Electrical aspects of meggy 225 engine into 182

[jack_davey]

Hi all, I've bought a F4R turbo engine (megane sport 225 engine) I'm capable of handling the mechanical aspects of the conversion, I'm just concerned about the wiring.
I have the loom and ecu for the turbo engine, but I'm just unsure where to splice it with the clio loom, what with the UCH etc.

I was thinking of getting the Autodata wiring diagrams to aid me, but somehow I didnt think this would be enough.

Any help would be great! I understand ditz on here is pretty good with renault tech stuff as he did the 2.0 conversion on a 1.2, so I'm hoping he'll come along to help

can you use the 225 gearbox? is there enough space in the clio?

 

[jack_davey]

nah I'm using the JC5 box, although the bolt holes dont line up on the block, I'm going to adapt it to fit.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Will it even fit in?

 

[jack_davey]

yeah its the same block as the F4R 738, it just needs modifying to fit

nice one, id like to see this done, let us know how you get on

 

[Daniel]

Fair play to you!! Its good to see someone doing this!

Nice one mate. Do a project thread with lots of pics.

What are you putting it in? not your 182?

 

[Hutchie]

stick pistons, rods and crank in f4r block that mates to 182 gearbox and dump 225 head and turbo ontop sorted

Surely running a standalone management would be easier than splicing looms etc. Can easily remap for more Booooost then too

 

[gaz_5103]

stand alone would defently be the way forward.

 

[jack_davey]

yeah standalone would be nice, but youre looking at £600 for an omex.. I'd like to get it running on the standard meggy ecu for the sake of a cheap conversion, and maybe get a remap if more power is desired.

and yes alex its going in my 182
