sorry didn't read the thred! DOH, I was thinking that, if I upgrade the engine to anything its gonna hike insurance (other than another 1.4) I thought the R5t would be quite good as its only a 1.4 but with a Turbo on.

what about a 1.6 out of a 405 will that plonk in?

it should do. I believe the 1.6 in the 405 was the same block as the visa/205 gti but it only had single point injection so was 85bhp or something like that. It would bolt straight in but you have to think about stuff like possibly needing the wiring loom, ecu, are the fuel pickups the same and so on. Also if its an early 405 with a be1 gearbox then reverse will be up to the left and so you may need to modifiy gear linkages etc.
what specs your 1.4? is it injected single point i guess, 75bhp? simplest thing may be to try and find a smashed up ax gti (not gt) on ebay which had the 95 (or 100??) bhp 1.4 which is probably your engine but with multipoint injection and a few other changes which would probably be a simpler task.
re: r5 seriously doubt engine mounts are the same and yes its a 1.4 but if you mention the T word they will request you bend over and give them your bank account etc

The think that puts me off a 1.4 MP is it sufferes the same probs as the SP but has a water leak to boot. But having said that my SP 1.4 has this oil leak and its done 85K, so if I fix it, it should last for another 85K??
Ooooh I dunno!

was a zx for sale on ebay, a 1.4 that claimed it was a limited edition race series one that did 140mph ie total idiot selling it

ps: when are you planning to pick up those bits and did you work out directions fine etc?

I mean the much talked about ZX with the "racing" engine in thread:

Don't worry about getting confused easily, it wears off with age! (i.e. you don't remember enough to worry about forgetting it).

There're two 2.0 16v engines available in the Xsara which, judging by the pictures in the handbook, are substantially different.

Naahhh,
forget all these little toy cars your talking about. Go out and buy the *real* thing. ie: A Citroen CX (with proper suspension), and make it a CX2500 GTi Turbo, it'll eat most of those little pretend citroens for breakfast and spit out there springs & shockers [:D] [}:)]

seeya,
