172/182 or megan 225 engine

[Paul182]

hey

what would you guys think if i put a megan 225 turbocharged engine in my clio instead of the 172/182 and turbocharging that. it would be alot cheaper i expect??

any feedback would be grateful

Wont fit IIRC

 

[Ricardinho]

will fit but dont bother with the 225 engine, too much hassle

 

[Fred@BTM]

^yup^

it does fit though

225 brake from a N/A aint too much to ask. But surely having a turbo lump offers much more tuneability, mind you it's still FWD...

 

[G_F]

Good stuff, i was always told it wouldnt fit. Whats the performance like in the Clio then Fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

dunno, its been like that for 6months and a i haven't touched it!!!

rory 225 from a 172/182 engine will cost you thousands

 

[dannyboy172]

So whens it going to be finished?

 

[Fred@BTM]

erm 2010 sometime

He's too busy with his new toy! he's left the 225 for 255 and some rear wheel action instead!
