Ph1 engine conversion project advice

[Jgvonza1243]

Hi guy's, iv been looking around how to tune my ph1 and looking for some kind of project. Now iv looked at itb'ing, turboing, supercharging but I'm looking for more of a challenge so I have decided I should go for a 197 engine conversion but I just need some advice on what you guys think and how easy/hard itl be. Cheers josh

If you have the knowledge, do it. It will be interesting

1st of all, why? the only gain you'll really get is to say that you have VVT.

the only real improvements in the 197 was in the chassis development.

Save yourself some time and money and just buy a faster car - or just enjoy the clio for what it is

??? ClioII Ph.1 also had VVT....but I agree to the rest.

i meant PROPER vvt.

The VVT isnt really very 'variable', It just has 2 settings, and one of those is used only at idle, and just to meet emissions.

and tbh, the vvt system on the F4R 830 isn't exactly "proper"
