They will all go in, though there wont be much room with any of them.
IMHO if youre going to transplant into an RT go for the Gtt for 3 reasons.
1 - (And this is becoming a cliche) You could just buy a 16v or williams, whereas you cannot buy a clio gtt. (ok you could buy 1 off someone whos already done it but you know what I mean)
2 - Youre not really taking a step back as the single point injection on the RT is crap anyway.
3 - Its different and its still very rare and its turbod which means dump valve (if thats your thing) and massive tuning potential.
Just my 2p worth.
Was a Clio 1.8 16v
GTT as u hav turbo power and will involve less work hence MUCH less expense.
If u tune it right u could have just under 200BHP and ur car would still be light with a 1400 engine. Dont ruin it by getting ur styling from the corner in Halfords though.
thankx lads...Time to go see my mechanic then
£1000 for basic conversion plus full donor GTT, thats at Torsion Tuning anyway.
back to topic please
I dare say it will also be a lot easier to find a GTT engine from something like an MOT failure or a car with rotten bodywork but an essentially sound engine, than finding a 1.8 16v or williams engine. Plus, you wont have any adverse handling effects from the weight of the engine with a GTT lump, but a 1.8+ will be heavier so it might cause some problems in the handling dept.

lmfao - was the orignal topic not about conversions? And so were the 2 posts!!
