pug/citroen V6 lumps

No, Rob, a V6 BX isn't a good idea.

It's certainly *way* beyond what you can do on your drive.

You won't get one in the BX anymore than you got a V8 in the Punto :-)

I've heard they're ideally suited to a transversely mounted, mid-engined, FWD setup on a BX.

I think you'd be much better off going for silly power out of the lump that's already in there myself. Supercharger and turbocharger, that sort of thing.

pfft not that bad

seen 2 put in a 205 before :) :) :)

He could build a 4TC Evo replica:

Didn't Matt Faulks get near 200 BHP out of an n/a 16V BX a few years ago? Cams and head work mainly iirc

looking at options for a reliable bit power and cheap fun toy :)

oh well bang goes that :)

the good thing about the V6 is its all alloy design (but so's the mi )

hoping to crack 180 horses on the 8v with standalone managment and tb's

Why not spend a couple of hundred on an Mi16 engine instead? Pour the same amount of money in and you'll have 200+bhp!

Or the 2.0 Turbo CT engine.

In fact find a knackered Xantia Activa and then put the engine and the Hydractive suspension into your BX. That would be awesome!

Except: The reason the Xantia is knackered will be something like failed hydropneumagically adjustable glibshafts. If you put the system on a BX it would just be a knackered BX. (c:

Rob's BX didn't even go the last time I saw it!

i'll send you the vids douglas all the hydro pnumagiggle gubbins working freely and the bix spitting flames when backing off the revs :)

Maybe, maybe not. Find one with a knackered engine and you'll be ok - plenty of other places to find one of those!! Or use an XM. You can get a working one for peanuts!!

of those!! Or use an XM. You can get a

why bother already been offered a bix 4x4 minus engine for free :) :) :) almost tempted to slug a v6 into that and go play silly buggers :)

you think????

i made a 205 go on my driveway once :)

cant be worse than a valver nova conversion :)

straightforward drop n play job with the psa parts bin :)

LOL, and you think you had problems with the 205? Why do you think the 4x4 is free?!!!

Besides, it's still just a BX at the end of the day, it wont have the hydractive suspension!

because the engine is kaputsky

I think it's an excellent idea myself. Ideally with Activa suspension.

Well, yes, in theory, it's an excellent idea.

But this is Rob's idea. Which means it'll stop at angle grinding the front of the car out.
