soap.mactavish 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Hi all I have just got a complete gti6 engine and box to put in my 205 but thinking of using an old 1.6 g/box I have kicking around with it now so I keep a good s/lock but not sure on the fuelling, would it be a good idea to go down the bike tb rout as I’m not willing to pay £1500 for Jenvey throttle bodies. any other ideas?

Richie-Van-GTi 72 2 Cars Posted August 31, 2008 Try and get an unlocked ecu and loom for the 6, even a locked ecu plus unlocking feee will be loads cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soap.mactavish 0 Posted August 31, 2008 does any one have a list of none 205 gti /306 gti6 bits I will need for the convertion? i`v done plenty of 309 1.9 whole front ends into 1.6 205 and mi`s swaps in my time but never a gti6. I`ll try and get a step by step gide on hear as i do it or mayby after if only its a two day`er . but i`ve had them qwik 10 min jobs before that end up taking all day (I think most of you know what i mean!) going to start it later this week so we will see...

hodgy 0 Posted September 1, 2008 1 re angle the exhaust manifold 2 find a shorter belt so you can by pass the air con pump and power steering 3 find a way of making the 205 water pipe fit the 306 (that little box thing with all the sensors) you can buy an adapter from BBM 4 fit an MI16 1.9 clutch if your wanting to fit a 205 gear box im still waiting to find out about the wiring as im just getting all my bits together ready to start in a weeks time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alastairh 47 Posted September 1, 2008 Thats impressively optimistic but sadly you have no chance. Deffinatly. Got it completely wrong. 205 Down pipe needs shortening and the 6 manifold needs to bereangled. Theres loads of threads on this conversion from the last 12 months. Soon to be as popular as the old Mi16 oil surge debate... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron 16 Posted September 1, 2008 Get a Mi bottom end, you won't have to re-angle the mani then. As for the hose, get an ally connector and use half 6 hose and half 205, then you won't have to pay the £extortionate for an adaptor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was banking on not having to mess with that nice work of art that is the gti-6 manifold where can I get a ally connector from?? i`m not going to try and get a good MI16 bottom end , as most have ether been to the moon and back big ends ground to nothing or too dear. but i am greatfull for all help and advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 75 Posted September 2, 2008 If its the conector you have removed in the Pic, Bakers Bushes and Mounts sell them, and allow you to use the Std 205 top hose. i have one on order ATM think, he is stew205 on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
