I changed my mind and decided to go for Hillpowers 2.0l conversion. Nick said he uses the 1.8 16v box with the 2.0l block. I was wondering, does this limit performance in any way? or will it be just as quick as a williams? ps having cams and chip as well!!! watch out tomclio16v! hehe.

as far as i know, the williams GB is geared lower allowing you to achieve maximum torque across the entire rev range. 16v is geared to take advantage in the higher revs. This seems pointless if your going for a 2.0, as you "may" not get the full potential from your 2ltr. You may also find you will be on the red line before your box has even got going.
Nick Hill will be able to give tell you, have you asked him?
clio 20v
well personally after driving both id say first is slightly differant, second and third and fourth are more or less identical an 5th is differant, 5th the more noticable
5th is definately longer in willy box as mine will rev to 6900 an will do 140mph willy engine an box will rev to 6500 and will do 140 mph
if i had a willy box on i would increase my top speed but i wouldnt say it would make much diff lower down

clio 20v
my chipped 2 litre with valver box revs to 6900 will still not hit 60 in second gear
a willy with standard rev limit will only do about 56-57mph in second mines just on the line for 60mph but testing with ap-22 itll never register 60 bouncing off limiter in second
im pretty sure there almost identical apart from 5th
ive raced clean side by side with window down an we change gear at exactly same time in 1st 2nd an 3rd hes got willy engine an box ive got 2l with valver box i limit in 5th tho an he can keep going
AFAIK WIlly box is longer final drive/longer 5th gear. Obvious really cos the Willy engine doesnt rev as high and has more torque low down so it makes sense to gear it up for a higher top speed. Keeping the valver box will give you better sprint speed but poke at the end of the revs.

if you mean like on the motorway then yeh mine uses quite a lot of juice compared to cols willy 2 on a run cos mines revving its tits off

If anyone knows, i have loftys 2.0ltr williams clio 16v with a 16v gear box...and i feel that the accelleration is nice but once 5th gear comes the revs are around 5000 revs at 100mph. so although the power is still awesome at that speed, the limiter is going to cut in around 125mph.
think i prefer the 16v GB though
clio 20v
get it chipped will do 140 then
it should do about 130 on the 6500rpm rev limit

"rockport" you asked how much? wellllll.....its an willy 2.0block and box, with strutbrace,hillpower hoses,chip, piper cams,alloypulleys,heatsheild,bonemount and fitted and rebuilt with a 12 month garantee.....£4360. Expensive you ask? yes but im hoping for top quality job by Nick.
