106 track project.
Discussion
A friend of mine has a 106 1.4 quicksilver for a track project. Looks like the engine is lunched. This is a low budget project and will be built in his garage.
What engine would be the best option to fit. Would the 106gti 1.6 "fit straight in" or is it more work than just a bolt in jobbie. Any other engines or setups worth considering?

what about the old favourite Mi16 or Pug 306 GTi-6 lump?
if your feeling really fruity - V6?
Remember the man`s got a 1.4 106!! with 1.4 suspension and brakes?? anything other than an uprated TU engine would mean a major conversion job,lots of skilled work and lots of dosh.if your feeling really fruity - V6?
The Mi16 or GTi-6 lump would be a fairly mammoth task to install. It can be done, but not easily or cheaply.
The best bang per buck option is to fit a 106 GTi engine and gearbox. Find a write off of similar age (make sure the ECU's are either single pin or triple pin....one loom won't fit the other) and transplant all the bits over. Then flog whatevers left that isn't bent!
Of course the easiest way is just to buy a GTi or Saxo VTS in the first place!
