Scenic

Apparently these have the same engine as a megane, and a megane has more or less the same engine as a williams. So are we talkin a 150bhp mpv?

140bhp 2ltr.......but F4R engines.

 

[Tonys]

So what is the difference?

Would it go in a clio?

Where is the 10bhp lost?

 

[BenR]

its a totally different engine, its the same as the clio 172s engine bar a few casting and other technical diffs.

Its not related to the 150bhp F7R......so no 10bhp is lost.

The F7R engine found its way into early Megane Coupes (Phase1) from about 1996 to 1998 and into the Renault Spider - but not the Scenic! The F4R is found in lots of models and is even supplied to Volvo for their S40 2.0 (I drive one!).

The F7R was first seen in the Williams, but the Willy F7R engine was different from the above ones. The Williams head has larger inlet valves (at 30.1mm), a different inlet system (which is polished) and the engine has a properly baffled sump. Basically, the Willy had to use a modified 16V inlet system due to the space constraint - whereas the Megane/Spider engine bays were more spacious.

I dont know of any more differences than that. The Willy engine and the other F7R units were all on a par in terms of power, but have slightly different power delivery characteristics.

Polished? eh?

valves are 32mm,

the willy uses a different head casting which is the same as the F7P. ANd is designates the F7R700 in teh williams, F7R710/714 in the megane coupe. The sump is the same as later 16V units IIRC but i dont lol.
