why go to all that hassle? fit & tune a gti6 it'll be easier and cheaper in the long run.and its very difficult. Call Matt at Pug1off for more information. http://pug1.t83.net/ ________________________________________ 205 XU10J4RS by PUG1OFF 236.4 BHP at Northampton Motorsport.Lets Race! |

its nto difficult at all, you need to sort the wiring which you can get them to run with less than half a dozen wires, shorten the driveshafts and cut and strengthen the subframe to clear the diff, make the bottom engine mount in a slightly diferent place too. shorten and re-angle a downpipe to meet the exhaust manifold.I know a guy on 205gtidrivers forum that has made a batch of top mounts to fit these engines ina 205, they'd do the trick in the 306 as well I would imagine seeign as a 306 engine drops straight onto the 205's mountings. doddle for someone who can weld and use a soldering iron  why? because it'll have far more torque than most highly tuned 16v XU engines and have an awesome engine note  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

It's not too bad at all, Cost wise really does depend on how far you want to go, Just make sure the engine isn;t the later D9 version or you have to swap loads of bit's over________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

Easiest was to tell if its a D8 or D9 is the D8 inlet manifold goes "high low high low high low" looking at it, and on the D9 the runners are the same height. |

The one on eBay looks like the d8 version. I'm still not 100% as I've been told that a gti-6 conversion might be more cost effective and less hassle. And probably give me almost as good performance as the v6 due to it's weight...________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

The V6 isnt that heavy. But it does bugger about with the weight distribution. |

a V6 306 will muller a gti6, they keep up easily in the 406 estate...there is a slight weight penalty but thats due to a very sturdy gearbox and clutch that weighs about 20 kilos at least more, but wont shit itself with the prospect of 200 LBFT's  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

For a Road car the V6 is fine, Yes for track work it's not ideal but you will never get oil surge like the XU engine suffer's from so it's 50/50 thereAs WP has said the V6 even in the 406 is quicker than the GTi6 over the ¼, ½ and top speed ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |
