I had a 205 mi16 up until about 2-3 months ago it was at a garage for repairs an the idiot left it outside for a week an vandals torched it :x :cry:

ive now been offered a mint 205 1.9 gti foir really good money so will just need to find an mi16 to install

[gis]

the 1.9 gti is a fast ass car anyway

i know the Mi16 is faster,can i ask what the stats are on that engine,like performance and power

[chaos]

mi16 is an all alloy 1.9 16v

160bhp (add a little touch more tho cos u need to run a cone filter as the airbox wont fit, and the 205 exhaust is better than the original donor ones)


allowing for a touch of extra weight (engine is ever so slightly heavier than the original 1.9) your looking at around 183bhp per ton. And thats b4 any other mods.

couple of the 205 owners have been clocking low 15's and high 14's on the quarter mile in mi16 converted cars.

thats cool.and the 205 car is light so any extra power goes a long way.would u keep the engine as it is,or would u be planning so more mods to get above 200hp?

[chaos]

well the plans with the one i had b4 was to put some 45's on and maybe some hotter cams (raising the rev limit to 8k odd)

will probably do similar to the new one. i should see roughly 180-190 bhp with that, more than enuff to be getting on with in a 900kg car
