A possible way to an easy 300bhp???

Ok, me and a friend are shoe horning a Peugeot 3 liter v6 into a 205 Gti. Thing is, after looking at it, it seems extremly similar to the ones found in our cars. Not only that but ive spoted a turbo conversion from DP Engineering that looks like it will fit the bill. Did Renault and Peugeot ever merge to produce or use a v6 together? one we are using is from a 406. Now if this is the case,I think the turbo kit i see will fit.

pretty much the same engine

IMHO, the biggest issue for me with any turbo conversion is procuring/fabricating exhaust manifolds and the resulting location of the turbocharger(s) for plumbing, turbo support and heat dissipation ... If you can sort that out, especially with OEM parts or a ready made conversion, then your well away ...

That and compression ratio of course but that can be achieved, though not ideal, using sandwich plates between the head(s) and block ...

Also the Renault Alpine GTA V6, of course, has a V6 turbo engine so this may provide some ideas on layout and manifolds etc.

lets see some pictures :approve:

its a Pug/cit/ren shared lump (the clio V6 unit has a higher comp ratio and different cams i believe)

i think the "standard" lump is something like 10:1 comp

Heres the companies site. The quality in my opinion looks second to none. Not only that but look how compact the unit looks. The turbo would sit right by the left hand pod.

Being under educated in these matters I must ask why the power figures are not great?

Power:
Flywheel power @ 140 kPa;
265 hp @ 5245 rpm
434 nm @ 4397 rpm

I thought this too but to be fair this was on a stock engine that originaly had 185bhp which means it was a gain of around 80bhp. Add that to a Ph1 and we would be looking at 310bhp and on a Ph2 around 330bhp maybe more as the inlet is better. No doubt once the C/R is lowered more boost can be safely used hence bigger gains but before that gearbox and clutch issues may need solving
