you cant use the complete engine, well you can but youll need to modify a few parts.
Block will bolt straight in and work with your existing ECU and gearbox. The cylinder head is a different casting and port design and the megane inlet manifold wont fit in the clio engine bay. The dizzy is also not on the end of the exhaust cam as on the 16V and its far too much hassle to modify. you cant use the 16V inlet manifold as it wont line up on the megane head.
Use your 16V head on the 2ltr block and all will be fine.
well u can use the megane box, but not the megane ecu with the 1.8 head, as the control for the ignition is completly different. use the bottom end and box with 1.8 head and ecu. get it all running, then get a stage 1 2litre chip off nick hill to suit the 2litre/1.8 head hybrid. thats the msot cost effective way of doing it

Also and proably not only is what type of bhp would i be getting from the megane bottom end with 16v head with either the megane box or 16v box? Is it worth the work to change it over?
Who would the megan head be any good to?
Anyone know of places that do this type of work in the essex/east london area?
Cheers
a williams/16V/GTT clutch....thy are all 20mm clutches and fine.
all you have to do instead of overcomplicating it iis get a megane bottom end with starter, swap that into your engine bay, slap the 16V flywheel and box on as tehre is no real need to use the megane box, its no better apart from different ratios which are more lazy.
THe megane head you cannot use with large amounts of modification as i have said in my previous post.
Use your 16V ecu with a chip from HP as its the easiet solution and buying a williams ECU is harder to find and almost as expensive. Also HP will do mail fitting service.
Swap your oil cooler yes.
and the flow difference is still minimal.
Larger valves wont compensate for lower port velocities at low rpm and can hinder flow with increase shrouding at low lifts where you thoughts of compensation come into play. No real need for 32mm inlets untill your into your 200bhp area. They can be beneficial when the ports a suitably modified to make use of the increased inlet valve area.
And no need to shout.
