Welcome along

You will need a 306 throttle cable,£14 off the bay spanking
Do NOT alter the angle of any engine mounts
Master cylinder to engine clearance can be a problem,best idea is to trim some out of the rear cambelt cover,then you could need to trim some off the rear of coilpack cover/cam cover,but its really only something you will find out once the engines in.
Get a set of BBM uprated engine mounts,if your engine is close to master cylinder they will help stop it touching.
Re-angle your exhaust manifold or modify bulkhead,manifold is easier option.You can get them allready done for circa £100,or if you can weld apparently all you need to do is cut threw the exhaust manifold branches from underneath with a 5mm thick grinder disc,cut threw untill you can bend the exhaust down to take up the 5mm gap then re-weld

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, IT AIN'T A GTI6

Oh..... how do i resize the pics lol Guess computer skills are not too great.

Hi,


Re-angled exh manifold, buy or modify? > Buy from Miles off ebay.

- Wiring loom, have contacted Spiky about one of his modified looms > Good

- Throttle cable? do i need a longer one? >Yes the 405 one is perfect as it can be attached to the pedal side of things. Best cable tie it behind the exhaust though or have it p clipped to the right hand side back cam cover, over the engine.

- Alternator mounting? do use the '5 alternator or the 6 one ? Use the 6 one, you can either use a cam belt tensioner under the belt attached to the engine mount bracket. Or like i have with a 6mm flat long bar with a long hole along the inside middle of it, so the alternator can bolt to it with pushing the alternator downwards then tension and bolt up.

- Oil pressure adapter, ive seen a couple of people use it but dont know where to get it
from ? > eBay again, Miles does the cheapest one around (mishor). You will need to use the 205 gti mushroom type shaped pressure sensor, then RTV it to the adaptor so no oil comes out. You can use a bolt or another sensor at the side of it.

The gearbox side of things well > If you want to keep the same driveshafts then you need to use the 205 gti diff with the VTS/GTI6 diffs main large diff drive cog onto the 205 inner diff. Use new seals and especially the one where the speedo housing bolts to the diff. Lots of peoples leak thinking its the shaft seals. Its a black circular one. Then use a 205 gti gear selector arm then the same clutch arm. Some other cars have the same ones as well. The dog leg shaped arm on top of the gearbox is the one that needs changing.

You also need the S16 speedo VSS where it has the plug and manual drive sensor in one, unlike the 205 gti one that has just the manual type.

No need to tilt the engine its a waste of time. Keep it natural and then either slot the servo holes over to the right so the servo is more to the right away from the cams. Every 205 is slightly different, some go straight in some are a pain, its down to the build differences. Yours might be fine like mine was. Or use washers with sealant between the bulk head and brake pedals/servo.

Best to keep the GTI6 brakes as bigger brakes are always safer, up to you.

Xsara VTS is almost the same gearing as the MI16 and is the most popular. 6 gearbox means you have less steering circle.

Use photobucket for pics its now has unlimited storage for free. You can change the setting so you can have small thumbnail pics that can be uploaded by others to see it bigger, Neater imo.

There's no doubt something iv missed, but thats about the most of the conversion.

Hope this helps
