k4m engine

[ben lee]

hi i have a k4m engine out a 2000 rsi clio would it fit into a 2002 onwards clio?

if the newer clio has non cable throttle is it possible to swap the inlet manifolds over?

what year did vvt get fitted to?

any help?

engine itself is near enough the same. Might have to swap the end housings off the head to get the right temp sensor (if one is plastic and one metal) aswell as changing the inlet for the appropriate throttle type

VVT was around 06 on

Easy swap. Like danny said end housings. No need to change the manifold, just change the throttle body (it will fit). VVT never came on clio unill clio 3 in 06. It was on 2003 megane 2 and scenic 2 though.

capable of running slightly wilder cams. Newer engines make a little bit more power.

On the flip side, the VVT pulleys on the K4M are very bad for becoming noisy, and you'll have a nightmare trying to get an ECU that will run it to work in your car unless you go for standalone. Stay non VVT, it's an easier life

wouldn't want to fit it to my engine. in standered form is the vvt engine more powerful?


on the twingo gt133 engines would there any parts worth using on mine? inlet manifold looks better?

is the twingo rs engine any better? could it be fitted with non vvt cams?
