Clio 197/200, Megane R250 Conversion

[anthonymayow]

I've made a thread before questioning it,
I know a lot of people been doing r26, conversion and that r250 engines are like rocking horse sh*t to fit spare, but obviously I guess big different be uses of the VVT? And what modifications to r250 engine would be needed to fit? Intrrcoolers? Ecu? Loom?

Weighting up the options,
Thanks!

theres a chap here selling his.

im sure hes got all the info you need anyway

im sure its forged or atleast has stronger components from factory. Not just VVT.

Thanks!! Anyone else fitted the 250 to a clio? Not the r26, thanks

Why the 250? You can get just as much power from the 225 lump

 

[anthonymayow]

Guess only gain is VVT?

 

[Fred@BTM]

I'm pretty sure you can't make the vvt work, ask RS tuning as they've done it

 

[anthonymayow]

Ok, thanks for your knowledge! I'm weighing up a lot of choices atm, Fred would you take on such a conversion?
Link to rs tuning at all? Thanks

The 250 engine can take much more power than the 225 lump. I think the 250 engine can take 360bhp on standard internals.

SC Autoelectrics in Bolton is who did Litchy's. I'm not sure if the VVT is working yet.

There is an Alien Green 200, also done by SteC at SC Autos, with a 250 lump as well. It's currently running a winter map (a mere 300bhp) but will be going to 350bhp in spring/summer.

The 250 box is too big for the Clio which is why everyone uses the 225 or R26 box.

To go over 300bhp, you need a new fuel pump as the standard one can't do any more. The pump is inside the tank so it's a bugger to change.

I think SC Autos have done 10 conversions now.
