Hi all, i'm new here...

I know this is the nth repost of this topic, i was searching first for existing topics regarding this modification, but i haven't found good answers for my questions.

The thing is i want to put this engine in my 306 next year, i was gathering a lot of information but still not enough to make me want to start it.

Things i know / i don't know:
- The engine fits the bay
- The weight problem is not that big deal (since i'm not having a gti6 and my suspension is totally custom i think i can set it up to make it usable, and my current engine is iron (XU10J2) but the V6 is alloy)
- The lower mounting looks totally the same like the XU's, but is the position the same or do i have to make a custom mounting?
- The upper mounting is not the same i saw on photos but i thing i can make an own, is it very difficult?
- The ES9J4's transmission's upper mounting is the same like the BE gearboxes or do i have to make an adaptor for this?
- The GTi/XSI driveshafts have 24 grips at the differential side and 25 grips on the wheel/hub side. The 406 V6 driveshafts have 37 grips on the differential side and 25 on the wheel/hub side. The Renault Laguna V6 driveshafts have 26 grips on the differential side and 27 on the wheel/hub side. Thats obvious the original GTi/S16/XSI shafts cant fit in the differential. The 406 shafts are longer so, they can't fir. The Laguna shafts can't fit the hub. So what's the solution? Is it possible to use the differential endings of the 406 shafts and put them on the GTi shafts?
- Is it possible to put the BE3 differential in the V6's gearbox? (keeping the big gear of course)
- Is the differential in the same distances of the wheels as the XU engine's gearbox's?
- I know the V6 gearbox uses bowden cables for changins the transmission, so i guess i will need the complete structure from the interior of the stick. Is it possible to use the original 306 in a way or do i have to put the complete stuff?
- I checked the shematics and i think i can do the connections, is there any other trick that i should know?
- Is the 1.8i/2.0i cooler radiator enough for the V6 engine?

I think this is all for now that i should know before the modification, i would be very thankful if somebody can tell me what i need to know especially if such person tells me who actually did this mod already to a 306.

Thank you for the answers in advance!

Wow, thanks for the fast and satisfying answers!

I'm a bit worried about the welded driveshafts, i can't really do that so i have to ask someone to make that for me and i don't really trust other's job as my own.

But fortunately except this it doesn't sound as bad as i thought.

Thanks again!

get thirdtimelucky from 205 drivers to do the shafts. Got mine spot on and £25 a side.

as for the gearbox mount id double check. On my 309 it was too low and i had to make a custom mount. 306 might be the same though

The length of the shafts entirely depends on the engine mounts you use and where the engine ends up in the bay. There is a bit of float on them and they aren't balanced as standard so don't worry too much if they aren't 100% straight. You'll feel if its bad.

The subframe cutting/welding and routing the PAS pipes took us the most time, along with the clutch system. Getting around the immobiliser could be fun too.

Its worth it in the end - my newly 250lbft impreza is only just starting to feel as quick 40-120mph
