I converted my Miami blue special edition 1.6gti to an mi16…retained the 1.6 gearbox. Absolute weapon back in the late 90’s, early 2000, destroyed sierra cosworths and Audi tt’s at the time without issue 👍🏼 As many have said, it’s not all about horsepower figures, especially when the cars so light in the first place.

This thing must be a monster. My phase 2 106 was around 180 brake and used to rev off the clock and scare a lot of bigger 'faster' cars. And that was a proper riot of a car to drive quickly this must be awfy lively. Awesome video as always.

I had one of these 18 years ago when I was 19, such a nice little car. mi16 with a 1.6 gearbox and it would give so many big boy cars a run for their money up to about 120mph and that was a standard mi, that one must be an absolute rocket with that horsepower!

[@DirtyI30N]

Always loved the naturally aspirated tin cans. Mate of mine had a 106 gti on throttle bodies. His brother still has a 500bhp 106 turbo. I always preferred the bodies somehow. Just the right amount of power.

[@monkylondon]

True words Zak! Any chance of a review on the 500hp 106, [e-mail] if interested 🙂

[@edh7492]

I’m building a vts turbo, I’ll probably try to make as little power as I can before I turn it up but the engine is fully forged so that will happen inevitably! May have to put a billet crank in though, when I have a “spare” £1600 kicking about… 😵‍💫

[@TheBlaert]

The XU9J4 is an absolute peach of an engine. In my opinion the best sounding 4 cylinder ever. I have one of the few remaining Phase 1 405 Mi16's with a full stainless Mongoose system, set of cams and rev limit increased to 8.1k. Sounds insane after 4.5k rpm. I actually used to have a bit of a dislike of 205's due to the amount of 405's that had their engines pilfered for conversions!
