That's my point Carl, i understand how they work etc, but never taken one apart. And as you know taking apart is the easy part re-assembling is the tricky bit.________________________________________  Seat Leon Cupra FR / 306 GTI6 / Breaking 205 GTI6 / Caterham 7 / Mercedes Sprinter 311CDI LWB Sold: Fisher Fury - Laguna DCI Estate - P1 306 XSI - E30 BMW 325i Baur Convertible - Daihatsu Fourtack - Suzuki GSXR600 - 205 Rallye |

One of our first practicals at ag college was to strip out a massey fungus box - i was collared for being 'clever' - laid it out on the bench how it come out so our tutor mixed it all up But striping the clutch packed ford boxes was a drop in the deep end - so many bits its untrue  Still haven't stripped a car gearbox mind Pugs lookin sweet by the way ________________________________________ Cad Monkey will work for chocolate biscuits....I'm not kidding |

A 1.9 box just isnt suited to a 16v engine at all and a mi16 box seems a little long winded to me unless your planning on doing loads of motorway miles in it. If you using for road only and not planning on going to any tracks with it then your probably not on a bad idea using the vts box but personally i would go 1.6 gti box. |

Is that box out of my old shed Carl? If so try adding another 25k to that ~100K miles ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.

Not really done a great deal more to this project at the minute as i am waiting for various parts to arrive.Although i did receive a fly wheel and a few bits back from the powder coaters, manganed to fit all the pullies, new water pump etc and fit my modified engine block bracket for the engine mount. A few teasers, starting to look very pretty-   Heres the bracket i modified with a rather large stil saw, cut the brackets off for the power steering pump, a bit the same way you would if you were fitting the supercharger kit, once this was done i sent the bracket away to be powder coated (its an addiction i tell you )Obviously you dont cut the brackets off if you car is equipt with pas, mine isnt.  Just waiting for the gear box casing to come back from the powder coaters then the engine and box are ready to be mated back to the engine bay. Once the engine is sat in the bay i have another sump that has been........ yes wait for it..... powder coated Not fitted that yet as i fear it would get mangled as the engine is slid along the floor whilst fitting it.Still undecided as to whether i should have the bay re painted as in some places there is the odd mark/scratch and dare i say it some surface rust  Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

Theres a 2.0 MI16/s16 top mount what is ideal for your situation, used together with a 2.0 8v alternator bracket and tensioner. This setup is more lightweight and leaves more room round the inlet manifold so makes getting to the starter motor and other jobs like that easier in the future. Saying that tho the last gti6 engine i put in a 205 i did the same as you and just cut the pas bracket off.You will also find that when you come to plumbing in the coolant system it will be nothing like the original 205 setup, mainly the hoses from the heater matrix and expansion tank will all have to change. Ive seen a lot of people using various t-pieces and hoses which i think looks a little un-tidy. Best thing to do is get a the housing from the back of the block from an s16 engine which will make use of your original heater matrix and expansion tank hoses |

how does all this powder coated stuff cope with the heat? i had a manifold on my engine originally and it seemed ok but cam covers i know are hot very hot as i nearly burnt the tip of my finger off . i am thinking of having my brakes done soon but am worried that as they are iron even if they are cleaned will eventually rust under the powder and make the stuff lift off. would imagine it is a lot easier to keep clean than polished metal i do hate having to polish my engine to keep it shiney. with all this work carl i think you will kick yourself if you dont finish the engine bay to the same standard as the rest of the car. do love the blue in the 205 i only really noticed them years back when they started doing them in this colour as i was a ford nut then who drove a fiat???hurry up with this carl as it is the most interesting thread i have read in ages ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

i thinking off running my 205 gti6 on a 1.6 gear box but i spoted the crank senser in the 6 box but 1.6 boxs dont have them so it wouldnt run. i was wondering how to get round this as it seems like loads of you have done it before ________________________________________ 178bhp 205gti6¼ mile in 14.2 |

Early BE1 boxes dont have the crank sensor hole and to be honest are avoidable at all cost anyway as they have a stupid clutch arm setup too.Project is looking really good! Maxi ________________________________________ 205 GTi6- 250BHP205 GTi6- STD 306 GTi6- Black Phase 3 |

how are you dealing with the issue of the cam covers being close/striking the master cylinder?hoping to be doing a similar conversion to this in the near future... ________________________________________ Team Moonstone� Ph3 GTI6Team Rallye |

On the ones i see its not the cam covers that sit close its the cambelt cover, some people just cut a small section out but i have heard of a mounting that makes the engine sit lower, i think its an escort mkII mounting or something.I will look into it a it more when i come to mount mine.

I will look into it a it more when i come to mount mine. Carl The room you have seems to differ with every 205. Personally I wouldnt use anything but the std 205 mounts (group a ones). Using an extended bottom mount and lower top mount can cause other problems like premature driveshaft failure as the shafts will be at a different angle. also the gti6 sump sits lower than the 8v sump on std mounts so lowering the engine down makes it even closer to speedramps There is also quite a bit of movement on the gearbox mount so if you slacken off the 2 13mm nuts holding it to the battery tray you can get a nice long bar in there and prize it over so theres more room for the master cylinder. Hope you get it in soon so you can fel the difference in a 205 |
