Hi guy´s, I know this is a forum only for gti6/rallye owners and my 306 isn´t anyone of those but as I am a really enthusiastic of this engines I would like to share my car with you.

Some time ago I read a threat saying that this forum isn´t the same anymore and the projects section was a little bit "dead". I know I´m a newbie and I´m from Portugal but I visit this forum almost everyday since 2011 that was when I bought my 306 and not only think you´re a great family but also saw a really interesting threats with a serious level of knowledge.
This forum showed me first how to install a gti6 manifold in my "small" 1.8 16v engine, then show me how to swap an entire engine/box, and recently, how to supercharge my XU10J4RS and it´s for that reason that I´ll show what I´ve done so far.

To be clear, I only bought my 1.8 16v (xsi here in Portugal) because the gti6 it´s a very rare car and expensive to...The only one for sale at the moment is at 4200£ standard.

So here it comes...

My first engine!



Several photos when I was ready to fit the gti6 engine















Powerflow Cat back and the final result








Supercharged





I´ll have to buy some new bits soon like 21mm torsion bars, hybrid ARB, roller bearing wishbone bushes, lower strut brace, gaz coilies, etc, but what I really need at the moment is some brakes as I still have the standard ones fitted btw, if someone have a set of 4 pot brembos for sale drop me a pm

Hope you like it,and sorry for some bad English..

Cheers

Hi John, yes all the mechanical parts were bought in the UK

Oh, Except my S16 engine that i never installed...

Loving your project mate, have you had your car rolling roaded yet?

Hi guys, this Christmas I received a good gift from Santa





V6 Brembo, braided lines, 288mm Xantia discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads. I didn´t fitted it yet but I know the next step is getting some tarox discs to avoid the epic squealing noise..

Cheers

Thanks Mik I´ll update as soon as the brembos are fitted

From changing a manifold then onto engine change and fitting a supercharged conversion!
Excellent work, looks like you've learnt s**tloads and gained loads of mechanical confidence working on it!
Awesome work

A little update on this as I have good and "not so good" news, starting with the good ones today arrived the coilovers from Jammapic



the other news...

I went to fit the brembos in my OZ Racing WRC 15" and it don´t fit by 5mm (more or less) so I´ll have to look for some spacers

I have too much work and university exams this month and as much as I want to build it again quickly there´s always something missing..

I have some questions too, for low boost NGK Iridium and Castrol GTX 10W40 will be any good?

Yes I know but the car is without engine for about 3 months and I really want it on the road asap

What heat range do you advise?

Yes I know Royal Purple will be probably the most indicated for the SC setup but as you said there are a few threads about some different oil to use... I guess it will be fine then

I think armz has some 5mm spacers?

Hi guys, I know there´s a long time since I made the last update in this project and the car isn´t the same but now that I finally had some more time and money to spend I would like to ask if anyone here can help me so I can end up this "beast" soon..

So, the car currently have a forged engine to go high boost:
- Does anybody know whats the number of the "blue" wire behind the fuse box (LP pump) that I need to connect to the high pressure pump?
- 10W50 insted of 10W40 for high boost use?
- will it be plausible to use the same ngk iridium spark plugs as used in low boost?

Thanks!

I´ll get some photos soon

Btw does anyone have the T piece that is located between the vaccum pump and the inlet manifold pipes and connected to the brake servo?

Thanks
