Hi, need some help from gearbox boffins...
Car is a peugeot 206 with the 1.6 16v engine, fitted with the chocolate ma5 box. I want to swap the ma5 out for the stronger be4 box as found on Citroen Picasso's. I know this is a popular mod with the Saxo/106 lot, but can't really find any info for conversion on 206/306's. I think the berlingos use the be4/tu5 engine combos too, so I'd imagine it should be easier to bolt up the be4 to a tu5jp4 converted 306 instead of the 206? With regards to readily available shafts and hubs, linkages?
Basically, I haven't a clue as of yet. I've still got to look into it all properly. I know the gear sets can be swapped to help make the ratios more suitable. What's involved? Can it be done cheaply?
The idea being, I have a 206 xsi lying dormant with this engine and a knackered box. If I can get a stronger be4 mounted, then I can look into lashing a turbo on it and mega squirt it for all it's 206 gayness and sins. A test mule before the setup possibly finds it way into a 306! It's a non starter without the be4 though.
Cheers,
