ORB 227 1 Cars Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) OK, so i am getting a 1600 GTi up and ready for a bit of fun, and intend to drive it with the 1600 for some time yet. But, working in the motor trade, i get my paws on a fair few cars, but not a whole load of 'older cars' meaning MI16's and the like So, what I am asking is, what car should I keep my mince pies open for, so that i can do a simple engine swap and get a radical amount of power increase? I mean the likes of 406 turbo petrols? any rapid motors that i can buy a complete car, rob the engine and rebuild so I have a unit that is easy to fit and will run in the 205 with little problem? I have a complete MI16 engine that my brother rebuilt last year, sitting in a garage, but thats got its name on another project. So, what am I to look for, and how hard is it to fit? Thanks Edited August 20, 2006 by ORB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted August 21, 2006 you'll get the best value from a citroen xantia donor probably, either a 2.0 turbo petrol from an Activa or some VSX estates or a 2.0 16v from some VSX models that is essentially the same as the 306 S16 and 2.0 405 Mi16 engine.
