300bhp hmm a bit optamistic but i know nowt about this car only
what i have sussed out myself, it has coilovers up front and some sort of electronic pump to raise and lower the rear end garret turbo on mi16
engine 4+4 intercooler cozzy management.split rims big brake's and 4wd
to boot it's got a t16 body kit on it and is rott free albe it very dirty so what
do you think should sort out ok with a bit of tlc it's not run for a
while but i'm assured it will as it was running fine when parked up
lets hope he's not telling porkie's


i will take some better pics tomoz with digi cam not my phone lol

Is it a turbod Mi16, or a proper T16 from a 405T16? TBH they almost the same thing anyhow (same block n head)

Cooool as fuck tho, be interested to find out more.

How did you hear bout it?

What it cost you?

Pistol Pete

What a spec would I be right in thinking that is based on a 'regular' 205 and is front engined? Should be a real flyer when running right What are your plans for it?

TEXAS PETE

Lovely find! Am sure it won’t be to shy of 300BHP when it’s running.. 4x4 as well!!!

Moonstone Cossie

what an awesome car u'd need shot if u break it for bits

badnews

well i was told is was a t16 but engine in the front casts dout on what it is
the engine i am assured is genuine t16 i'm off to give it a wash and take
some decent pics any info would be cool, as i would like to find out a bit
more about it. cheers for any info oh ya it was a bargin the ten hour drive
was a ball acke then the haggle over the price went well and made it worth
the trip oh level 8 ecu was a find lol

Are you gonna keep the same colour scheme mate

should clean up well

Stavros

It wont be a 205T16 engine, itl be a 405T16 engine which is basicly a turbod Mi16 and VERY good.

405T16s are well rare, made only about 500 of em, 2litre 16v turbo, Magnetti-Marelli managment, 1.1bar boost std, overboosting to 1.3bar, 220bhp standard, 47-53 front rear power split, 1350kg, 15sec 1/4mile.

Engine name- XU10J4TE
Bore/Stroke- 86x86
Capacity-1998cc
Compression- 8: 1

Runs a chargecooler as standard.

Also as standard it runs a variable vain T25 turbo, heres how it works-- http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?hl...1%26safe%3Doff

Ive seen modded ones running fookoff great T4s etc, supposedly well tuneable.

Itsmeagain you are the man i though someone would shed some light
on the origin's of what is and thanks again

s&mmotorsport

The car was just from down the road from me, and it was MIGHTY quick, not seen it for a couple of years, I knew whereabouts it was sitting, but from what I was told, the guy who owned it wouldn't sell it.

Stavros

No probs matey, glad to help, keep us informed how you get on with it, its fookin quality.

(I went buy 4x4 cossie powered 205 once when i had my cossie, had cash in hand too, but was too late, sold within 30mins of the ad' appearing )

badnews

well lots of tfr and hot water and danzi she's come up a treat, so i
now know a bit more today after looking round it and it runs a t3 with
48 housing 4+4 intercooler level 8 ecu has got areo tec labs tank
strange rear suspension alcon front brakes and cozzy rears the exhaust
and manifolds are a work of art and look the nackers all apears to
be a quality i'm well pleased with what i'v found so here's a few more
pics after i cleaned away years of neglect







well thats about all i'v got time to do give it a wash lol
i will change oil filters and cam belt before checking compresion
and for leaks before i consider even starting it so it will have to
wait till next weekend before i get the chance to start it

Stavros

The rear suspension-- SOME 405 T16s came with the funny electro-hydraulic suspension, maybe its been fitted to the 205 along with the rest of the transmisison?

Anonymous

Sounds like thats the conversion to me....

405 t16 into a 205

Shame its not a 205 t16

needs a new map, greens and t34 tho mark

GtiMad

What a brilliant find! Well done mate, bet you are chuffed!

Martin B posted up a link from http://forum.205gtidrivers.com to it I had to register to say top effort (also got a massive soft spot for Mk1/2 Escorts!).

What's the story behind the car, do you know mate? Should go rather well, does it actually run yet? (I know you have only had it 5 mins, sorry!).

Let us know when you get it running if you want to get it out on track, us in our (slow and dull by comparison, lol) 205's are at a track event most months.

All the best,

Richard.

Brigsy

looks well hard mate, if its a t 16 engine rare as you like springs to mind

badnews

as i'm up to my neck in it with work at the mo, but rest assured i will
sort it out and come along to a trackday wih you 205 lads
