21 turbo engine in a valver

[Dancliovalver]

thinkin bout havin a 21 turbo engine fitted to my clio, just wonderin whether it will fit and what i would need......goin 2 c nick at hillpower bout it this weekend but wanted to know your opinions first

Cheers

175bhp as standard - nice!

Not sure it will fit to be honest, but anythings possible if you throw enough money at it!

 

[_Tom]

Surely the engine is massive?

I was following one in my valver on the m/way once with a massive FMIC. We had a bit of a play and i had no chance!

 

[Tom_16v]

Not heard of it being done before so maybe it just wont fit....

 

[Matt16v]

If you can put an ITR engine in an old school mini you can do that.

 

[MATT BLACK]

wont go mate - the gearbox bellhousing will need to go right through your bulk head as its a transverse box. Dont get me wrong - you can fit any engine in any car, but this would be a nightmare job

personally i dont like that k tec valver, if it was the green one for sale id buy it.

what about the volvo 1.7 turbo lump?
i know it will be a b*tch to do, but its been done before.

other than for cheapness a 5 gt turbo lump (only 120bhp as stock) then tune it up.

 

[MATT BLACK]

Drop a clio 172 engine in it and be the 1st on the site to drop one in a mk1 clio - ive got a 172 kit here.

 

[White16valver]

Price? lol

 

[dannyboy]

and the custom bonnet needed!!

 

[Tom]

Custom engine mounts. Bonnet wont need modding.

 

[Dancliovalver]

j3ned what you lookin for for the kit mate???

by the way a mate saw you at santa pod a while ago sed your car was awsome, would love to c it in action????

Id always heard this but never actually saw it.

Only thing Ive seen done to a GTT engine is the 1.7 head conversion.

As said the engine is the wrong way round to fit and woudl be a major ballache to get it done.

Looked into this many years ago on the 19.

Now a V6 laguna engine...

21t engine fits all u need to do is get a non transverse box and fit it in.... when u think about it, the fuego turbo was a gtt engine mounted transverse, u can fit a 21t engine in a fuego... so it will fit fine, bloke on rtoc had it in a gtt, fitted fine, hadnt fitted actuator hose and blew the engine up on 1 of the first runs

[Edited by MaLicE on 4/28/2005 11:25:45 PM]

oh and a v6 laguna engine... thats allready slow enuf in the clio v6s why bother sticking it in a mrk1 lol

 

[Dancliovalver]

cheers malice big help mate, so does anybody have an estimate on how much it will cost me excludin the engine, ive also thought about havin a spyder engine, a friend has 1 i could have for £700 i dont know whether thats exspensive or not but i really want a turbo (love the dump valve and boost noise lol).

so do u all think i should give it a shot or not bother, i need some motivation lol

cheers all

 

[MaLicE]

the spyder engine is a williams engine m8 ...

 

[Dancliovalver]

is that all it is, i wouldnt mind a williams conversion but still not what i want, i really want something different but not sure on what to do???

 

[BUTRE]

The J7R engine doenst fit a clio.

Ive seen a couple of cossie powered fiestas, but the idea was cuting the whole damn car to fit the gearbox.

The valver engine can be turboed! It can be done properly and unleashes very good power. Talk to NickRead.

Yes thats right cos a V6 that hit 60 in 5.5 is slow

 

[Dancliovalver]

hhhhmmmm how much does a turbo conversion cost though

 

[Dancliovalver]

and j3ned how much is the 172 convo and can u fit it?

 

[Mark@Ritchspeed]

Fuego Turbo was a 1600 not a 1400 GTT engine. The 18 Turbo also ran the 1600 unit.

 

[dannyboy]

will any laguna engines fit the clio? they did a 2.2 didnt they??

 

[u33db]

None that are powerful enough to be worthwhile doing. IMO only options are willy(meg/spyder), GTT, 172 or 1.7t lumps at a push...

 

[BUTRE]

oh well... wanting to go something different? This is RENAULT AND NOT FORD!!! You cant play "legos" with renault parts like we do with ford.



The best thing is to go F7R highly moded. BenR is doing an engine that its showing up to be very good in power all around... well the cams are a lumpy ones and idling is above normal 950rpm or so.

If low-end torque is no matter to you, then a high reving screamer F7P is the way to go!!! There never been seen a 10k rpm reving F7P... oh the sound of the Ford BDAs engine... that is pure class!!!

 

[JayGTT]

if you have a big pot of money try the megane 225 engine that would be a nice conversion.

 

[dannyboy]

lol, in a mk1! might be cheaper to just buy a 225!
