Swap a F4R of Rs 172 on my Clio 1.8 16v

[Pagano]

Hi, please help me because in Italy I can't found any people who know this.
I've a Clio 1.8 16v and I want to make a turbo engine.
I've found the engine of a Clio Rs 172, but I don't know if this engine mount without big problems.
My "only" problem is...the engine mounts are similar?

Sorry for my bad english.

The engine fits in using all the same mounts.

I love you
Where can I see moro pics?
For the bottom chassis, do you have make some work?

 

[Daniel]

There are some really good projects on here detailing the conversion.

Apart from wiring, its all pretty straightforward.

My project thread... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...-s-very-very-long-project&highlight=mk1+track


If you search ''Whiteley'' and ''f0xy'' on here, their project threads are far superior to mine and detail everything much better.

I basically copied them.

My 1.8 16v uses...

172 Engine, geabrox, driveshafts, hubs, brakes.

1.8 16v Subframe.

Williams Suspension. (You need to take 2mm off the 172 hubs to make the suspension fit)

172 Manifold, custom link pipe, 1.8 16v exhaust system.

no modifications are required to the subframe/chassis etc. use the 172 mounts.

Can I use only the engine and gearbox of Rs, but suspension, axls (semiassi I don't know in english), brake of my clio?

FR4 will fit straight onto your gearbox, your management wont know how to run it though, so you need that too (or aftermarket) but as you say you want to turbo, then you probably already realise you need aftermarket anyway?

The intake and exaust manifold are handmade by Rama racing...the management is a Mectronic MTE or MK6.
My only problem is the engine mount...the sub frame...the axls...I did not really want to do too many work at the car...

I already have two cars quite laborious to follow

Lancia Delta Integrale 16v

Escort Cosworth t25

Axles, I guess you mean driveshafts. They will be the same, you can use everything from yours, just need the F4R engine and Flywheel and top engine mount.

 

[Pagano]

driveshafts?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Cool cars

 

[Dan@SJM]

driveshafts?

Yes.

I've a F4R engine with JB5 gear of Rs182. I need to find a top engine mount.

 

[Dan@SJM]

the 182 gearbox doesn't have the port for a speedo drive. you need an early 172 gearbox.

Speedo drive?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Your 16v will have a cable that controls the speed dial on the dash (KM/H to help you understand what I mean). the 182 doesn't, it is run from the ABS system.
