F4R/F4RT hybrid conversion

[BrianB]

I can get hold of a 07 plate f4rt engine with 25k for a great price so I’ve been looking recently into doing a conversion and after a bit of research it seems the idea of using the f4r bottom end seems the way to go,

What where the biggest problems/headaches that you lot can foresee?

I’ve tried to pm Andyrg about his but his inbox is full!

If your using a f4r bottom end you will only be using head and pistons from the f4rt is it still worth it? Price up wossner pistons and h rods First.

People seem to use a combination of F4R and F4RT bits. I think they use the F4R bottom end to retain the standard box as the 6 speed Megane box is a tight fit and requires some modding. Would be great to see this done though, retaining the 6 speed box.

Have a look at Andyrg 's project thread mate.

For the amount of work involved in building a hybrid lump, I'd just turbo the stock F4R engine.

Or just fit the f4rt lump with the Clio box!! Note there was a few headaches involved ha,

Too many headaches for the average cliosporter

Ha yea prob, intact getting the box too fit the block was prob the easy part of the whole conversion
