djinuk 2 Posted June 14, 2007 just wondering if the 106 rallye engine easily goes into the 205 xs, as im finding the carb on the xs etc to be unreliable and the car is for my gf , so maybe a injection based lump would be better, anybody put the 106 rallye engine in , or even a saxo engine or some sort ?

Sandy 191 Posted June 14, 2007 It is do able, but you'll have to fit an injection tank and fuel lines and wire it in obviously. You'll need the ECU to be "unlocked" to avoid having to fit the immobiliser system. The S1 106 Rallye inlet touches the bonnet in the 205, but only just. An Mi16 conversion is about the same amount of work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djinuk 2 Posted June 14, 2007 usally i would be all good for big power, but its not my car if u get me, i may give it a go , but all depends if a engine and loom comes up at the correct kinda of price, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axnutty 10 Posted June 14, 2007 Just buy a 106 Rallye Would be the easier thing to do. Either that or get the carb overhauled. I ran my AX GT for 2.5 years with no probs what so ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djinuk 2 Posted June 14, 2007 its not so much that , its the whole warming up process of a carbed engine, u no the 3 mins of popping etc , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted June 15, 2007 its not so much that , its the whole warming up process of a carbed engine, u no the 3 mins of popping etc , I'm putting a 106 Rallye engine in my 205, although I'm using TB's and custom ecu/loom etc. I think it's probably easier than a straight swap, non of this immobiliser gubbins to try and sort out!

Sandy 191 Posted June 15, 2007 That's why I ended up TB's my 106 GTi engine conversion in my old 205 Rallye. Added to that, at the time I had not internet access, so finding out about unlocking and that sort of thing was impossible. I tried to buy a complete 106GTi engine with all the necessary electrics from two "reputable" Scottish tuners, one Falkirk based firm refused point blank to supply a package at any price (although they would fit one if I took the car there), the other, wanted £1500 for a engine/gearbox and a further £300 to unlock the locked ECU, plus VAT! So I bought a bare engine locally, re-built it, fitted DTA and TB's for less than that would have cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
