hi all,

just a quick question will a 172 or a 182 engine fit straight into a s reg 1.2 8v clio?

thanks

If you fold the back seats down, I should think you might even get 2 in there.

Want to be tying them down securely though.

Safety first, kids.

 

[DannyR]

You can definitely fit one in the boot. I'd imagine second with seats folded down and probably one in front foot well

 

[Feirny]

I'm with TEG, you should be able to get two in the boot.

 

[MartinR]

i reckon two in the boot and one on the passenger seat one in the footwell one in the engine bay

 

[DannyR]

Oh hold on, he could fit 4 technically.

One in the engine bay

 

[scliohc]

i wasnt really thinking about putting it into the boot tbh. its the 2nd shape clio if anyone thought i was on about a mk1.

 

[Feirny]

Have you thought about it marking the interior trim? Best put a sheet down.

 

[DannyR]

Where we're you planning on putting it? Do you have a small trailer or a strong roof rack?

 

[172Ben]

Why not just buy a 172, they are so cheap now?

 

[DannyR]

I'd say insurance purposes, it's cheaper to put a 2.0 in and keep it registered as a 1.2.

Innit.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I reckon 4, remove the passenger seat then you will have loads of space, Just be careful not to spill oil on the carpet.

 

[DannyR]

I reckon 5 actually, lay two down side by side and another two on top, passenger seat out and another.

Or 6 add one in the engine bay.

Or 7, remover drivers seat and use it as a seat for the journey, only if less than 10 miles though

lol!

I can't see how on earth your guna fit a 182 lump in a 1.2 engine bay.

Unless you take out the original lump your guna struggle for space.

That said with the correct level of supportive underwear anything is possible.

I want some of what your on!! But you'll have to inject it between my toes my mom checks for track marks!!

You can easily put a 2.0 RS lump into your 1.2, In fact, there are companies who do it for you.

For example

The only issue is the cost, it isnt cheap at all. You might as well sell yours and buy a 172, and you will get everything else, interior etc etc/

Trackday/weekend tiredness and energy drinks and more sugar. No injections needed do we're good to go

Flol... Hook each engine up to a different wheel? 4 wheel drive 8.0 64v Clio... Win

You could fit another one on the roof rack if he has one, could crush the car like but still.

KTec are really good, their customer service is amazing, highly recommended if you get them to do anything. If you're in doubt then ring them up. I spoke to a guy called Anthony about coilover repairs and they couldn't have been more helpful!
