FOR SALE!!!
is that not the rally lump?
Mazda MX5 1.8
all depends on how much you wanna spend......
there is a impul (iirc) supercharger made for the nissan 1.5 (HR15DE) engine which looks very much as if it would fit..... but you still have the problems of making it work once its fitted..... which i havent got a clue about how to do it. we arent talking big power tho (they recon 35bhp on the 1.5 engine)
also space may be an issue as well
other than that there was a new intake in development (at angelworks) but dont know how far along they've got with it

the super1600 rally engines are based on the 1.6 16v engines that come in the Clio and Megane so the engine is a good starting point for this kind of project. Problem with them is though that they take a LOT of maintenance and so not only is converting it to a 230bhp NA engine expensive, but keeping it on the road afterwards is.
Best route for highpower from the 1.6 lump would probably be strengthened internals and forced induction - either super or turbo charger.
As for amount of power I would guess that 200bhp through forced induction would be safest middle ground of reliability/power.

SEAT Ibiza SC FR

FOR SALE!!!

You'd probably have to make mounting for a Super Charger. But a Cooper S might work.
FOR SALE!!!
as said at top my mates own there own mini tunning bussniess so getting a cooper s charger our a works one will be vey easy and cheap for me
SEAT Ibiza SC FR
Getting a mounting bracket made up easy for you? Know anyone with an engineering business. That comes in handy.
Could you run the charger off the aux belt?

You wont go above 150bhp on stock internals N/A, to run higher power you need more RPM. I've looked into this alot and without spending a lot more money than I already have it's not worth it. You're loong at 3k for the bottom end work....
ClioI Ph.3 1.6 16V
What about installing a Rotrex-Supercharger instead of the AC-compressor?

They are small and efficient...
But in my opinion the k4m engine is also a good base for "classic" tuning.

i looked into it when i blew up my 1.2 lump, as far as i know the stock intake is the weak point, so for higher rpm and much more power you need to replace that so your looking at using ITB's or be oldskool and save money and use motorbike carbs!! (my mate has a 1600gte nova lump running them and the noise is mental!
SuperSprint make a performance tubular manifold (not sure if its a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 tho! cant remember off the top of my head) K-Tec also make a tubular manifold for it.
Supersprint make a decat for them as well as a centre section and back box.
cams are availible from various companys.
personally if i was going to do it id start with getting a 1600 16v conversion kit from matt black £900 odd + VAT from what i remember, have it fully rebuilt, and the bottom end lightned and ballanced to help it rev have eather the standard cams reprofiled or go for some aftermarket ones, tubular manifold, stainless exhaust and decat as well as running standalone management so in future if you wanted you could go the ITB route.
at the end of the day i was ready to go ahead with it then test drove a 172 and thought f**k it, put another 1200 engine in my dynamique and bought a 172!!

your going to all the trouble of changing the engine so why not just put a 172 lump in. if you looking to spend all this money, why not spend it on an engine that can reliably put out lots of power and wont cost as much to get the power out of it.
i dont see why have you written off the 172 engine idea anyway

I know i have given you loads of advice about the 1.6 but Tim is right. Dont bother. I would even go one step further than the 172 engine and say put the VAG 1.8 20vT engine! Exceptionally tunebale engine. Stock form about 200-250bhp depending on exact spec of the engine you pick up, mapable for more power and further tuning can see in excess of 450bhp!

very true, engine conversions are pointless, if youre going to do it, do it properly. Either buy a 1.6 or a 172 or put some crazy engine in it.
A 1.2 with tuned 1.6 in it will have no resale value either
engine conversion topics always come up and its never worth it unless you get all the bits free and you do it all yourself

Personally I'd go the as much power as I could out of a 1.6 over a v8 RWD clio! Simply because its something I have wanted to do for years!
FOR SALE!!!
last i heard they can be remaped to run 170 bhp and i not seen one in a mk2 either so would be sumthink diffrent
