XUD in a 106?

[underground375]

Hi all I don't no if this has been asked before but I maybe getting my hands on a very tasty ph1 106 derv. A hole 1.5 of Smokiness, Question been could I fit a d turbo engine in the little 106 engine bay?

[Toms306]

Yeah it'll fit, it's been done before.

I don't know much about the fit though, think the engine mounts need moving, and you'll need to make some custom driveshafts at the least.

[Danny2009]

Been done before yea they do fit but not a bolt in job

[rocker8742]

It's been done a few times, iirc needs custom shafts a bit of the chassis legs trimming and engine mounts modifying are the main parts

[underground375]

The 2 areas I no nothing about. Custom engine mounts? I could come up with a way of doing that, but custom drive shafts? Sounds hard to me!

Bit more info in diggers thread here: http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/showth...p?t=177264

Cutting the chassis is for the gearbox to fit in

[Owen_G_]

yes it cant be done. You will need 205 drives and a 406 inlet. And you will have to create a new engine mount. alot of cutting involved to get gearbox to fit also but worth it in the end up

[underground375]

Im liking that

[Chris_90]

I'm looking in to it again read though loads of threads were people have done it before alot of custom making things tho, if your not handy with a welder it will cost you a fair bit paying some one to do it.

Like clutch cable, gear linkages, drive shafts (I have my doubts about 205 one's fitting) engine mounts, notching chassis leg for gear box to clear, cooling etc etc

As said I'm looking in to it again as fancy buying a new car but every time I look at New cars always come back to 106, think a 106 would be epic power to weight ratio with the right mods!

[welshpug]

I think it would be a far better exercise turbocharging the TUD5, or buying a 205.

[silverzx]

It's basically a pain in the ass from the projects I've seen!

[Danny2009]

Do it chris I'll donate a few parts If you do

[Chris_90]

Do it chris I'll donate a few parts If you do

Need to find another 106 for a daily first maybe next year I will start it. But don't hold me to that as many no I change my mind daily

[Danny2009]

Then a return line done and I am almost ready to go!

[mikey b]

Go for it would be good

[strictly_perv]

As said a lot of effort.and after being in my mates stripped cammed 16v 106 XSI I'd drop one of those straight in! It shifts bloody well and is pretty good on fuel too

[mikey b]

Yep Craigus on here is putting a 106 gti lump in a 205 that should be good
