    Clio 197 shape engine swap to with Megane RS 250

    You can get the R26, to 250/280bhp, and the 250, to around 300bhp, quite easily. Much above 280 on the r26, you should go forged. I will be getting my 250 eng. Meglio, to around 350bhp, and not forging it. I will need to be careful with the 225 box, and try and keep the torque down, and the...

    Clio 197 shape engine swap to with Megane RS 250

    Its bigger than the 225 box, and although could be made to fit, not worth the bother, as the 225 box fits without any problems.

    I run a Clio 197, Megane 250 engine/225 box.The best way forward, is to deal with each problem as you go, and seek advice, when the problem occurs.It has taken me over a year, to get a perfectly running car, but stick with it, its well worth all the effort.

    Battery Relocation (passenger / Boot)

    I have Clamps for the Battery. I will try to take some photos of the Engine compartment later, but the filter/pipes will have to be removed, and when I get bitten by the Midges/horse flies, it will be all your fault!.

    Battery Relocation (passenger / Boot)

    Mine is in a box, in the boot, leaving much more room for the cone filter.Rear seats removed, and one piece carpet fitted, made the fitting easier. Plenty of Battery cable on eBay. Be careful with cables coming through the bulkhead!.

    Meglio fan should push or pull

    I run the 250 Rad.It did not drop straight in. Initially, it looked like I would have to lose the AC, but some adjustment some spacers for the rad, solved the problem, so I keep the AC. For me, I use one of the original forge intercoolers,NOT the new ones.( I won't go into why.)It leaves plenty...

    Clio 197 Meglio Cooling

    With AC deleted, should not leave the fan on constantly.I fixed my problems with overheating etc, by putting fan the right way around, replaced the thermostat/fan relay, and just in case, fitted an over ride switch inside.This solved the problems on my Meglio.

    Clio 200 braking issues

    The DS1.11 pads on my Meglio, stop on a sixpence, even from stone cold, and are fantastic on track, allowing me to brake later, than a lot of cars. I have found cadence braking is a No no with these pads, you need to get on, and get off the brakes as quick as possible. I ran CL5 before these...
