172 engine conversion?



  PH2 172
My mate owns a 2003 1.4 16v clio and is looking into putting a 172 engine in it. Is there anyone on here who has done it and can help with what you have to change to complete the conversion. Cheers

He isnt worried about how much of a job it is. Just he wants to know what parts of the sport will he need to buy and if possible can someone who has done it PM me what they needed to complete.

you need the engine, gearbox, loom, UCH to start with

you can use the 1.4 driveshafts, and you can get away with the 1.4 brakes but id be using the 2.0 16v ones if possible

best bet though is to do it properly and use 2.0 brakes, hubs and suspension

if it was me id be buying a doner car and that means u have everthing you need
 
ditz on here has done it, he's got a 182 engine in his dynamique. He knows his stuff, but said it's a ballsache conversion.

Just trade in and buy a 172. Not worth the hassle of converting when you can pick up 172's so cheap these days

He would love to but hes only 17 with a 1.4 billabong clio and its already looking nice for a 1.4 thats why him and his dad been thinking of doin the conversion he would want to change the brakes suspension etc to 2.016v ones he said he would prob have to do a rear disk brake conversion aswell.

it has a ported and polished head, raised compression, matched inlets, ptfe gaskets, arp bottom end bolts, magnecor leads and was rebuilt by sg motorsports about 5/6k ago. the gearbox has covered about 25k and the clutch is new.

how does 1k sound?
