Mk1 clio turbo diesel

[mr7t6]

Someone once told me that i would be able to fit a Renault 19 dt engine and box to my clio Mk1 1.9d, and even a Megane dt engine would fit.

Now what i asking is:

Is this true and if so how hard would it be to fit.

Does the clio Mk1 diesel, renault 19 dt and megane dt have any ecu?

Does any one know of any garages that could do this in the london/kent or essex areas?

Any help please

next question is....should i concider gettin a 1.8 16v conversion for near enough the same price?

 

[mr7t6]

yeah i know!!!!! but its a diesel that i have.

Don't get a 1.8 16v conversion, will cost you s**t loads to insure as its a conversion, just get a 1.8 16v, its a better modding base and if you look hard you can get a decetn example for under £1k.

The mk1 clio diesel box is a stronger box (JC5), but the ratios are piss poor for a petrol car, ie 140 from a williams in 4th......the megane boxes (not sure about R19) have a different mount spacing, you need a megane box mount and need to mod it.

Best off looking for another 1.2/1.4 box, s**t loads in scrap yeards

The 19 is exactly the same as the clios. iirc the turbo on the td lump wont fit in as the bulkhead hits? im not certain having never done it, i just remember reading it somewhere.

 

[mr7t6]

Thanks for adding your comments......can any one else help?

I've just converted my old 1.9D into a 1.2 petrol, not driven it on the road yet, but id say it will handle better, diesel springs ar harder, antiroll bar as standard, could be a good base for a decent 1.4? if on a budget or something you know.

 

[mr7t6]

Does the R19 dt engine fit the clio Mk1?

 

[mr7t6]

anyone!!!!:dapprove:

 

[Djw John]

I think so, will check with a mate who started this conversion awhile ago but Ive not seen hime since he ripped the old one out!

 

[edde]

I think the engine code is different I forget why though.

 

[mr7t6]

ok, any help please

Defo used a R19 turbo diesel and says its pretty damn nippy these days!!

 

[Martin_172]

what sort of power/torque do they run? hardly a track toy but torquey and economical likely!

 

[Djw John]

No idea but yeah,, it just pulls and pulls. Not very econimical atm due to a fucked diesel pump leaking! So its off the road again but no biggie

 

[edde]

65hp about 110lb toque I think from memory so about the same as the 1.5 dci 65 does.

I agree its a good enine though a little underpowered though but powers not everyhting.

 

[ClioGav]

some are 93bhp standard

1.9 Turbo diesels yep

Very rare they did the TD in the Mk2 shell although there very rare even rarer in the higer spec 1.9TD in the Mk2 phase 1.

i kno a guy who had a renault extra nd put either the 21 or 19 td engine in it and it was AWSOME! was well impressed! almost impressed enuff 2 get that engine instead of the VOLVO 440 1.7 turbo for my valver. while im on about it, does any1 kno any 440 t engines for sale?

 

[Martin_172]

hmm not as powerfull as i thought then, they resonably tuneable/map'able or not much can be done with them?

 

[Will16Valver]

the extra i knew had 182's off the line, dunno what he had done as in tuning

Not much with the N/A diesel the turbo has abit more tunning potential just idealy need abigger turbo for more boost.

wow that engine job is well good, it's given me ideas!!! Intercoler in a Clio diesel, now thats what im talking.

NICE ONE:approve:

 

[mr7t6]

I need to know if the standard Clio F8Q diesel engine wiring and glow plug relay box be ok to use on a TD lump as there is no ECU.

I think i have a lucas pump fitted, are these also fitted to TD lumps?

and would i have to fit a different manifold?

Thanks

 

[Maxx]

I would suggest using the td manifolds as im sure they will be the only ones that will fit properly

Is there any way of fitting a bigger turbo on my 1.9d mk1 clio if so what turbos fit?

Thread from the dead!!

I don't know the answer but I suspect anything is possible - but if you fit a bigger turbo, you'd also need to re-map and increase the fuelling, get the emissions correct, make sure the rods aren't made of chocolate... lol

You can do a 1.8 16v or 2.0 Williams conversion or a 2.0 F4R (172/182) into a Mk1 van shell...
