Mk1 clio 1.2 to rsi/ williams conversion?

[xXAbzyXx]

Ok so i have done conversions to an citroen ax's to 16v, peugeot 106's saxo's to 16v for tack day toys... But Thought i'd try something different. Are the engine looms plug and play? Driveshafts fit? Need more info if any1 can help me? Many thanks

it depends what track youll be running!

1.2 shafts will fit into a JC5 or JB3 gearbox, but theyre hollow so may not be strong enough.

mechanically most of the renault engines are interchangable, its just the wiring that may cause issues.

however if you with to run the wider track, youll obvs need to change the shafts.

Ok cool, yea would be upgrading the shafts and front brake setup. As for engine wiring loom, can it be spliced to fit in the interior loom? or is it not that simple on the cars?

Not to piss on your chips, but it would be a LOT cheaper to just buy either an Rsi, 16v or a williams.

You'll need the subframe, bottom arms, steering rack (or at least the ends) the engine, box, loom, driveshafts, brakes ECU..... By the time you've bought all that you could have spent £800 on a fairly tidy 16v.

Is it really that much work needed? I no it would be an upgrade but is it a must have for the subframe, bottom arms and steering rack? If im 100% honest.. I aint best keen on the wide kit on the 16v's...
