Does anyone have info on the 406/306 2.0 16V engines, how strong are they or not as the case may be? will they handle some boost? any info or links apprieciated

 

There are a couple of different 2.016v engines in the pug range.

Depends which one.

Karl has turbo'd the Mi16 and said his GTi6 was rebuilt (by him) with the idea of turbo charging at some point

BUT

The issues are the gearboxes I think...

Its not something thats done very often to be honest.

Try the 205 drivers forum- but be carefull of people who know more than they think they do....

 

the Mi16 comes in 2 forms
alloy block engine.. and 1905 cc
and iron block which is 1998 cc i think

the 2ltr ones are slightly heavier, and produce less power than
the 1905 mi..
but im not sure if they get the same oil surge troubles.

 

Its the later 2.0 16v engine I'm interested in not the Mi16.
I need to produce 250hp with one.

 

started already i see Mr B!!!

 

A mate has a S16 engine in his 205 which a think are the same engine with 45'''s and cams think it made just over 200bhp if this helps

 

i'm led to beleive, and was told last night that the gti6 engine, has a refind oil pickup system and dont suffer oil surge the same as the mi16 1905


this is a possible route i mayeb taking

 

Do you have any more info on this, I will run throttle bodies or end up doing a turbo kit I think. I got lots of fuel system parts and a DTA management here so might aswell use it. T3 or something similar, just need to know about this oils surge business and what the rods and pistons are like

 

What you up to Mr...

 

Who me??? nothing honest!!

Ha ha, I need to put a motor together for my track car pictured, It had 270hp and lapped very fast and I want similar horsepower. dont need more.

 

I did wonder what that was... Saw it hanging up or something in another pic, from that cossie onion thread..

Will be down friday, you about

 

Its upstairs. Your car has moved back into the tube work area!
Friday is fine.

Back to this engine anymore info before I go buy the wrong base.

I think this engine will be the same as the s16 engine and the later 2 liter 16v iron blocked Mi16 engine. I'm pretty sure a good few people have turbo'd these on www.205gtidrivers.com so it would be worth a search/post on that forum if no one on here knows.

Being iron blocked with no wet liners like the Mi16 it should be good for turbo'ing I would have thought.

 

Thanks Phil, i'll have a look.
