What Cars Did The 8v Turbo Engine Come In?

Yes

score! there's an SRTI locally that I've seen for sale, but wasn't sure if it would have teh right engine. I'll go look on my way to work.

[sonofsam 5]

quick question, did the 605 have the turbo engine in as well?

Torque is the Shiznit

bookmarked, thanks

I found even the 1.9 box to be too long on mine.

 

Surely you mean 'Too short'?

 

Both the Mi and 2.0 T are fairly quick, in standard form. The 2.0 T is definitely cheaper to get serious BHP and even more serious Torque from. I think what you need to decide is what kind of power delivery you like from a 205? Maybe drive a Turbo and an Mi before parting with any cash I had a low mileage 2.0 T ready to go in my car, but changed to an MI because I think that is more in keeping with the whole 205 character of revy power delivery.

I want smooth deliverable-at-any-RPM power. I'd consider an Mi in the future just to see what all the fuss is about , but for now I want it smooth and hard... make of that what you will.

My CTI versus Carls track 205 GTI6 at Llandow recently

 

 

Not a lot in it, but I wasn't at silly RPM as there was no point. This is in a "heavy" CTI with the "flawed" turbo manifold and the "tiny" turbo that only runs half a bar on "standard" 406 Motronic mangement with the cat still on etc (parts in quotes are apparently all downsides to the performance if you search on here!)

 

There is a post on all the Motronic 3.2 ECU's for this engine that is in the engine management section, so that tells you which cars have this engine (some are non turbo's though).

 

The 1.6 box is a silly idea! My CTI was almost like that and whilst it was frantic, all you got was loads of wheelspin and spending half of your 0-60 time with your foot on the clutch changing gear, so I reckon it was slower. There will probably be a video on my Youtube where it span wheels in 5th. I now have a 1.9 1st to 3rd and a longer 4th and 5th. Cruises at 70mph at 3k rpm which is spot on. Dead economical and you don't have to thrash it to get the most out of it. Best modification I ever did!

Can I have a Boost bar instead

[TEKNOPUG 3]

Only if you have a turbo. Otherwise you'll have to settle for the Cadbury's NA bar.

Since I now own a Clio can I have a Flake.....due to the typical rear arch rust these things suffer from.

I've just went out and bought a turbo lump from a 605.

 

I started with the idea with buying a mi but even though it's a 309 gti i thought that i did'nt seem many people have tried putting the turbo into the bigger gti and fancied something different.

 

I'm still kinda curious though to what kind of animal will come from the conversion as i've never even experienced the engine in a 205.

What could be more in keeping than an 8V Turbo Granted the XU10T is not that revvy(a different cam/throttle bodies would change that though), but I would compare it to my old 1.9, but I guess lots on here prefer the 1.6,.so..

 

Overboost is seriously good fun, and my car feels very quick, doesnt wheelspin or torque steer either

 

It can be whatever kind of animal you want to make/drive it like IMO.

Well then you have chosen wisely young warrior.

It's clearly broken in that case as my will t/s in third, even with tall gearing and a trick diff!

[sonofsam 5]

There's me thinking, finally got it running sweet!

What spec engine/boost/management are you running?

[sonofsam 5]

406 Turbo(RGX)Standard management, 0.5bar/ 0.7 on overboost. Soon to be chipped upto 1bar! retaining boost regulator solenoid = 186hp.

It's a completely different power delivery than either a 1.6 or 1.9 standard XU I don't see any comparison apart from the fact they are both 8 valve, one an iron block and the other 2 alloy block wet liners. How is fitting a Turbo lump 'more in keeping'? At least an Mi is the same revy engine, just with a little more grunt. Now that is 'more in keeping'

I don't really agree, I wouldn't call my 1.9 revvy and I think (from what I have heard about the mi16) that you lose some of the mid-range that defines the 8v engine.

 

When i drive my 205 (n/a) I like that fact that you can make good progress without having to rev it round and you drive about on that 3-5k rev band where the meat of the powerband is.

 

From peoples descriptions of the mi16 you don't seem to have that, whereas I think the 8v turbo

is like the standard power delivery but just more everywhere.

[veloce200 3]

I drove a 406 turbo the other day and whilst it had great low down torque it was positively wheezy at 5k plus. I suspect this is due to the cam, inlet manifold exhaust etc. Personally I think turboing an xu9ja is a better bet although dearer

[24seven 104]

can someone please tell me why these 2 605 engines look so different.

 

 

 

I'm told both are 2.0 8V turbos...

top one turbo bottom one 2.2 16v at a guess - certainly not a turbo though

[24seven 104]

ok good, thanks. the first one is the one I'd been more inclined to go for anyway, but was curious about the 2nd one as it's a LOT closer to home.

[TEKNOPUG 3]

406 Turbo(RGX)Standard management, 0.5bar/ 0.7 on overboost. Soon to be chipped upto 1bar! retaining boost regulator solenoid = 186hp.

 

 

Oh OK - you aren't currently running a lot of torque at the moment, so that would explain it.
