as above started fitting the 460 turbo engine into the missuss Rsi its going great everything swaps over from one to the other despite what i was led to belive. just the wiring to sort out now and bypass the cat and middle box so as to just leave the magnex back box Hmmmmmmmmmm. all the front pipe and everything have bolted straight on all the mounts (had to change the cam belt covers and backplates) striped out the rsi engine wiring yesterday and fitting the volvo in when i go back out after a cuppa. only spent approx 15-20 hrs on it so far and its the first renault ive done and youll be pleased to hear they are easyier to work on than Fords. everything is logical and makes sense.

Bloody hell mate you have a understanding missus if she lets you doin engine conversions on her car. what bhp are you expecting when you have done? also thats the first time ive heard renaults being easier to work on than fords, i blood hate renaults when it come to workimg on them.
yeh 130 bhp std but junking the cat and eventually building a 2 1/4" system. dunno what itll be but also have a freind who can write and map a chip for me so............ and yes she is understanding, a speed freak, is the only person to laugh when its sideways on a roundabout, brought her own 18s, then tortured me to lower it!, and even said i can buy a mini for track days and the odd noiesy smell day out if we get bored with the clios power,
