Megan engine in a 16v

[FlansS14]

i have been offered a Megan engine and a 172 engine. Both quite cheep

but i no they won't fit straight in... can you put a williams rear cam in a megan head to use the dissy and williams ecu. can yuo do that on a the 172 engine...

i no you can use the 1.8 head but that defeets the object... lol

any ideas

i thought the 1.8 head matched with 2.0 BE gave good results?

 

[FlansS14]

good but not good enough.... lol

 

[theduck]

oh, ok, well i dont know how cheap you have been offered them for, but theres a megane 2.0 engine for sale in the car parts for sale section and iirc that is ready to go into a clio, oh and GDI will fit performance cams FOC

 

[FlansS14]

Is that the engine that costs more than a williams!!! lol
£1800

 

[theduck]

lol, well its up for £1700, but think he has only had a very low offer, worth sending him a pm. should keep in mind its been fully rebuilt

 

[FlansS14]

well i can get an engine for £400... It aint gonna cost 1300 to re-build...

are they having a laugh. plus how is some1 gonna run it... £1700 is still way to expensive fitted!! even with cams

i would go for a worked 16v head on the megane 2.0 bottom end

mat browns old hybrid was probably the quickest one ever

You will need a small bit of machine work to get the head to accept the dizzy. Can use the cam tho. Plus the megane head has bigger valves and is a better head than the 1.8. you will need to alter minor things to like the icv etc to get it to run. Speak to BenR on here or Stan cos hes done the conversion. Look on www.retro-renault.com
