can u put a 1.6 16v into a 1.2 16v

[Pithers1.216v]

i was wondering if u can put a 1.6 16v staright in to a 1.2 16 v

 

[Clio_novice]

probably but i duno.......

 

[JAY172]

yes but it would cost you.

Should fit right in due to it being the same chassis and mounts i believe, though gearbox might be different im not sure.

Might have to upgrade brakes and suspension aswell to coincide witht he extra speed

brakes shud be ok - i thought they were 16v discs and gtt pads or a similar set-up anyway?!

 

[DeanRSi]

the 1.4 8v had the same breaking set up as the valver. not sure on the 1.6

 

[SexyRT]

1.4 8v...my god im convinced my RT is made up of random bits some muppet in reno found lying about. Its got a steering rack out of a 1.9D clio II and ball joints out of a 16v and a panel filter out of a 16v...jees I hope nowt else goes wrong or Im screwed!

 

[Liam_Dynamique]

lol, i think thats how they put them all together mate!

Hi,

Yes, you can. A friend of mine here in Portugal has fitted a 1.6 16v from a megane into his 1.2 16v clio mk2. If you want, i can pm you his e-mail so you can ask him questions.

 

[RobFenn]

Dont bother..seriously.

Why only jump up a bit when you could go for a 172 engine.Ok youd have to upgrade a bit of kit like brakes etc,etc but why spend all that money for 400cc when you could really make a difference...On the other hand you could just save some money and buy a 172,its probably a dear doo.

So whats a dear doo den ?

I think Rob is correct in this case, its not want you want to hear I know, just run your car as it is and save up the bucks, then you can buy a bigger engined car straight out.

The cost will outweight the marginal benefit

 

[smit]

why not buy a 1.6 16v, a lot more easy
