Billy bargain!!
Clio sport 182
I appreciate your help lads. How easy is it to remove the engine can I leave the subframe in? Or does it need to come out to remove everything.
I'd imagine I can remove the engine and box through the top with everything bolted on?
Am I right in saying both 182 and 172 engine are the same bar exhaust manifolds? So a 172 lump will run as a 182 with the 182
Manifold?
Sorry I should have made myself a little clearer.
Sometimes a bolt can fail but the thread's are fine, other times bolts can fail and damage the thread's is what I meant mate. [emoji2]

Unplug the loom, undo the exhaust manifold, pull the shafts out the box, undo engine mounts, drop the coolant and heave!! Lol! Bit of a wiggle and out it'll come as one. You can leave the subframe behind doing it from out the top.
172 and 182 engines are essentially the same mate yes, but the 172 engine has a few different connections for the vacuum canister and brake servo. This is something you'd need to get around, but not a big drama.

What do I need to get around it? Just so I know will the 172 run the same as 182 power wise with 182 manifold and ECU
330i. E30 Touring.
Change the breather plate from the top of the engines over, use your 182 upper inlet. Done. Ten mins work.

Thanks.
Just a little update. I've turned it over I can feel the cams rotating and the timing belt so I guess somthing has went bang.

You can't swap the breather plates over mate as they're different on the 172 to 182.

How can you modify it to fit?
Look at this photo this 172 is £650 it has 87k on clock. But read engine problem. Is it worth it?

You can't modify it mate. The plate that is!
The misfire could be a duff injector or lambda as the other stuff has been replaced reading that.

Think it's worth getting for the engine?? Surely the engine will be fine? And I can change injectors over? Do they need re coded?

Replied in the pm mate, but no the injectors aren't coded. Buying the complete car to carry out a swap over is a very easy way to do it as you'll have everything you're likely to need at your disposal.
And make money back on the rest of the shizzle.
They don't call it a money shift for nothing

If the cams are moving with the belt then that doesnt mean anything is amiss
Clio sport 182
Explain? That just means the belt is turning the crank and then the cams?

It does if it's just spinning over with no resistance!

Agreed. He just isnt being very clear with his posts, so I was struggling to see where he was going with his findings
Defo fit a new box and engine after going into second instead of forth
All mechanicals would have been spun at over 10k by the driven wheels
Pictures are from a ctr that I changed into 2nd when going from 5th to 6th but got 2nd instead
Don't take a chance and change both box and engine

Jeeees. Im hoping I can still use the engine casing to fully rebuild the engine.
Rebuild? Sounds like a lot of hassle.
I'd just be dropping a 2nd hand lump and refurbished box in over a weekend if you think the car is worth saving.
2nd hand bits like this always appear on the forum, or just go on one of the many RS Facebook groups and find what you need there. You can often find engines with the belts done too.
