Slowly, slowly. Engine now in and subframe modified to clear sump. I was saying to a friend I feel like I have all the edges of the puzzle done now!! Now need to finish dogbones, clean up and paint mounts, complete pipes and lines, driveshafts then wiring. Simples....

Looking good mate certainly a lot of work to make it fit
Clio Sport 182
Slow going but almost up to the big stuff - wiring, engine and gearbox build, drive shafts and finish welding the chassis rail when the engine is back out.
Pipes and lines (air, fuel, water, oil) 99% complete with PTFE braided hose. Will also be closing up the hole in the cabin for the shifter. No need for that anymore....

Obviously its not just a "drop in" unit and you have no doubt had to overcome a significant amount of roadblocks to get this far.
However from those last images, the motor sits in there really well.
Well done

Any updates on this mate? Dying to see it in action
Clio Sport 182
Haha. Me too. Engine is now dismantled and going in for sleeving. Drive shafts mocked up for manufacturing. Then engine and gearbox builds, wire ECU and we are away. Still tossing up on ECU's. Either Motec M150 or Emtron KV8. Probably Motec as my tuner is a whiz on them.....

What about Haltech?
Australian made 💪🏻

Not in the same league and in any case no advanced paddle shift control.
Motec and Emtron are also Australian! As is Autronic and Adaptronic. For some reason we are good at ECU's!!

I think their new Nexus R5 will do anything, it's a pdm and ecu in one.
It's $$$$ though.
Yeah you seem to be good at ECUs 😂
Didn't the guy from Haltech start Adaptronic?
Clio Sport 182
Yeah, it seems very incestuous. Will be interesting to see how the Nexus progresses. Always takes a while for an ECU to be developed and have all the bugs ironed out - def cool that it has an inbuilt PDM. M150 with paddle shift not much cheaper but now very well evolved and proven. You just can't go wrong with Motec. Emtron new kid on the block. Super competent, good looking software and used on some serious cars but I would have to start a tuning relationship all over again.
Forgotton factor is the cost of tuning. A full tune from no mapping to fully functional can cost from high 100's to 1000's - my guy is a whiz and does not take long to get dialled in hence overall it pays down the cost of a Motec.

Wouldn't like to pay Shane T prices to tune a Motec 😂

Pretty much THE guy for Motec tuning.

Just tried to download the Nexus software to take a look - case in point - won't install (same computer that has run many different vendors tuning software). Best to let others iron out the bugs! If it is any good it will be embraced over time.

Engine is now built. Sleeved k24 with all the bells and whistles. Will hold a lot more power than I'm planning on making. Main jobs now are to build gearbox and wire the car. Won't be rushing (albeit keen to get it done). Have had a couple of projects I've been working on in the meantime including an improved production Clio race car and a 500hp S3.

Awesome project!
Do you have any images of the pedal box from inside the car?

Does not look like it but will take one next time I'm at the shed.

All back together now including assembling my custom driveshafts - thankfully measured up perfectly! Will start wiring now - diagrams drawn and pins mapped. Should be relatively procedural (although have never used a PDM but should be simple enough).
As a side just wired an adaptonic m1200 into a friends f4r Clio. For the price it's a pretty solid bit of kit. Had a base map and it literally fired first go.

Hi there mate, I want to build a super 1600 look alike could you tell me how you spaced the front wheels out please? Many thanks Rob
