Clio 172 and 182 cylinder head differences

[Nicolasticity]

What are the differences in the cylinder heads from a 2001 172 clio and 182?

Can I fit a 182 without doing any tweaking?

yes i beleive you can, best to go with the 182 RS stamped manifolds too as the porting is better.

mk1 172 head is the best IMO, no idea why mk1 172 engines just seem "faster"

[Fred@BTM]

no even with a mk1 172 engine in a mk2 car running FBW throttle it was quicker

I think the mk1 172 head has bigger exhaust ports??..

yup, ph1 exhaust ports are significantly bigger. I think the later ones are the way they are for emissions.

that was a weird one I'll admit, must have been a c**k up by renault, fitting a megane head or something. But yeah, still got it knocking about
