The engine fits and the gearbox fits the engine.

I won't start an argument Wink
Figures: 150/155@6500 HP vs 163@6500 HP, 182@3500 Nm vs 196@4100 Nm
If the Mi16 in question is the 2 litre, not the 1.9L version

The power difference I belive is 7bhp on paper between the mi16 and gti6 and the main diifference would be the management depending on what type of mi engine it is.

I used to run an MI16 in a 306 many moons ago, it fits without mechanical modification however you probably want the later engine with the catalytic converter to get the car through emissions come mot time.

if you get the loom / ecu / box / engine itself it'll drop right in. if you use the later mi16 (s16) engine, 1995 onwards with the iron block, it has the cat so will have the lambda wiring anyway so i see no reason why it wouldn't plug and play. the only problem, even with the older engine, i'd imagine with the engine is the radiator and pipework rather than the engine/loom itself

for what it's worth i have an s16 (1995) engine in my 306 and it was a "direct fit" - i needed to buy a new rad, pipework etc though

the difference between the two mi16 engines are power-wise quite small, they both have their pro's and con's though - and the gti6 is the newer choice really

We've done 2 swaps, although those were upgrades.
An S16 and a GTi6 engine both into 8V XSIs.
Loom + ecu came with the engines, no problem there except for the speedo - needed a new wire.
Rad hoses were different for the GTi swap, needed that from the donor along with the rad.

oh yeah the speedo wire was an issue with mine too, rewired it using an xsi 5spd box, not hard really

I don't remember anything difficult when I did mine, the wiring is simple to work out, I think from memory I just had an earth or two, permenant and switched live, fuel pump and rev counter. All your guages use some of the existing loom. Rad hoses can be cut and joined easily enough.

I don't remember my MI16 feeling particularly quick in the 306 though, it was an early engine though the later one with more torque would probably feel better.

What made me laugh is the front end lifted by about two inches with the lighter engine, I had to use 60mm lowering springs otherwise the headlights were pointing at the moon!

Funny thing is, I dont feel the 162HP performance either, probably because it doesn't come as a shove in the back, but rather builds up over the RPM range.
I only have my VTi to compare it with, sort of the same, except that the Honda revs higher and stronger while the Pug feels to have more power in the 2000 - 4500 RPM regime.
