Right, im looking at getting a V6, and im just wondering how it possible to pass an emissions test as the emissions will be so much higher compared to the 2.0.Will a new working 2.0L cat be enough for the emission or should i look to get two cats welded into the exhaust system ? could i get a better cat ? ________________________________________ Team 6 Cylinders |

If you engine swap properly so recorded on log book then emissions rules will be for a v6 |

Oddly they seem to insure modified cars for less than if it was standard  ________________________________________ Ryan |

How much will it affect the tax if the emissions are higher then? Does the same apply to supercharged cars since the emissions are through the roof?________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

All down to the mapper, if he's a lazy bugger, probably not.I know I will do my best to get a cornish map, and probably use even less fuel than standard. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

yep, I went down to Saltash with my mate DCC and used less fuel on the way back on bodies than it did on the run down on standard inlet, even with a few warp 5 tunnel runs.One of Sandy's highest spec TU5 engines returned about 42 mpg IIRC on a run back from mapping, that's a 230 Dyno bhp 225 ish in car BHP from a true 1600. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

No need to worry or have a CAT from what I have been told, as the engine was not fitted originally the emission test will default on to a 3.5% CO when you change the engine type on the emissions recorder ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

how exactly would we prove the age? most testers i know would tell you to feck off if you presented them with paperwork/engine numbers from a donor car. then again there are testers who are willing to shove the lambda probe up another cars exhaust pipe to get a pass |

Yeah usually,unless your building a kit car like my m8 did last year using a 1989 Uno TurboIE eng,he had some trouble getting paperwork to prove the age of that eng for IVA test  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Would the engines V5 be enough, its just the XU10 engine isnt the best at keeping the engine code and a V5 could be any engine.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.
