Have you seen the stock JP4 exhaust manifold!!! It's just ASKING for an adapter plate for a turbo!!!
Ruan, I have a tu5jp4 206 with a fkd gearbox laying about. I have been looking into mega squirt and bolting the gt2259s onto. Maybe a td04/5. Do you think it could make 300bhp on standard block? Was going to flog it for peanuts otherwise..
Standard issue JP4 with a f*cked MA box...
Easily doable man, the usual problem is the pistons, but I rekon rip off the head, get the pistons in a lathe and take a bit off to drop the CR and you'd be laughing...
If you can get a set of J4 cams out of a 106 GTi and put them in the JP4 head, then you get the high lift J4 cams and the big valvetingz of the JP4 head...
Though I do hear valve springs are also an issue in them, but give it a go first, keep it under 7.5k or so, I rekon you'd see 250hp at sub 12lbs of boost if it's efficient enough, course that depends on the CR.
Only issue is the inlet manifold as it's plastic... You'd need to convert to a J4 cable setup as the JP4 is a flybywire POS. But I rekon a J4 manifold with a ratchet strap around it to hold it together and you'd be laughing
With regards to the EP6 engine, management will be your problem, they're MED9 iirc as standard which aren't easy to map and I've not seen one yet that has been transplanted. Not many management systems sub £1k that'll do DI petrols.
