IIRC it was the EW's and not the XU's that were fitted to the coupe. The saloons had the XU10J4R. No idea on the inter-compatibility of the XU's and EW's, but at a guess I'd say it's harder to go from EW to XU because of the angle difference, though if it's big enough for a factory fit V6, it's big enough for an XU!________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Cool, i hadnt thought of the angle issue  Just wondering if a high boost engine might be better suited in a coupe, although it would probably be better charging the V6.________________________________________ Just Drive It |

there's a normal 2.0 coupe with the 16v xsi engine in [xu10j4r]. slownessyou could just buy the 2.0 one and bang the gti6 engine in it, some v6 4pots or something.. bit boring though. what about a berlingo van with a charged six engine  that'll be what route i go down when i get bored of 306's________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

There was a guy at FCS 09 in the paddock that had some form of Renault van (kind of berlingo size) that had an RS Turbo lump in it.Went pretty well Funnier thing was when I was chatting to him in the paddock, he said he used it as his daily van  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

the early 2.0 coupes used the XU10J4R. Walking was faster tbh but it would make for an easy transplant. ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans. I may have been speeding Mr Policeman but [a] I live for the 306 and [b] did you see that dog? omfg |
