Awesome start to this project! currently changing my setup to run the megane 6speed box! Looking forward to updates

Looking forward to some updates, love a decent turbo build! I take it your keeping the JC5 box?

Do you have any dimensions? Or are you making them? Thanks

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has started making a rear dogbone mount for the Megane 225 engine and gearbox conversion for a MK2 Clio yet? Any help would be great. Thanks, Rob.

UPDATE: Progress is stupidly slow still, I never seem to get time with work and family time taking priority. Anyway megane lump and box have been in the bay for a while, I’ve sourced all the parts I need. However I still can’t get the engine and box to sit correct. So instead of wasting time...

Amazing build!

Seen this on instagram, petrol blue is a lovely colour!

UPDATE: Progress is slow, Megane engine and gearbox is hanging in the bay now, cant seem to get the engine sitting correct though, used some spacers under the gearbox mount which has helped but still not good enough for me, also making a rear dogbone mount is being a pain too, just doesn't seem...

Strip down has started, first I removed the dash and started tidying the loom, lots of plugs and wires trimmed down. Then onto the engine, all boost pipes removed, loom removed, all fluids drained and engine pulled. Now to take everything I need off the old engine, and then drop the...

Photo from Trax 2018 Unfortunately on the way home, she started smoking, and running very rough, Got home, and then compression tested it, and compression was down on cylinder 4... great! I knew it would happen sooner or later, I did build it around 8 years now. Anyway I seriously lost...

Yes no problem mate, a quick list: 225 head (requires machine work for the pulley) The block will need drilling and tapping for a return feed for the turbo Oil feed kit Uprated clutch Intercooler and pipework ECU Custom downpipe They are the main parts I can think of, however everyone...

Made a switch panel for where the headunit used to be...

Nearly got this thread up to dat now... Gave the Turinis a good clean and sealed them, then fitted them, bye Rotas Also got rid of the recaros and fitted my new seats. More to come ...

Got some bits to fit

Added some quick release pins for the bumper, such a quick modification to do and so easy!

Brake lines for the master cylinder completed

Remade the brake lines with AN fittings

Mainly just a tidy up, we left loads of origami connectors and bits taped up so decided to get rid of all the unused bits and wires and just makes it easier.

exhaust mount done

Start of the rewire ??

25/10/18 Not updated this in a few years, Life has been busy and the car was left in the garage in pieces. It has gone through a lot of changes, mainly trying to tidy it up and ironing out some teething problems, mainly getting rid of quick fixes and stupid mods such as airbrushing, bad wiring...

I’ve got a project thread on here but I haven’t updated it in years, quite embrassing as it started as a mess and it had all airbrushing under the bonnet, I will update it as it looks different now, however on the way back from trax mine started breathing really heavy and smoking a lot so now...

Great project! It was also great chatting to you on Sunday at trax, I was the brummie with the two other guys just as you popped the bonnet open ??

Love this build!

What an awesome project!!! Keep up the good work.

Awesome update mate! glad its back up and running :)

Mick, just epic!!!

@Matt555 Don't give up, that's the worse thing you could do, I had loads of problems when I did mine years back, but got it all sorted in the end. Just take your time make sure you're 100% happy with the new engine and bits you are putting in. You've done a great build so credit to you! it...

Such an awesome collection of cars!!
