clio 16v

Does anybody know if it possible to fit a 172 engine into a 16 valver

 

[Adams_16v]

quite possibly but will be pricey as fabricated parts will be needed. i know of someone who did it in a 19 16v!

 

[Davidturton]

Thanks i have been offered the engine for £500 it has only done 5000 miles thats gearbox engine driveshafts wiring loom aswell

 

[Chris Green]

buy it anyway and try and fit it.

if it dont fit very easily, sell it on. its worth more than that!

Let us know what you do.

regards!

Chris.

 

[Davidturton]

bargain! get it mate!

 

[JAY172]

bargain price for the engine but it wont fit in your valver with the original inlet manifold on it(makes it to tall)

 

[edde]

Wont fit heads to big

You could go to T/B to get it to fit. Wiring may be a problem if its a Mk 2 2 due to the multiplex wiring.

If you get it to fit with TBs then the loom isnt anything wor worry about.

See 172 lump for £500 and people flame me when I say £1000 for a willy is overpriced.



Evismaniac - Who dropped it in an R19 16V?

 

[Adams_16v]

erm, i saw it somwhere, and emailed the guy, he gave me a massive email about how he did it, ill see if i can find it!

 

[Soneji]

Cheers Evis!

people pay more for the willy engine as its rare......and they want it.

Despite it being the poorer engine.

The R19 guy is in brighton i think. And i spoke to the guy aswell, not so much about the conversion as it wasnt finished before i left.

 

[Soneji]

Why is the Williams engine the poorer engine in your mind Ben?

 

[BenR]

why do i even bother.

 

[fastwunz]

Something of a silly question there Soneji. Lets leave it there.

have they dumped all the original injection system/ingnition system and gone for throttle bodies etc? just wondered as the immobilser would be the main problem if using the original ecu.

I personally would buy the engine for £500. Put it on ebay with a reserve of £500 and buyer collects, that way you cant lose out, your likely to get more than £500 for it, then spend your profits on tuning your 16v engine or a williams engine......
