1. Theres a edit post button.2. This is a GTi6/Rallye forum. 3. Type in full and readerable sentences, with proper grammar and spelling. 4. The 8v engine is a bit crap TBH so theres not a lot really worth doing to it. Mi16/S16/GTi engine etc is a better idea, both time and cost wise. 5. Sort the handling and brakes etc. first as theres no point in power without control. 6. Wear well with it. |

In fairness madhead1985, c_j_m hit it straight on the head.The time and money spent on this, you would be far better off getting a better engine and installing that instead. Would be cheaper and quicker too by the time you have faffed around. Also the amount of room to improve your engine is not alot at all. This is a GTi-6/Rallye forum, doesnt mean you can't ask, but use abit of inititive. We aint gonna tell you its worth investing all your money on a low spec engine now are we Save yourself alot of hassle, wasted money and time, sell your current car and get a 6' if you want performance that bad. Thats what i did with my old 306 1.6 LX  If after all that you are still sticking to your guns, then the money would be far better spent on getting the tires done while also getting the brakes upto a good standard too  , but then agian the amount you would spend there, you might aswell sell your car and get a 6'.A 6' would be better at stock than you could put into tires and brakes for the same money. anyway ill shutup now. ________________________________________ Team allesclar ® |

Eric Fail there CJM on the spelling front - wtf is 'readerable'?  1. Welcome to the forum. 2. Drilled and grooved discs aren't going to help you much, so save some dosh and get decent OE discs next time round. 3. Ditch the shite greenstuff and get some Ferodo DS2500 or Mintex 1144 pads instead. They actually work unlike the Greenstuff. 4. Get some GTi6 brakes on there. No idea if they will fit but someone on here will know. You might need to upgrade the master cylinder too. 5. At least refresh the standard suspension for good quality stuff. Bilstein B8 or Koni dampers and Eibach springs are a good entry level setup. You can upgrade the rear TBS and ARB to something better by using Xsara VTS ones. 6. Engine - I would personally leave it to simple breathing mods. If you start going for a new cam etc then you might as well sling in another engine. Overall you'll gain more from better brakes and suspension than anything else. If you can make it lighter then do so. Lighter 15" 7" wide alloys can make a huge difference with good tyres. Michelin PE2s are a lot better than the proxies and last a lot longer. They also are considerably lighter and help acceleration. You can go to 195/50/15s to help save some dosh, but the speedo will over read by about 5%. Hope this helps you a bit! ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I went for the S16 engine swap, but TBH, it was not really worth it. ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |

The 8v engine can be cammed (1.9Gti) and you can fit a better exhaust manifold but for much improvement you need to fit a better engine.Brakes- what you have done will make a little improvement-a lot if the old ones were shagged. GTi6 front brakes, discs,calipers and pads with braided lines will make a huge difference and are a straight fit. The prxes are a perfectly good upgrade from budget or ditchfinders. New shocks, O/E spec and eibach springs are well worthwhile.

tbh, for a basic to light tuned 2.0 8v lump, the standard 266mm brakes provide MORE than enough stopping power (with decent pads/discs mind)so no need for the heavier gti6 setup ________________________________________ Team WheelwhoreTeam Limited Edition Astor 306 Francorchamps RIP Virtual Blue 208 GTi quote: I this place.

drop a 406 or 605 2litre 8v turbo in it, you can pick the engines up for about 150quid, drops straight in, my mate a joiner managed to fit his, and you can get 180 to 200bhp out them easy.and get some gti6 brakes. ________________________________________ In my garage just now2003 BMW M3 & 2009 L200 Raging Bull & Audi Q5 S Line AX stock rod & Saxo Stock rod Sold the bike an charged rallye an bought a caravan, midlife crisis or what! |
