Citreon DS4...possible parts swaps?

http://benzs.blogspot.com/2012/02/ci...g-concept.html


I don't really know anything about this car other than it develops 256 horsepower and has a prince engine in it.


Does anybody know if parts from this car could be interchangable with MiniCooper S or JCWs?? I would have to imagine there are atleast some... any info would be appreciated!!

EDIT- Sorry, that is from the DS3 Racing, but it should be almost like that. Lol

Exactly "what parts" are you interested in?
Do you have a cliff-notes list of what's been hopped-up on the DS4 1.6L? Is it a variation of the N14, or N18?

Most horsepower boosts on existing engine platforms are mainly small mechanical components changes in conjunction with different ECU programming.
By the time you source parts, pay the international freight, and install them, you could be getting the same power with state-side aftermarket suppliers.

I was more interested to see if there were any swappable parts, because the car makes 256hp which is impressive! I wasnt looking for any specific parts, just wondering if anybody had insight! Thanks
