skanny 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Call me contorversial seeing as this is a GTI forum but i was asked a question last night as to whether you could fit a 2.0 diesel HDI out of a 306 into a 205GTI shell..............? Why you would want to do this apart from economy reasons is beyond me but i dont know enough about the compatability of peugeot model cars ie 205 shafts fitting the 306 diff or the 306 shafts fitting the 205 hubs etc to give an answer. I guess it could make a decent project if anyone wanted GTi handling and Diesel economy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wiring.... well thats another matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim.Badger 15 Posted February 13, 2008 IIrc the 2.0 won't fit even though the 2.1 will, I think this is because of the turbo charger on the 2.0 (2.1 is N/A). If this is true you may get away with modifying the bulkhead or fitting a smaller turbo, or if you are lucky re-angling the downpipe. I can't remember who it was but someone on here knows what will fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshpug 1,632 Posted February 13, 2008 the HDI will go in, I've seen a Laser green GTi with a 110 HDI engine chipped up to 130. unfortunately I have no other details of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianthemagical 1 Posted February 13, 2008 are the HDi's not DW's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brianthemagical 1 Posted February 14, 2008 the diesel version of the EW. that being the new engine in pugs, like the 206 GTi engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainK 11 Posted February 14, 2008 the HDI will go in, I've seen a Laser green GTi with a 110 HDI engine chipped up to 130. Bet that shifts. More so than a standard 1.9 Gti I'd guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim.Badger 15 Posted February 14, 2008 Sorry, I thought the 2.0 and 2.1 XUD engines were both HDI, but apparently not. Wiki has a few details, but is obviuosly wrong in places as it says the 2.1 was N/A but I have double checked and there were 2.1 TD engines. XUD Engines EW and DW Engines Given that the 2.0 HDI was fitted to 306s I don't see much of a problem squeezing it into a 205, but like I said before the exhaust may interfere with the bulkhead.

One of my mates dads had a 205 STDT(?) when i was at school and at the time i thought it was the dogs danglies, GTi trim etc but Turbo diesel power. Was it the STDT? I cant find much about it on the net. was that just the 1.8 diesel with a turbo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It had a 1.8 TD without intercooler, GTi wishbones, vented discs and I think the springs and rear beam were similar to the 1.6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
