Also, why do you think there may be problems?
The wiring and ecu plus integration etc is the trouble realy plus there loads of ways round things depends how you go about it. If I were to choise A way to go about it as a recomendation I'm not sure which way I'd even say.
Back to your original post though, what is your thinking of going for a bigger diesel engine, why not tune the 1.5 DCi lump. Chip it with better breathing mods works well on those little engines. If that's not enough, as posted earlier, drop in a 2.0ltr 16v petrol engine and theres plenty performance upgrade
Gearbox is the weekness at the moment relaibility wise. Mods yep cna be done but bigger tubros the common used option.
it's the same old battle of performance vs economy. how much power do they have, isn't it 130bhp? but the engine would weigh a lot moren so you will have to uprate suspension and brakes etc
I would imagine it'd be a tight fit, as the 1.9 diesel engines look a lot bigger than a 2.0ltr petrol. what DCi engine did you start of with, 68bhp? the money it would cost to do the transplant you could convert it to the DCi 100 a lot cheaper. Probably be easier to sell on as well?
175hp in the top spec 2.0 16V model engine (180 in the V6 dci one but that an Izuzu engine anyway) The one to look out for the all new V6 3.0. dci Renault/Nissan co designed that due to make 225 upto 265hp when its at top spec.
Firstly, your suspension is gonna be f**ked. Nevermind your front wishbones from that extra weight.
Nope if the suspension will need work but nothing huge.
I thought people are supposed to get help and suggestions here
How can an extra weight of 50 KG kill my front suspension and wishbones?
I just can't see that.
I'll remind you that the MK2 diesel clios came with 1.9 DTI engine which was same weight as the 1.9 DCi (I am guessing). I bet the suspension in MK3 is same as MK2 diesel clios.
Mk3 suspension is different but ignore the comments on here thye either know nothing and at times can be an impolite bunch if you wish to make a complains use the little tringle at the bottom of there posts and report them for not abiding by the forum rules which are here.

The extra weight won't kill the wishbones biggest thing is to try reduce fornt end weight anwya so battery in boot etc helps but wishbones only bend when you crash. Bushes can wear but thats down to loads of factors.
i'd keep the 1.5 unit and go see the derv doctor
Yep there potential for the engine 10 dci pump ad then 100dci or 80 dci injectors give about 125hp worth of safeish fueling stock turbo would still be ok as well. Torque would have to be limited for the box.
I just don't think the engine conversion is your best way of going about more performance and I've been trying to suggest other routes. Is your DCi fitted with an intercooler, what other mods did you do to get 90bhp other than chip.
another thought, will the megane gearbox fit in the clio, I'm pretty sure the 6spd doesn't, anyone know?
I agree HP isn't cheap reliabily.
90hp is quite easy though depends what he started with.
Other boxes won't fit though hif he has a dci 80 he alreadys has the strongest box unless he used the 106 block as they use the stronger Tl4 6 speed box but even that only 20% stronger.
So Renault changed the Mk II Ph II from a 1.9 turbo to a 1.5 turbo?
I know they're French but they must of had a good reason for doing so. I still think best bet for performance and driveability would be to stay with the 1.5, and look into bigger intercooler and turbo, possible the DCi 100 set up, up the fuel pressure/ pump etc and enjoy it for what it is
Yep.
There loads of good reasons the 1.5 dci could make as much power more economically and efficients plus its lighter and better for safety etc.
For drivability bigger CC not bigger turbo
