K20 my Clio

[Matthew bradbury]

As the title says I’m very close to k20’ing my Clio.

A new performance garage local to me has put in plans to build a kit and has offered me a conversion as a reasonable rate!

Any one here gone down the route?

Not me but hugely interested in your progress. Be good to see your updates

 

[Beany]

I’ve seen it been done, manly in mk2 Clios

Look forward to see how you get on

There is a decent thread for a K swap for a Clio 182 on cliosport.net

It is still a work in progress.

 

[Matthew bradbury]

Perfect

I just need to find a Type R and then we are good to get cracking!

half tempted to buy a cheap 197 rather than doing it on my 200 but we will see

I’ve heard a mixed bag about those mounts!

Am going to see what this other new company is bringing out... just to be a little different aswell. Speaking to the developer lots of work has gone the mounts to make sure they are v strong

Seems a good idea but how much is the drivetrain as I know EP3s are climbing in price.

Update:

Managed to pick up a Type R for a reasonable price.

Engine is now out of the Clio - gutted as its had the gearbox redone professionally and serviced and only on 71k miles.

Type R engine will be coming out this weekend, tuning company is getting clutch lines made!

Least you’ll be able to sell the Clio parts for sensible money

 

[Matthew bradbury]

Do people need 200 engines? Not really thought about selling it really but would be happy to if someone needs a good engine

 

[RSRowe]

They seem to be listed for decent money on eBay.
The gearbox would definitely sell well with it being done recently.

You would be surprised.

I know the 172/182 guys often use the cams, pistons, head and inlets.

 

[PITA]

Let me know what you want for it, I may be interested for a forged build

Lots of people are chucking them in twingos nowadays too. The likes of beaniesport often buy the 197/200 engines for the twingo conversions

Thanks guys

I have a 5 minute video of it running / revving up the range to prove how strong it was for people interested

Ill probably get it up for sale once I’m a tad further with the conversion as it’s still early days

Looks like I’ll have to use TYPE R clocks but I guess they don’t look too bad!

 

[RSRowe]

you could speak to racing circuits. I believe they have successfully integrated the whole lot to the Clio equipment.

Update:

Have bought the following:

K swap wiring harness

DC5 shifter

DC5 gear cables

What would you be after for the gearbox?
