Hey guys! I´ve own a Clio 182 since last year and what a machine! the fact is that it goes great... when everything works. I´ve to change the clutch and the aux belt, and I´ll have to change the timing belt sooner of later.
The fact is that the Clio is just my hobby, and as I don´t need it for everyday use, it´ll going to stay some time on the garaje.
So, as the facts are as follows, I think it doesn´t make any sense to keep spending money on a leaky engine and gearbox. That´s why I´m thinking on a clio 197/203 engine swap.
It does have a stronger 6 speed gearbox, and enginewhise it´ll be a little bit powerful (200/210hp I think is enough), keepeng an NA configuration.
So, what do you guys think? I know there´s enough space on the top and at the bottom, the gearbox might be a little bit bigger but no problem as people use to adapt the megane´s box. Sparkplugs are placed differently but thats all.
What about driveshafts? custom ones? alternator and waterpump may fit (they are placed on different side).
Please tell me about de viability of the project and if someone has done it before! I haven´t found any info/project like this.
Thank you all mates!
