Would the 406 SRI 2.0 Turbo engine fit in a 206 gti ?
Presume its same size as current 206 gti engine + if it could be done that it would be a lot cheaper than going to ecosse for a turbo conversion.
Any thoughts ?

Engine transplants are a lot more complecated than just finding a donor car and ripping the engine out. You need to make sure you take the 'box and clutch and some of the beefier drivetrain. This might not fit in the bay and could need alteration work, plus the plumbing and wiring will be different.

So not that straight forward then..............
A 406 3.0 v6 conversion would also be nice.
Has anyone with a 206 ever had one done ?

So not that straight forward then.............. Errrr No!!!!   Probably somewhere, I think it was discussed here once mounting a 3.0 V6 or Chevy 4.6 in place of the rear seats like the Clio V6, but we kinda decided that it was a bad move. Probably something for Monster Garage to undertake. |

Why go for the 2.0 8v turbo engine they arn't much if any quicker than a 2.0 16v jobbie
Not to mention how much trouble you WILL have trying to get every thing in there

I've seen a 3.0 V6 in a 306 done by ecosse so if you ask them and hand over a your arms and legs I'm sure they can drop one in a 206
