Hello everyone i am undertaking the task of building a 405,it has a 2.0 8v engine from a 605 peugeot i am wondering what mods i can do to get it around or above the performance of a toyota 20v engine. I was thinking about swapping the head for a 16v head but i`m not sure if it will work because i read that the oil and water holes dont line back up, also if this swap works what other parts would be needed to complete it?

You would be much better off just fitting a complete 16v engine, loom and ecu, a gti6 lump would be the best to go for or an mi16/s16 but these are harder to find in good condition. you would need pistons and rods etc if you were to put a 16v head on an 8v bottom end, also the block on a 16v has oil spray bars which the 8v wont have. Your money would be better spent on a gti6 engine, put some uprated cams in and have a remap which would see around 190+ BHP. |

Ok thanks i taught that the 8v engine would have had some sort of potential in it, unfortunately for me i live in barbados and there arent many if any gti6 cars here that i know of.I will have to look to purchase one from online and not everyone in the uk wants to ship items over the atlantic to barbados. |

People are STILL considering the levin as a bench mark for performance? Jesus... Turbocharger the 8V and use a Garrett GT2871R and you will have roughly 280-290whp on the 1.9 8V. Thats almost double what the 20V makes  ________________________________________ INAEngineering.Com |

4age is a very good engine, practically that the 1.6 type r ,rs colt,and nissan 1.6 vrz are on the same par.All those engine give the same performance in bhp as the peugeot gti6 engine |
