Peugeot 205 XS - 1.6 8v VTR engine on Bike Carbs

Quick slide show and basic talk through on my Peugeot 205 XS engine conversion.
Converted a Saxo VTR mk2 engine into my 205 using R6 bike carbs using a R6 fuel pump and 205 XS distributor
Inlet manifold and bike carbs are from Danst Engineering

Very cool and inspiring! I really liked you explaining the process

[@eamokearney]

I did a vtr conversion on my on 97 1.1 106 and used a 1.6 rallye loom so it basically was a plug and play job. I then went and fitted a set of toyota 4age throttle bodies and a 1.3 rallye cylinder head and the car was like night and day. The 1.3 rallye cylinder head made a huge difference.

[@XxFamouScopexX]

when you put bodies on the car, did you just splice the loom together?

[@eamokearney]

No i didn't need to do anything. I just left the tps unplugged and it worked fine 🤣

[@henriquesilvestre4078]

Cant you put carbs as intake and use the injectors?

[@eamokearney]

@@henriquesilvestre4078 yep you can do that

[@henriquesilvestre4078]

Fantastic, I have the same car with standard engine. This will be my first mod. Thanks for sharing

[@petrolpaul]

Hi I'm glad you liked it! Runs much better than the old carb and sounds great

[@asdfasdfwdas]

@@petrolpaul i think that if you used some flat pz34mm with powerjet no membrane you will be amazed.

Thanks for this dude.

Love it mate your doing good keep it up

Nice video! You’ve earned a new subscriber

[@grymbathym635]

Power difference and fuel consumption difference ?

[@gurjindersingh199]

Now you need an exhaust header made up for it :)

[@petrolpaul]

I had one made shortly after I did the conversion just didnt have any clips at the time to add into this video. The 4-2-1 is definitely worth it

[@jeancharlesrabaux5658]

Just the courroie the distribution is soo good in polyuréthane blue yeee is big robuste

[@henriquesilvestre4078]

Did you use the stock injectors to inject?

[@johnanderson6630]

What did you get the running gear off to run your carbs

[@theofrancois4575]

hello what is the reference of your gearbox? I'm on the same assembly with the 1.6l 306 cabriolet engine. I just have a problem with the installation of the left gimbal which does not fit completely ...

[@Brickworx1]

Did you re-jet the carbs ? I’ve never done carb conversion just curious

[@johnanderson6630]

How did you put it on carbs please

[@jdwar]

Hello, I have a question about that crankcase breather. Is there any fear over oil clogging up the filter and/or hot air in the engine bay harming the head? Thanks, and fantastic video! Hoping to see more!

[@petrolpaul]

Hi the crankcase filter in this video I have seen done before on Tu engine but that was only a temporary fit for me. I didn't have any issues but I did install a oil breather catch not long after as its a much better idea. Then vented to atmosphere through the filter from the catch can.

[@petrolpaul]

Only issue I had with heating was the old radiator was leaking and then burst, dumping all the coolant which resulted in over heating. Also some of the old hoses where perishing and the rear water outlet seal on the back of the block leaking. Old cars over time will come up with wear and tear issues so always good to check/replace those. I replaced with new hoses and a 205 gti radiator which resulted in no cooling issues at all.

[@jaggass]

Bike carbs sound better than K&N air filters.

[@seppeach8548]

what gearbox, drive shafts, and front struts did you use? standard from 205 or from 106 or..?

[@petrolpaul]

Not sure on the gearbox if I'm honest. It may either be the original XS gearbox or one from a 106. I use the original 205 driveshafts and haven't had any problems, I would of used the 205 drivshaft bracket that bolts onto the engine as well. Front struts are coilovers installed from a previous owner that can't be identified.

[@johnanderson6630]

What is the X's

[@danielearl3916]

Did the carbs make much of a power difference?

[@mick123789]

Nice simple conversion using the 205 ignition! I have done a VTS engine in my 205 1.4 rallye, what did you do for the rear water outlet back of the block? Did you keep the 205 flange and hose, assuming you are using the 205 radiator. Thanks

[@petrolpaul]

Pretty sure the outlet position is the same on the VTS block. You can buy an ally rear water outlet from Bakerbm or Spoox and should probably fit the standard bottom rad hose. If not bakerbm do a silicone hose for a Saxo VTR that fits. Might have to trim the hose down depending on the radiator

[@poyarn]

Do you have customs for d12/ph12 civic engine eg hatchback

[@titomeca64toti23]

Hello! How much hp with this confirmation?

[@Humber511]

Hi Petrol Paul, I'm putting these carburetors on my 205 1.4 with TU3S engine, which jets you recommend me to start ? Thanks...sorry for my english

[@petrolpaul]

Hi depends if you block off the air correctors ect. I would possibly start with around 1.6 jet size and see if you then need to go for a bigger jet size or smaller from there.

[@louisDonlan]

Hello, my 8v vtr engine has the newer coil pack ignition rather than the distributor, is it a straight swap to put the distributor as I'm wanting to run bike cars as well, cheers.

[@petrolpaul]

Hi it is a straight swap over as that area of the head casting is the same. You will also need the housing for the distributor to swap over and use a decent RTV sealant to fit it to the head. You might need the water outlet that the thermostat is on for the head as well. You could always keep the coil pack and run a ignition only ECU like nodiz

[@MrTripletone]

Hi can u share your rejected carb settings please .....thanks how much up down from the original great car 😊

[@petrolpaul]

Hi John I started out with 1.6 jets and worked from there. Every engine is different and few different factors like blocking main air jets effect main jet size. Think I will upload a video trying to explain some of this

[@samuelpaim2377]

Bom

[@hugoleroux487]

Carbs from what bike?

[@petrolpaul]

Yamaha YZF R6 - 5eb carbs

[@avishant1407]

Hi, any idea which is the best bike carbs to use on a Citroen BX14 with a TU3 engine?

[@petrolpaul]

Stick to smaller ones like R6, gsxr600 srad, cbr600, zx6r, yzf600 and such like.

[@avishant1407]

@@petrolpaul cool, thanks😉

[@miguelgoncalves3987]

Does the engine still run to this day?

[@brodiemorey2]

no details on dvla most likely car has been scrapped at some point

[@mercedesgarage2919]

Size of jets?

[@petrolpaul]

I haven't blocked the air jets so I drilled them up to 2mm in the end to get the correct AFR WOT. If it was staying a NA build I would of blocked them off and started at around 1.6mm (160 jets)

[@martimmalfeito672]

Hi, does it run without any electronics? What is plugged on the ecu loom

[@petrolpaul]

Hi when you say electronics I guess you mean the ECU. I didn't install a ECU as its carbs and distributor ignition so none of that was used. The bike carbs sorted the fueling management side and the dizzy sorted the ignition. I just wired in a simple fuel pump via a relay from a R6 bike. Ignition didnt require anything as I used the stock distributor ignition setup on the new engine.

[@petrolpaul]

Although it doesnt need a ECU and runs fine on the distributor setup I will be installing a ECU for when I supercharge it

[@martimmalfeito672]

So the starter is wired to the old loom

[@petrolpaul]

@@martimmalfeito672 starter is on the old loom. The old alternator was also used. No modifications was made to the wiring loom.

[@martimmalfeito672]

Petrol Paul Thank you very much!
