how much are they asking? i sold one in two halves for around 100 quid, also the management should fit a gti nicely. add a gti cam to that engine and remove the s*it air routes and IIRC youll see around 140 bhp with plenty of tourque...

Banjo 1 Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) I've got one in me red pug, with the gti cam and a bit of head work it goes well. Baffled sump with trap door and windage tray too.. Edited July 25, 2006 by Banjo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inferno 1 Posted July 25, 2006 that is a xantia btw on looking at the pic again, its very probably a 1.8. should have a badge on the doors indicating so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inferno 1 Posted July 25, 2006 i stand corrected... ive only ever seen 2l 16vs and 1.8 8 vs in them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted July 25, 2006 i stand corrected... ive only ever seen 2l 16vs and 1.8 8 vs in them I've had xantias and xms with 2.0 8v engines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugpete1108 62 1 Cars Posted July 26, 2006 they wanted £120 for it but i am looking for 16v power and nothing else , don't think i will ever find a cheap one tho i was gonna drive 240 miles round trip to pick it up then got the photo at the last minute , lucky really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted July 26, 2006 don't think i will ever find a cheap one tho You're doing the right thing by looking at old xantias etc, keep trying and you'll find a bargain eventually, trust me. Then, when you've found one you'll probably find loads more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted July 27, 2006 16v head from s16/gti6 or mi will all fit onto the 2.0 8v easy enough. If you cant find a decent 16v lump get a cheap decent 8v and a known good head of here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
