Clio 172 1.8t swap



  Clio 172
Hi there was just wondering if it was possible to swap a 1.8t s3 engine in this and what it would need
 
Yeah possible, a dude on here had an boggo spec Clio sleeper TT. Thee's others in here too.

Not really worth it though unless you've got the engine for nothing.

1.8T isn't exactly amazing in terms of performance, sub 300bhp is (very) cheap, but beyond that it gets expensive quick.

Granted but a 300bhp Clio would be exceptionally quick!

Yea but it's also something you can do with the forged original or Megane engine so it's not really anything special.
Just seems like a bunch extra hassle to end up with the same results.

I've driven a 1.8t clio, very quick.

I have beaten the very famous ? 20v turbo clioturbo clio at santa pod 1/4 mile in my std mk6 golf gti dsg ??

Op Just save yourself the hassle and cost and buy the car the engine was in in the first place.

Yep that's the one I beat ? I know both owners who had it after chi workmanship on the conversion was f**king shocking and downright dangerous!!

Felt quick when I drove it

It was but only when it was boosting properly not missing and if it could get any traction.
Only quick once rolling in higher gears and useless brakes steering and handling!
So in most every day situations not that useable awful thing to drive.

I did fast show couple years ago in my 1.8t clio sure it was a mk6 golf on the line. I spin every gear with stock 14 inch tyres.
