Yes you have it mounted correctly in that respect, what Hezekiel was meaning was to rotate just the black rubber bit by 90 degrees so that the force of the engine moving forward/back is being passed through the solid bits of the rubber, rather that through the hollow gaps. This should lead to less engine movement, although with a bush from a transit I suspect it will have quite a lot of movement anyway.
Measure the size of the bush and see if you can get a solid rubber one, that will be much better!
Oh and yes the internal spline is larger on the V6 shafts, the shaft is a much bigger and hollow shaft.

Oh and yes the internal spline is larger on the V6 shafts, the shaft is a much bigger and hollow shaft. I don't know if I'll be able to get it out without ruining it! I can get a polybush set for it, not too expensive either www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Front+Lower+Engine+Mount+Kit/140.htmlTo be honest though I don't mind if it has movement, there's enough clearance everywhere and I don't want noise and vibrations. That's the main reason I used the Audi mounts to make quiet and vibration free  Ah that's good to know, I'll probably use them instead of 306 gti6 ones then!  |

Looks to me like its designed to allow a little movement in that direction - I think the point made about it not being sandwiched top and bottom may be more of a worry looking at the connect photo.
Nice build, hope it comes together as well as it looks like its going too.

Hey...haven't update for a while, not too much progress but there is some!  this being the main reason there hasn't been epic amounts of 205'ing..  It's painted in the same paint as the 205 & is getting a Nissan GA16DE engine fitted in the next few weeks! The orange mini you can see in the reflection has a Nissan CG13DE fitted, this will be it's bigger brother  sooo 205 progress.. I've heard people talking about a product called Deox-C, used to remove rust. Thought I'd buy a kilo and try it! It's a powder that you mix with water and put your rusty things in and they come out clean. no need to wire brush & no nasty chemicals or smells....hmmmmm here's what the hubs looked like after being soaked in gunk degreaser and rinsed  then submerged in 10 liters of water with 500g deox-c  24 hours later:  Took them out of the solution, rinsed then with the hose pipe (i also had to dip them in rust converter diluted with water because they're bare metal and were starting to rust within minutes of being rinsed  )  I have to say I'm sold, brilliant stuff. no wire brushing or grinding and they're cleaner than I could've got them! Painted and new bearings pressed into the hubs  New bilstein B4 dampers and Eibach springs fitted..  fitted to the car (Margaret ) also fitted new bottom arms, 309 gti items because they're longer   I got the driveshaft lengths measured, then proceeded to chop up the Audi & Peugeot shafts. Then they met the welder.............  Short shaft, passenger side  Long shaft on the drivers side (helper dog wanted to be in the photo...)  The long shaft is fouling on the turbo oil drain pipe, so I'll need to re-angle the pipe slightly   Then I we did some more on the wiring  |

Looking good, I see you went for the V6 shafts/cv joints in the end, good choice. They take some serious abuse.

not sure if its been mentioned or you know it, but those 306/xsara hub carriers will give you positive camber compared to a 205/309 hub carrier even with the 309 arms.
not a massive hurdle however, if you send them to bridgecraft engineering they can modify them to an appropriate camber setting for you.

I know but not too bothered for now. Maybe in the future I'll get them corrected, I needed new bottom arms anyway so got the 309 ones just to reduce the +ve camber a little! How many degrees out do you think it'll be as it is now? Cheers :-) |

I need a new fuel pump, as the 205 has a low pressure tank pump with no return line.
Does anyone know if I fit a GTI pump in my tank will that be able to supply enough fuel? I have a 3bar fuel regulator in my fuel rail, same as a 205 gti
Cheers!

Anyone?  Some info I found... A 205 gti's fuel pressure is between 2.9 & 3.1 bar, and it's fuel pump flows 540cc/15sec. Is this at 3bar? Or open pipe flow? the VAG 1.8t AUM engine has 314cc/min @ 3 bar injectors so 4 injectors at 100% duty cycle would be 314x4= 1256cc/min the 205 gti fuel pump flow per min would be 540x4= 2160cc/min that seems like plenty but I'm not sure if that flow is at 3bar or not? Can anyone help? |

a gti pump in fine fettle will be enough for about 280 bhp IIRC (they flow around 180 lph IIRC)
I don't think the gti pump will fit your tank so the best route is to swap the whole unit, you can get adapter kits from Bridgecraft engineering to fit a Walbro 255 lph pump, the original ones were larger diameter and taller

I could get an inline pump and use the standard in tank pump to pump to the inline, then fit a return to the tank...hmm might work out cheaper and less work with more potential when the hybrid turbo happens! 205 gti pumps seem to be ~£60  |

£60 is about the ballpark for any replacement fuel pump at the minimum.
I've never done much with the non gti stuff really so can;t comment on that I'm afraid but the gti tanks do have some small baffling/basket which will help against fuel surge though its a bit hit and miss whether they have them or not.

I've done some more research and the hole in the tank for a gti looks a lot bigger! So I can get a gti tank & pump as one option Another option I could do is fit a tank pickup (off I diesel I think) and use that as a fuel supply and return and use an inline pump It'll work out about the same cost for both options. Hmmmm decisions!  |

Any more progress on this? Interested to hear how you've wired it all.

Looking good, bet you can't wait to get it on the road! I seriously can't wait  The insurance on my BMW runs out at the end of November, so ideally needs to be on the road before that... |
