Wouldn't be too hard to do, but the real question I'd raise is why would you do it? Unless the 16v as a car is hard to find where you are. Personally if I was going to the trouble of transplanting an engine, I'd fit something that was never fitted as standard. Xsara VTS 2.0 16v, Xantia Activa 2.0CT...

The 205 boys used to simply adapt the existing 8v wiring and control to run the MI16. I believe the 8v 4x4 does not have the same controller as the 8v normal saloon. My understanding is that the 8v 4x4 control system is one of the best to use with an Mi16, meaning stick with what you've got! From m...

First of all, I am not going to race nor will chip-tune the car. The idea is to merge 4x4 with 16v to get an ultimate BX that Citroen should have made, but did not. 160PS on a car just above 1 ton will be more than enough for me. I am not going to race. As it is a long-term project, I just want to g...

Comparing the motronic ML4.1 and motrolic M1.3 what are the differences? According to Wikipedia, 4.1 controls all injectors at once and 1.3 controls two banks. Furthermore, 1.3 seems to have extended diagnostic capabilities and knock sensor feature. If I would take a catalytic version with lambda se...

Which 16v engine is considered to be the best? There are at least few modifications. D6C seems to be the better choice. Is it?

To do it right is seems a lot of things would have to be changed. I did not think about the rev counter and stuff like that. In that case your suggested donor with rear end gone would probably be the best option. There are some projects involving 16v and 4x4 merge, but technical details are quite sc...

8v to 16v conversion

Greetings everyone! I did some searching and did not found any data on this topic. I am curious whether it is possible to convert 8v GTi 90kW engine to 16v engine. Are there additional differences than different head? Is it worth the hassle? Maybe it would be more reasonable to simply find a complet...
