Yeah but it doesn't matter. It will still pass as a R engine, it's not like it will be checked throughout - I will have the papers about it being the R engine from my 406 and that's that.. They check that the engine is mounted correctly and that fuel lines are acceptable. In Finland you will have to take the car to the mot after making changes and the changes will be written to the cars registration papers.
Like if you change the suspension, wheels, engine etc. On an engine swap you'll get papers from Peugeot Finland that state the differences and changes needed (like if you're starting with a minor model) for the car to be equalent with the best model available (and if the car is already the best model then there are no changes) and also the information about the engine being swapped (power output, displacement, emission classifications). It's quite easy, if the +20% power rule doesn't go over, there is also a +25% rule for displacement but it's not a big deal with Peugeots.. Tho' V6 is not an option here because of it
When I took my 306 to the mot when making the change from XSi->S16 it was mostly paperwork. The inspector came outside and popped the hood, checked the fuel lines and that was it. He went inside and made the new papers from the documentation I provided him. He didn't even measure the emissions (well, because they where measured earlier and they were still valid).
But enough about that, I'm not even sure if I will put the engine to a 205 or something else, will the engine work the way it should? Haven't yet checked the specs anywhere but is there a big difference in compression ratio between R and RS?
