Yep its an option but might as well go for the whole hastle and stick with the 197 head etc as well for the extra power IMO.
Or better still for the price get a CTR engine same hp lighter and 6 speed box plus there more tunning bits and 300hp is cheap to do with supercharger kits unlike the...
Different bottom end.
The 197 uses the 800 seris big block the 172/182 use the 700 series blocks the 800 has a bigger matting face you cou;ld make one fit but for the effort not worth it by miles.
Check the AUX belt is tight is the car due it to be chnaged (ever 36k) also check the tensioner is ok although it will often wine when its failing.
As for the other issues you realy need to get the car plugged into the renault computer or similar see what faults are logged.
Don't forget the CR won't be chnaged 220hp will be abot the limit better RON fuela nd you can run a bit more boost etc but you'll hit the limit very quikc myabe on very good fuel and mapped 230~2450hp but the second you stick lower spec fuel in you'd have to have the ecu recognise the chnage and...

The ABS pumps on the front left of the car hence fornt left first.
In theory theres only a few bolts there tow for each wishbone then there a fe hold the sufrmae to the car then then just got to remove the dogbone mont.
In practice its a nightmare bolts getting stuck etc. This is why in engine conversions people take engine out the top rarther than bottom...
Nope thee built in the same place in parell lines as the road cars as such but there not road cars depending on what car was to be built depend on the bits it had etc.
You can fit them yourself and set them up people take it to experts to get the to use there prefered camber etc setups or use the experts knowedge of what camber etc to set the car upwith.
65hp about 110lb toque I think from memory so about the same as the 1.5 dci 65 does.
I agree its a good enine though a little underpowered though but powers not everyhting.
