Possible conversion?

[gogsie]

Would this fit a clio?

Yes, but not an easy job.

I think someone on here has a project thread about it, or that might be a 1*2 engine in a megan.. Hmm..

Pm jack davey as he bought one, planned to fit it in his 182 but ended up selling it as some parts didnt want to fit iirc.

Needs total remodelling of the engine bay to get it too work IIRC.

My mates brother has got one in his 5,major surgery,custom made bits etc etc.Suppose you can make any engine fit(within reason)but not exactly a 'straight' transplant

 

[pritchard182]

do it would be epik

 

[iimushroomzii]

Would be great if it'd slot straight in, no1 on here's done it though so it cant be very easy

 

[jack_davey]

it's an arse ache, the nd0 6 spd gearbox isnt a straight fit into the mk2 clio, will need custom driveshafts/mounts etc and the JC5 1*2 gearbox is not a straight fit as the bellhousing is different on the megane engine, drilling and tapping the block will be a ball ache too!

Don't believe the posts of 182magoo either, he says he has done the conversion as he sold me the engine, his stories changed swiftly though when I actually got the engine and realised several things he said he had done weren't possible!
