wozza Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Yes the 1.6 engine is the same as in the C2 / C3 and saxo, 106, 206, 307. Quite a common engine and lots of parts are available but do not expect much in the way of power gains. It may even feel like the car is more sluggish with it fitted due to pulling in more hot air from under the bonnet. Quote

wozza Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 They are all identical bar internals. The 106 gti, saxo VTS and C2 VTS are the same car with different cams and mapping i Believe the only way you can tell is that they rev past 7000rpm compared to the 6500rpm of ours. The engine is virtually identical though. Anything that will fit the C2 / 206 etc will go in the C4 it just might be a bit different in location due to the C4 bay not being identical. But parts should be the same. Other people have put 206 parts on the C4 so don't worry about it. Quote
dave-t-c4 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 Cheers for that. can anyone post a image of their c4 1.6 with a induction kit fitted? Quote
wozza Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 There are a few people with them fitted on the C4owners.org website best trying over there. The C4 section on here isn't quite as busy as it used to be since 90% of the people moved to the owners club website. Lots more to be found on there as well with guides on just about everything. As well as the ability to receive discounts on parts from certain companies including induction kits etc. Quote
