K4M Engine

[Grantek]

Could you straight fit the 1.6 16v engine into a MK2 PH2 Clio using same subframe box wiring etc....? thanks

 

[Hutchie]

it'll fit... but your ecu wont run it, get fulling wiring loom and keys out of a 1.6 16v clio and you will be fine

 

[Grantek]

will eberything else be fine? Could i use existing loom but new ECU?

 

[Hutchie]

as far as i know ecu's have different plugs so no

 

[Grantek]

Right cool, so if i get a new loom, will everything else be fine?

 

[mini-valver]

New loom, ECU, UCH and keys. Pretty sure the shafts are plug and play but make sure you get all the 1.6 engine mounts as the 1.2 ones are different.

 

[Grantek]

cool, how much you think engine ECU, UCH and keys will be? whats a UCH??

 

[James.f]

UCH is a a sender that gives a signel to the Ecu iirc,

its basicly a black box to you and me

Its best if you get the ECU / UCH / Keys and igniton barrel with the decoder ring really from the same car

 

[Grantek]

can i not get my keys programmed with the new ecu cause i just bought a new key

 

[Scott™]

I have a K4M block for sale, £100, ECU £20 and same price for Loom

 

[Martin_172]

its possible but its just as much work as a 2.0 16v and the 1.6 16v is hardly a "performance" engine so i wouuldnt bother.

 

[Grantek]

Its the insurance for me tho mate 18 years no claims, no chance on a sport ken?

 

[James.f]

You will need the Key fella, it saves a lot of time, im preapring to do a conversion next month, and after loads of Q i asked, it made sense to get the Key as i wont have to bother with re-programing my key or de-immobilise the Ecu

 

[Martin_172]

Its the insurance for me tho mate 18 years no claims, no chance on a sport ken?

insurance on conversions is rediculous, you will insure a 1.6 16v clio pretty cheap but try insuring a 1.2 16v with a 1.6 16v conversion!! have you done any quotes for 172's tho? i got insured at 18 on mine with 0 ncb.

imo the only reason for doing a conversion is for cheap insurance ie. not declairing!!

 

[Grantek]

how much was your insurance if you dont mind me asking?
and who with

 

[Martin_172]

£2200 with admiral iirc then at 19 with 1yrs ncb it was £1200 then at 20 with 2yrs ncb £800
