hello
I pritty new to the forum but i thought this would be best place for some advice on my project.
I am hoping to transplant a gti-6 engine etc in to my mint 1.6 xs 306.
I have previously owned a gti-6 but due to a substantial commute it just wasnt practical so i bought back my XS. The xs was my 1st car and 4 years later we have been reunited lol.
In theory i should just buy a gti-6 but hey everyone loves a good project.
If anyone has any useful advice it would be very much appreciated.
I am currently on the hunt for a good gti-6 engine and box

im not 100% sure but i think the sub frame needs to be changed over to and xu style 1

also make sure the ecu is unlocked and the wiring cut before connecting up

i've done 6-7 conversions (all on xu cars) so if you want any pointers give me a shout

the loom is my biggest concern

They do work 1 way i just cant remember Smile

im sure its tu engine (1.6) will fit in an xu subframe but an xu engine wont fit in a tu subframe

also the 6/rallye rack is shorter to stop wheels fouling the box on right lock

all conversions i've done all i've done on the loom is cut the 3 transponder wires, plug in and away to go
