a 16v engine would fit in easy enough but you would all the running gear(inc rear axle but get an rsi one because there designed to fit clios with normal rear arches,16vs are flared),everything from under the bonnet,subframe+steering,exhaust and all brakes/suspension.if you are going to do it you could do with getting a complete car(eg,mot failure or accident damaged)then you will have everything you possibly need.Quote: Originally posted by chrisj19 on 12 November 2003
Got a 1.2 1996 with full bodykit and respray and styling sorted but need more power!! Anyone any ideas of engine transplants and people in north west who could do it?? Ideas of price?? Also struggling to get someone to lower car more!!
pretty easy due to the 1.6 8 valve is a very similiar in design to the 1.4.your 1.4 gearbox may even fit on it.the main difference is the engine mounts but you can get around that easy enough.You will have to sort the immobiliser out though(a 1.6 megane engine has an ecu which is part of the immobiliser system but im sure somebody will now how to disable it).contact the firm in the above post theyve got round it.Quote: Originally posted by Smoore on 14 November 2003
