Few questions about Megane parts fitting clio!

[danny197]

Will the Megane manifold fit onto the clio?
Can the clio ecu read boost?- or will the Megane ecu fit on my loom?

Some of you may see where this is heading! Just asking a few questions to see if its possible? Thanks, dan

Hi, I wasn't after putting the full engine in, I was wanting to turbo the clio engine. Just wonderd if I could use the magane parts? Turbo, down pipe, manifold, ecu ( if mine cannot be mapped to hold boost) etc

Cheers

Its been discussed before, the weak link is the bottom end. The way forward is the 182 bottom end with the 197/200 head and bolt a 182 turbo kit on it.

Prob not as simple as that tbf

Thought the clio engine was good for around 300hp?

Conrods aint the best, and if you get away with it, the gearbox wont lastlong. and i think the engine is too higher a compression for a turbo. Plus theres a good chance that the manifolds bolt patterns are different. Best option is megane conversion.

^^^^this, youll hit a brick wall straight away. Much cheaper doing a whole conversion.

Thanks guys! Right back to the drawing board! Was trying to do something abit different!

Oh, and its you with the charged one right? How do you find it? Have you hit any problems?

fernandez hit the nail on the head, it seems to be a pointless excercise when the meg engine is as cheap as it is
