R26 engine and gearbox in a 182

[Chi]

Can anyone tell me whether an R26 Engine and Box will go into a 182? What problems are likely to be encountered?

​Cheers in Advance

Driveshafts are stopping you as far as im aware but i think Fred@BTM has some or is going to be selling some custom shafts.

Not too sure what else!

 

[DTM Cars Ltd]

Custom shafts and rear mount.

Ecu needed

Downpipe made

Apart from that nice job.

Oh and the leg needs notched

 

[Chi]

So costs would be

Engine Gearbox £???
Shafts circa £700


​Total FEW BOB

Lol! Why dont you speak to W33 BRL about his build? Wayne has a 225 engine his clio, not sure which box he is using though.

Supposed to be meeting Wayne when he collects it from EFI ha hasnt got LSD which is what appeals.. Trophy with R26 Engine and Box FTW!

 

[The_Pirate]

For the aggro, just buy an R26.

Whatever you do for a living, I'd love to get into that industry. You're insane!

​(In a good way!)

 

[Budgie]

Surely just boosting a 182 engine a la North East is easiest?

I like the reliability of the standard engine as Im clueless..

 

[imprezaworks]

Had to be a lottery win somewhere along the line lol.

​Thought that was you lol

 

[Budgie]

Ahhhhhh! That makes sense now!

Andy's your man for a bit of boosting help!

I could have a pair of shafts made for around £200-£250

no need to touch the leg, fits in fine (just!)

 

[Chi]

Starting to sound appealing

 

[Korky]

Hydraulic clutch conversion if you plan on running a 225/r26 box.

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah clio V6 pedal box - bolts straight in

 

[Joe#]

Does the standard intercooler from the megane fit? Or is it a custom job?

 

[Fred@BTM]

custom

 

[JohnnyE]

[Chi]

Seriously?

​Just a pipe dream at the moment...

 

[imprezaworks]

It will happen

 

[DTM Cars Ltd]

Theres your answers chi.

 

[DTM Cars Ltd]

The v6 pedal box as fred says works BUT there is a lot cheaper way of doing this. As any thing for the v6 is crazy mo ey

 

[Chi]

How much to do it ?
Or LSD and ASTs for turbo?

 

[The Russian.]

custom

Maybe an st intercooler??

 

[Chi]

Maybe an st intercooler??

Will for mate, slim intercooler and fits behind the bumper.

On ph1's anyway

 

[Chi]

Just been on you tube. . Not sure what intercooler I have but I know how it works. .

 

[w33 brl]

mines is f4r bottom end 225 pistons 225 head and turbo and custom pipework

 

[scotty2hotty81]

This has been asked sooooooo many times.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

EBay intercooler and decent beaded pipework.

Hydraulic clutch conversion isn't that bad. You could modify your existing pedal box to take a girling cylinder.
