Engine swap

What engines will fit in a 1.2 16v 2003 reg with out any great modification.

 

[Millsy]

ermm all of them apart from the v6? :s

or do you mean different manafacturers?

 

[mikemillar89]

No still renault, i just mean with relative ease, no serious modifications.

 

[Millsy]

well another 1.2 16v would be the easiest as (im sure someone will correct) putting any other engine in there will require the loom etc being changed as well as the obvious engine, so basically if your going to change to a bigger engine etc you've got them all open to you.

1.4 is obviously easier to work on than a 2.0 in terms of space

Any Clio engine will just need to chnage all the wiring looms in the cabin and engine etc realy plus in 172 cases ideal the suspension and brakes and hubs etc,

well i found out today that the engine is shot in my 99t ph2 clio 1.2 so what can/should i throw in and how much? if i cant get a reasonably quick engine for cheap then ill have to sell it for what i can get and then save and buy either a Toyota Mr2 t-bar or a Nissan 200sx!

Just stick another identical engine if its quicker and easier.

unless your doing all the work yourself go for another identical engine as its so much easyer and cheaper.

if you know what your doing and like a challenge go for something else. but would only be doing that if the shell/chassis is mint and work keeping!

172/182 goes straight in

Say 6 hours to swop for an identical engine etc.

Try Stan* on here for the work.
