But its quite an easy job to change an engine in a MK1 youll need...
Off the top of my head you would need:
Engine
Ecu
Engine loom
Radiotor
driveshafts
i am sure theres a few more bits somebody else will list for you

2.0 bottom end from a Megan or a Williams engine etc as that more power than a 2.0 bottom end (Williams has different head plus cams).
Often best finding a whole doner 1.8 16V and sell the bits you don't want for the conversion.
Yep plus more low end revs power. Is more CC so more power won't take the high rpm though as well but the extra CC account for more.
Cost depends you can somtimes pick up Megan 2.0 bottom ends for £200 whole Willaims engines depends where you go upto £750 I'd say.
1.8 16V the valver 137hp when new officialy
Gearbox loads of choice valver ones fine most peple do use them WIlliams one is a bit stronger. No point bothering with top end you'll neer use it 145mph cannot be used much anywhere takes long enough to get there.
Depends what you change and what price you can buy whole valver for 1.8 16V sometimes £250 other time you won't find any under £1.5k
you dont want a gtt lump, 99.9% have been trashed, and will be un reliable as hell!
Depends how much you get your bits for £750 bot an bad guesstimate.
What do you men by slide in the has to come off new head gasget and cambelt use the 2.0 alternator and flywhell i think best do a search.
Difficulty depends on our skill level being as you seem not to know what it is I'd say get someone else to do the swop only a few hours work to do. Need to have the ECU remapped to take account of the 2.0 bottom end.
Gtt isn't a bad engine but people don't tune them properly just wack the boost up instead and blow them to pieces. Rebuilt one with new rings etc and ther'll be fine.
As for 0-60 depends these engine are 10 years+ old they get weeker with age often hence why rebuilding its the best idea.
Yep Megan 2.0 bottom end mounts are the same.#
Engine type you want are F7R The new Megans 2.0 won't fit the 1.8 16v head (F4R code engines) as there different.
what about the gtt engine because i was only goin to running it at about 185BHP but getting the re-build done professionally. does all the mount match and is there any other gearboxs i could use on it. the megane just sould like a good idea but i have alwayz like the gtt lump.

You have to use the 1.1 day and night engine mounts I belive.
Loads of gearbox choices however depends how your going about it etc I'd personally make and wire in an ABS system from a new Clio which gives the speedo output which means you cna use absolutly any clio box you want and power the speedo with the ABS system output.
I'd go for the Megan lump with some cams and a ported head.
1.1 engine mounts are from memory the ones you need to make the GTT engine fit.
Idealy get a whole doner car and do the swop.
Loads of gearboxes to use JC1 is supposed to be ok Jc3 ie valver type is fine or there always the Jc5 boxes you could use like the WIlliams has.
Loads of gearboxes to use JC1 is supposed to be OK although I woouldn't. JB3 ie Valver type is fine or there always the Jc5 boxes you could use like the WIlliams has.
You want to ensure you've got speedo input one though.
You could resue the pistons but if your rebuilidng why not go for some lighter ones and a ballenced bottom end.
The early gearbox all have speedo output sensors so the spedo works the Mk2 cars more often have the Abs system powering the speedo. You'd ned to check the gearbox your using was the right type ie has the hole in it for the sensor.
Yep GTT will be reiable put people arn't ever happy with the stock 120hp or so and just wack the boost up.
No point ballenced bottom end on one ballenced bttom end for engine which rev the GTT makes power with boost not revs.
edde i have been in contact k-tec and what they said it is quite an easy conversion but the hard part are wiring and making it run why is that.
so what do u think i should do to it because i mate has gone on holiday for 2 weeks so i cant ask him what part would be best to make is a reiable engine but with the power i want.

if you use the gtt lump it is carb aswell not injection.
youl be better off getting the 1.8 16v or 2 liter lump.
iam doing an engine conversion williams and megane and have done alot of research.
get as much stuff that fits that engine as possible is best [gearbox,loom ecu etc],although lower engine stuff may fit probably wont be upto the job engine mounts etc.
to do a straight conversion all you need basicly
engine loom ecu gearbox and possibly upgrade fuel pump.
if you want performance then install the standard engine make sure it works etc then mod it fuel system,cams bottom end head etc.

Wiring will be difficult its just the way it is the 5GTT shouldn't be to bad realy as theres not many wires for it.
You'd need a rebuilt engine lowered CR pistons maybe then a speced tutbo ideal head work and cams would make for a nicer driver but thats costly.
Enigne mounts you have to use the 1.8 etc or 2.0 ones so there up to the job realy there the same as what sold with the car.
