I am hoping to have it done and on the road end of May start of June 15, but there is no rush.
What i like most about this engine is that it was a factory design turbo engine with a 8.0:1 compression ratio. And it is a strong unit. In the 406 and the Xantia they are both big cars so the standard 150bhp would feel a bit sluggish. But in a 306 running at 15psi coupled with the 6 speed box its bloody fantastic.
As for what would be quicker I don’t think there would be much in it, the 6 has the ability to rev high, but the TCT has the low down grunt. Funny enough the TCT block is exactly the same as the gti-6 block, i was wondering if you could fit the gti 6 head to the tct block?
I am looking to upgrade the Turbo to a Nissan 200sx s13 GT25 but there is not much room for a larger turbo. The other option would be to get the standard turbo rebuilt with a gt25 turbo cartridge and a 360 degree thrust baring, up rating the injectors and FPR, running 20psi of boost would see the engine go to around 240bhp, but I would also have to switch management and 240bhp is around the limit for the BE3 gearbox. For now though i want to achieve the 200bhp mark, so i hope i am not to far off that, running 15psi, race air filter and exhaust.
I am please about the cooling side though as that was a big worry, i have two 12 inch high power fans running a standard GTI-6 Rad and as i said in my last post left it running for a hour and it never rose above 90 not even when i drove it round the yard.
The beauty of it is there is a lot of stuff from the gti-6 that interchanges with this engine, so having a gti-6 engine was not a waste of money.
