  1.2L 8v - XZ7R

  This page covers the engine build parts listed for the XZ7R 1.2 8v, fitted to the small Peugeot, Citroën, Simca and Talbot models of the 1980s. The range is deliberately narrow: one selected reference, a WOSSNER forged piston set, intended for a full rebuild of an ageing block. Forged pistons give far better mechanical strength than the original cast parts, which makes them the sensible choice for a rebuild or a fast road build. No other part family is currently listed for this engine.
• 

  1.3L 8v - TU24

  The TU24 1.3 8v is the block behind the factory homologation specials: the PEUGEOT 205 Rallye, the 106 Rallye and the CITROËN AX Sport. This page concentrates on the top end, where this small four-cylinder really gains. You will find a CATCAMS performance camshaft that reworks lift and duration, together with a set of uprated valve springs able to follow the new cam profile without float at high rpm. A WOSSNER forged piston set completes the range for anyone rebuilding the bottom end at the same time. Three active references, chosen to work together.
• 

  1.3L 8v - TU2J2

  The TU2J2 1.3 8v is the engine of the PEUGEOT 106 Rallye. This page deals with the bottom end, the part that takes the repeated trips to the rev limiter. It brings together ACL tri-metal big end bearings and ACL main bearings, both of which should be renewed whenever the engine is stripped, plus a forged piston set to replace the original cast items. A set of uprated valve springs rounds off the listing for a full engine rebuild. Four active references on this engine.
• 

  1.4L 8v - TU3J2 TU3JP

  The TU3J2 and TU3JP 1.4 8v is the most widely fitted block in the PSA range, found in the 106, 205, 206, 306 and 307. This page is built around valve timing. Two CATCAMS performance camshafts are listed, one covering the TU2J2, TU3FJ2 and TU5J2, the other the TU3JP and TU5JP, each with its matching set of uprated valve springs. KENT CAMS vernier pulleys then let you dial the cam timing in accurately. The ACL bearing line, big end bearings and side mains, together with tri-metal crankshaft bearings, completes the rebuild alongside a WOSSNER forged piston set with an 18mm gudgeon pin.
• 

  1.6L 8v - TU5J2 TU5JP

  The TU5J2 and TU5JP 1.6 8v are the largest of the 8-valve TU blocks. This page is given over to the rotating assembly. Two forged piston sets are listed: one from JE PISTONS with a 19.50mm gudgeon pin, the other with an 18mm pin, covering both builds found on this engine. On the bearing side, ACL tri-metal big end bearings, ACL side main bearings including a set specific to the TU5JP and TU5JP4, and tri-metal crankshaft bearings cover every journal. CATCAMS performance camshafts, their uprated valve springs and KENT CAMS vernier pulleys round the page off.
• 

  1.6L 8v - XU5JA

  This page brings together the parts available for the XU5JA 1.6 8v, the eight-valve block fitted to the first-generation PEUGEOT 205 GTI and 309 GTI. The emphasis is on sealing and the top end: an uprated head gasket, uprated valve springs and a CATCAMS sport camshaft, backed by KENT CAMS adjustable cam pulleys and a KENT CAMS uprated timing belt so the valve timing can be dialled in. The bottom end is covered by ACL tri-metal big end bearings and thrust bearings, together with a set of forged pistons. Eight live references for this engine.
• 

  1.6L 16v - EP6D THP Gen1 2006-2010 (without valvetronic)

  This page covers the 1.6 THP EP6D of the first generation, built from 2006 to 2010 and supplied without valvetronic. Nineteen live references, led by the complete SUPERTECH range: inlet and exhaust valves, valve guides and uprated valve springs. The ARP fastener range is equally complete, with cylinder head studs, main bearing studs and big end bolts. Also listed are DARTON liners for the N14B16, a block guard, a sport camshaft, a forged crankshaft, forged pistons, an uprated head gasket, big end, main and thrust bearings, and valve stem seals.
• 

  1.6L 16v - EP6C/F THP Gen2 2010-2025 (with Valvetronic)

  The second-generation EP6C/F THP powers cars built from 2010 to 2025 and features Valvetronic, the variable inlet lift system that sets it apart from the earlier EP6D. Sixteen live references aimed at the bottom end and at reliability: a forged crankshaft, forged pistons for the N13B16 and N18B16, ARP big end bolts, ARP main bearing studs and ARP cylinder head studs, plus a block guard to support the bores. The cylinder head side follows with SUPERTECH valves, guides and springs, valve stem seals and an uprated head gasket. Big end, main and thrust bearings in tri-metal.
• 

  1.6L 16v - TU5J4 TU5JP4

  The TU5J4 and TU5JP4 1.6 16v, the engines of the PEUGEOT 106 S16, are the best served of the family with thirty live references, from piston to crankshaft. ZRP leads with four sets of forged rods in 18mm, 19.46mm and 19.50mm gudgeon pin sizes and a forged crankshaft with an 89mm stroke. Forged pistons are offered by pin size and stroke, WOSSNER included, and CATCAMS sport camshafts pair with mechanical cam followers, including the T-shape version. The page is rounded out by SUPERTECH valves, ARP cylinder head studs, KENT CAMS adjustable pulleys, an uprated head gasket and ACL bearings.
• 

  1.9L 8v - XU9JA

  The XU9JA 1.9 8v, a naturally aspirated eight-valve unit, powered the PEUGEOT 205, 309 and 405 as well as the CITROËN ZX. Seven live references are enough to put together a coherent build: the CATCAMS sport camshaft sets the character, uprated valve springs follow the new lift and KENT CAMS adjustable pulleys let you dial the timing in. On the durability side, the uprated PSA head gasket, ARP big end bolts and tri-metal big end bearings take the load. A set of forged pistons completes the list.
• 

  1.9L 16v - XU9J4

  The XU9J4 is the 1.9 16-valve fitted to the PEUGEOT 309 GTI 16 and 405 Mi16, an engine whose potential lives in its valvetrain. This page brings together nine active parts built around the 16-valve head: a CATCAMS AAC Sport camshaft, a KENT CAMS uprated timing belt and KENT CAMS adjustable cam pulleys for degreeing each shaft precisely. Hydraulic cam followers, mechanical cam followers, uprated valve springs and an uprated head gasket support a higher rev ceiling, while forged pistons and trimetal big end bearings look after the bottom end. Listed for XU9J4 and XU9J4Z applications.
• 

  2.0L 8v - XU10J2CTE

  The XU10J2CTE is the turbocharged 2.0 8-valve of the PEUGEOT 405 and 406 TCT. On a boosted engine the bottom end sets the limit, so this page leads with three sets of big end bearings: two KS KOLBENSCHMIDT options, one without oil feed holes (ref. 770) and one with oil feed holes (ref. 772), plus a trimetal set. Forged pistons made for the XU10J2CTE take the boost pressure. A CATCAMS uprated valve spring retainer with its aluminium spacer, a KENT CAMS adjustable cam pulley and a set of four NGK spark plugs complete the seven active parts.
• 

  2.0L 16v - EW10J4S

  The EW10J4S is the 180bhp 2.0 16-valve of the PEUGEOT 206 RC and 307, developed from the EW10J4. Twenty-one active parts are listed and the emphasis is on the top end: eight CATCAMS references, among them two AAC Sport camshafts, one for the EW10J4S and one for the EW10J4. Six valve references cover intake and exhaust from CATCAMS and SUPERTECH, with Ø35mm inlet and Ø31mm exhaust sizes. Uprated springs, mechanical cam followers, adjustable cam pulleys including a 38-tooth CATCAMS item, a KENT CAMS timing belt and an ATHENA head gasket finish the head. ZRP forged rods, forged pistons, trimetal big end bearings, NGK plugs and a SYTEC 340 L/h fuel pump round out the range.
• 

  2.0L 16v - XU10J4

  The XU10J4 powers the PEUGEOT 306 S16 and the 405 Mi16 in road tune. Twelve active parts are listed, most of them aimed at the rotating assembly: two sets of forged pistons, WOSSNER on a 22mm gudgeon pin and WISECO on a 23mm gudgeon pin, to be matched to the rod you choose, together with ZRP forged rods listed for XU10J4, XU10J4R and XU10J4Z. Trimetal big end bearings finish that build. Above them sit two AAC Sport camshafts, a CATCAMS item for the 306 S16 ACAV and 405 Mi16 and a second one for the XU10J4R, SUPERTECH inlet and exhaust valves, uprated springs, mechanical cam followers, KENT CAMS adjustable pulleys and an uprated head gasket.
• 

  2.0L 16v - XU10J4RS

  The XU10J4RS is the 163bhp RS version of the 2.0 16-valve, the engine of the sharpest PEUGEOT 306 S16 and still the basis of Group A machinery alongside the CITROËN Xsara VTS and ZX. Thirteen active parts are online. CATCAMS covers the cylinder head with an AAC Sport camshaft, uprated inlet and exhaust valves and uprated valve springs, joined by mechanical cam followers and KENT CAMS adjustable cam pulleys. Down below, two sets of ZRP forged rods, one of them on a 22mm gudgeon pin, work with forged pistons offered on a 20mm or a 22mm pin. An uprated head gasket, trimetal big end bearings and NGK spark plugs complete the build.
• 

  2.0L 16v - XU10J4RS-K

  The XU10J4RS-K is the competition evolution of the 2.0 16-valve, the block behind the 285bhp PEUGEOT 306 MAXI. It was never a road engine, and the range reflects that: two active references only, so this is not a full catalogue. WOSSNER supplies the forged pistons made for the XU10J4RS-K, a forged blank being the only sensible answer to sustained race loads. With them comes a set of trimetal big end bearings covering the PSA XU9 and XU10 family, the consumable part of any rebuild. Valve gear, gaskets and fasteners are listed on the neighbouring XU10 pages.
• 

  2.0L 16v - XU10J4TE

  Turbocharging is what sets the XU10J4TE apart from the naturally aspirated 2.0 16-valve: boost pressure raises cylinder loads long before it raises the rev limit, and the bottom end has to answer for it. Two active references are listed, and that is the honest measure of this page. The WOSSNER forged pistons are the ones made for the XU10J4TE, forged so that the crown and the ring lands hold under sustained boost. They are backed by trimetal big end bearings covering the PSA XU9 and XU10 family, the layer that takes the extra pressure at every combustion cycle. Cylinder head, gasket and fastener references sit on the other XU10 engine pages.
• 

  3.0L 24v - ES9J4S

  The ES9J4S is the 3.0 24-valve V6 of the PEUGEOT 406 Coupé and the 607: two banks of three cylinders, four valves each, and a breathing curve that rewards camshaft work. Four active references are listed here, split evenly between cylinder head and bottom end. CATCAMS supplies two AAC Sport camshaft profiles, one for the ES9J4S and one for the ES9J4, so both versions of the V6 are served. Underneath, Wiseco covers the pistons with two forged kits for the 3.0 24v, one of which is sold as a set of four. A short, focused range for an engine that is rarely catered for.
• 

  PEUGEOT 106

  The 106 owes everything to its low weight: a supermini that goes racing without giving anything up, from the homologated Rallye to the XSi and the S16. Thirty-four active references cover the car: ZRP forged rods and crankshaft, forged pistons in several gudgeon pin sizes, CATCAMS camshafts and mechanical cam followers, SUPERTECH valves, uprated springs and head gasket, ACL bearings, ARP head studs, KENT CAMS pulleys, VIBRA-TECHNICS mounts and a POWERFLEX torque mount kit. Seven engine pages sort it out: 1.4 8V 75bhp TU3JP, 1.6 8V 88bhp TU5JP, XSi 94bhp TU3FJ2, XSi 103bhp TU5J2, Rallye 98bhp TU2J2, Rallye 101bhp TU5J2 and S16 120bhp TU5J4.
• 

  PEUGEOT 205

  The 205 is the car that put PEUGEOT on the competition map, from the showroom GTI to the carburettor Rallye, heir to the Group B 205 Turbo 16. Twenty-one live references are online: CATCAMS sport camshafts for XU5J, XU9, XY8 and TU24, KENT CAMS uprated cam belts and an adjustable pulley, forged pistons for the 1.9 XU9JA, the 1.6 XU5JA and the WOSSNER 1.3 TU24, uprated valve springs, ACL bearings, ARP big end bolts, a hydraulic cam follower and a VIBRA-TECHNICS engine mount. Six engines to work through: 1.4 8V 75bhp TU3JP, 1.4 8V 79bhp XY8, Rallye 103bhp TU24, GTI 103bhp XU5J, GTI 116bhp XU5JA and GTI 120bhp XU9JAZ.

  PEUGEOT 206

  The 206 was the most widely built PEUGEOT of its generation, and this page covers all six engines: 1.4 8V TU3JP, 1.4 16V ET3J4, 1.6 8V TU5JP, S16 109bhp TU5JP4, S16 136bhp EW10J4 and the 206 RC 180bhp EW10J4S. Fifty-two live references are listed: CATCAMS camshafts, mechanical cam followers, SUPERTECH valves and uprated valve springs, forged pistons, ZRP forged rods, forged crankshafts, ACL big end bearings, KENT CAMS adjustable cam pulleys, an ATHENA head gasket, ARP head studs and VIBRA-TECHNICS engine mounts. Pick your engine in the sub-categories below to see only the parts that fit your block.

• 

  PEUGEOT 207

  The 207 is the car where PEUGEOT changed course: the naturally aspirated TU5JP4 carried over from the 206 sits alongside the THP EP6, the turbocharged block co-developed with BMW and MINI, up to the 207 RC 174bhp EP6DTS. Both families are covered here across 43 live references. TU side: forged pistons, ZRP forged rods, CATCAMS cam followers, KENT CAMS adjustable pulleys, ACL big end bearings and a forged crankshaft. EP6 side: ARP head studs, main studs and rod bolts, SUPERTECH valves and valve guides, an uprated head gasket, trimetal bearings, plus a TURBOSMART dump valve and wastegate actuator. Choose your engine in the sub-categories.

• 

  PEUGEOT 208

  The 208 turned the GTI badge into a fully turbocharged supermini: five engines, all EP6, from the 120bhp EP6C to the 208 GTI 208bhp EP6FDTX, via the 156bhp EP6CDT, the 165bhp EP6FDT and the 200bhp GTI EP6CDTX. The 18 live references on this page therefore serve a single block: forged pistons for EP6C/F and EP6D, a forged crankshaft, big end, main and thrust bearings, ARP head studs, main studs and rod bolts, SUPERTECH valves, guides, springs and collets, valve stem seals, an uprated head gasket, a TURBOSMART dump valve and wastegate actuator. Choose your version in the sub-categories.

• 

  PEUGEOT 306

  The 306 remains the benchmark of French motorsport on the special stages: the S16 ACAV 155bhp XU10J4, the S16 163bhp XU10J4RS and above all the 306 MAXI 285bhp XU10J4RS-K, alongside the 1.4 8V TU3JP, the 1.6 8V TU5JP and the 2.0 16V 135bhp XU10J4R.

• 

  PEUGEOT 309

  The 309 GTI lives in the shadow of the 205, whose XU blocks it shares: five engines, all GTI, from the 1.6 8V 113bhp XU5JA to the 1.9 8V 120bhp XU9JA and XU9JAZ, then the 1.9 16V 147bhp XU9J4Z and 158bhp XU9J4. Fifteen live references answer them: forged pistons in 1.6 8V, 1.9 8V and 1.9 16V, CATCAMS camshafts, a KENT CAMS uprated timing belt and adjustable pulleys, mechanical and hydraulic cam followers, uprated valve springs, an uprated head gasket, ARP rod bolts and trimetal big end bearings. Pick your block in the sub-categories.

• 

  PEUGEOT 405

  Three of the five 405 engines carry the Mi16 head: 147bhp XU9J4Z, 152bhp XU10J4Z and 158bhp XU9J4, alongside the 1.9 8V 120bhp XU9JAZ and 122bhp XU9J2. The saloon therefore gets full sports treatment: WISECO forged pistons for the 2.0 16V with a 23mm gudgeon pin, forged 1.9 16V pistons, ZRP forged rods for the XU10J4, CATCAMS camshafts for the XU9 family and the XU10J4, SUPERTECH inlet and exhaust valves, uprated springs, mechanical and hydraulic cam followers, KENT CAMS adjustable pulleys, an uprated head gasket, ARP rod bolts and trimetal bearings. Seventeen references, sorted by block.

• 

  PEUGEOT 406

  The 406 is the only model in the range offering both a V6 and a 2.0 turbo: the 24-valve V6 190bhp ES9J4 and 207bhp ES9J4S sit next to the TCT 147bhp XU10J2TE, the 2.0 16V 136bhp EW10J4 and the 2.0 16V 132bhp XU10J4R. Twenty-six live references serve these five worlds: CATCAMS camshafts specific to each V6, WISECO forged 3.0 24V pistons including a set of four, KS KOLBENSCHMIDT big end bearings with or without oil holes and a KENT CAMS uprated timing belt for the turbo, forged 2.0 8V XU10J2CTE pistons and spark plugs, SUPERTECH valves, CATCAMS springs and pulleys, an ATHENA head gasket, ZRP rods and ARP bolts on the 16-valve side.

• 

  PEUGEOT 407

  A large saloon, the 407 relies here on a single petrol block: the 2.0 16V EW10, first as the 136bhp EW10J4 from 2004 to 2005, then as the 140bhp EW10A from 2005 to 2011. Ten references, all of them live, make up a deliberately tight range aimed almost entirely at the top end. CATCAMS opens the selection with two camshafts, including the profile made for the EW10A, uprated valve springs and a 38-tooth adjustable pulley. Next come SUPERTECH inlet and exhaust valves, mechanical cam followers, a second set of adjustable pulleys and the ATHENA uprated head gasket. The bottom end is served by trimetal big end bearings alone. Pick your engine below.

• 

  PEUGEOT RCZ

  A standalone sports coupé in the range, the RCZ comes with three EP6 units: the 156bhp EP6CDT, the 200bhp EP6CDTX and, from 2013, the RCZ R and its 270bhp EP6CDTR. That flagship sets the standard for the 17 live references gathered here, all built for the same 1.6 16V turbo. Bottom end: forged crankshaft, forged EP6C/F pistons, big end, main and thrust bearings, ARP main studs and rod bolts. Cylinder head: ARP studs, SUPERTECH inlet and exhaust valves, guides, springs and collets, plus valve stem seals and an uprated head gasket. Boost side: TURBOSMART dump valve and wastegate actuator. Three versions, three sub-categories.

• 

  TALBOT Samba Rallye 79cv XY8 1983-1986

  The sharpest version of the Samba, the Rallye built from 1983 to 1986 takes the XY8 to 79bhp and was designed to be homologated for competition. Four live references, chosen for that job, sit directly on this page: the CATCAMS Sport camshaft shared with the CITROËN Visa GT and the PEUGEOT 205, CATCAMS uprated valve springs listed for the XY8 and the TU24, ACL thrust bearings and ACL trimetal big end bearings. That is the honest minimum for rebuilding an XY8 meant to be revved without neglecting how the crankshaft is held.

• 

  TALBOT Samba 1.4 8V 72hp XY8 1981-1986

  Built from 1981 to 1986, the standard Samba 1.4 8V makes 72bhp from the XY8, the same block as the Rallye version but in its original specification. The four live references on this page are aimed first at restoring a classic engine: ACL trimetal big end bearings and ACL thrust bearings to recover correct clearances on reassembly, CATCAMS uprated valve springs for a tired cylinder head, and the CATCAMS Sport camshaft if you want to wake the engine up without taking it out of character. All four parts are shared with the PSA TU24.
