r21turbo engine into valver

[kidunknown76]

Is this possible? If so, how much? How difficult?

 

[Nick Read]

Yes. Depends on whether you do the work or pay someone else to. Depends on how good you are at engine swaps.

Ive looked over this... its too dificult... you would need to cut the car to get the gearbox in.

not worth it mate.

its a shame that renault does not have anything turbo between the 1.4 GTT and 2lts R21 turbo.



there is somewhere a volvo 1.7lts turbo I think.. dont know if its any good.

 

[kidunknown76]

I would pay somebody else. Is there anybody who has had this done, or knows sombody that could do it. Somebody in the southwest?

to put the 21 turbo engine in a clio would be a major conversion.For a start the engine in a 21 is mounted with the engine at the front and the gearbox at the back whilst on the clio there side by side.the gearbox is also completly different. The 1.7ltr conversion from a volvo would be a lot easier as it is a renault engine anyway.its the same engine type/design (other than its got a turbo) as the rsi clio.
