The pistons in the XSI are different so I wouldn't recommend it. The block is the same though.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

It will fit yes, but you will be down power due to the lower compression of the XSi engine.You could fit GTi pistons but it would be a lot easier to just find a GTi block. ________________________________________ Rich |

Stick a thread up in the wanted section and see what comes up. You can get a whole engine for £400 ish.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

that's not a bad price!or if you intend of re-polishing/grinding changing bearings etc I have a block you can have i just spun a bearing so the block is fine but the internals are shot! block it's self is spot on! it's in Sheffield if you want to get it? ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |
