Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted April 29, 2007 Took the head of the xu10j4r earlier to examine the bores ready to fit an xud crank, I understand the crank will give a longer throw. Just concerned if it will fit or not? Photos below, you can see the piston already sits about dead level with block deck height. Another side question, picture below is gti6 exhaust mani, does it look like the right fitment as people suggested it fits the 205 downpipe with a renagle job but the flang looks totally different?

welshpug 1,656 Posted April 29, 2007 that doesnt look like a standard flange! rest of it is identical to mine but Mine has a normal type fire ring and spring bolt arrangement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsychoSimon 0 Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) The pistons sit 1mm below the deck of the block on all XU10's The diesel crank is only a 2mm longer stroke which is 1mm either side so it brings the pistons right to the top of the bore, and 1mm lower down the bore at the other end. You can get the re-angling plates for the gti-6 manifold as well, can't remember where I saw them though. I cut my bulkhead and re-welded it like des developments do. It's good to see the engine being used for what I intended it for Edited April 29, 2007 by PsychoSimon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 29, 2007 What yr is the engine? must be a late one as most I;ve seen are the 205 type of gasket and thats upto 2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted April 30, 2007 Sure simon will know what year it is. Anyone know anymore about that manifold flange? Not sure what downpipe I need to get hold of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsychoSimon 0 Posted April 30, 2007 Is that crank the same as the 1.8 turbo diesel ? No the 1.8 diesel crank is a shorter stroke IIRC What yr is the engine? must be a late one as most I;ve seen are the 205 type of gasket and thats upto 2000 I took the engine from a P reg 406. I was fairly sure it was an early version of the engine because it has the vernier pulleys and oil spray bars? Whether it was the original engine in the car I don't know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
