Atterz Wrote:Im seriously debating wether to go down the 1.8 route due to the serious weight advantage there, definatly more Rallye spec! If turboed id aim for a max of 300Bhp and focus massively on the response of the engine as opposed to massive power and loads of lag! Supercharger + turbo on a 1.8? O yes please.
Supercharged, turbo'd, injection engine? I'm not having Peugeot 306 STI on the back of my car!
Would be massively win though.
Kent, easy said than done mate!

Just FYI - there's someone using an Mi16 block with XU5 rods and crank making it 83mm bore x 73mm stroke... That makes it a 1599cc (if you do the calcs it's wrong - that's because it's actually 83.5mm pistons and liners as it's overbored) - that's made 250hp with 12psi on a Rotrex charger...
The Mi16 block is VERY close to an XU7JP4 block, so similar infact you can shove Mi16 liners in a XU7 block - it's only the crank and rods that are really different... Peugeot wouldn't have designed an entire new engine just for a middle range 1.8 - they love recycling parts!
It's got a GTi6 head on a 83mm block - proving it can be done... Just more to say GET IT DONE!

What is the crankshaft rotation on a Honda B18? I'm thinking it might be the wrong way, but making bespoke engine mounts and driveshafts for a Honda lump would probably be less troublesome and easier in the long run! Loads of aftermarket fanimolds for that engine too, so that part would be relatively cheap.
Not the same though, I guess.
Re: 1.8 Turbo - Ruan - 08-05-2012
Wrong way on a B series, yeah, but it doesn't matter, shove the gearbox on the other side, it's been done before...
K Series however
26* slant and everything But then - it'd end up so custom - driveshafts, engine mounts, management, exhausts, cocking up the handling... It's not worth it, the Peugeot XU is a GOOD engine, the J4RS head is an epic head as standard, you've just got to remember they're NOT VVT/VVL - they're nigh on the highest output NA non-VVL/VVT engine you can get from the factory - just needs a bit of work and time and they're a REALLY good engine...
The B series aren't all that reliable when you boost them... The K series is a great engine but then you're looking at £1k for a bare engine alone... You could put that towards some shiny bits for an XU/EW and be there in no time at all.

I'm guessing you don't mean the Rover K-series right?

why not use a k03 off a vag 1.8t, surely freely available as a lot of people sack them off for k04s
