Megane 225 manifold

Will the megane 225 manifold fit the 200 engine instead of swapping the engine to do a turbo conversion

the internals are different....lower compression pistons....

 

[sideways danny]

yes the exhaust manifold will bolt on

 

[mitch1990]

So you could just put the turbo onto the 200 engine ? Or would it just be easier to do the engine conversion ?

I would presume you'd be better off to just swap the whole engine. Like Foxspeed has said there are internal engine differences + your engine is mapped for a 7.5k RPM N/A engine, but your wanting to dump a ~6k RPM Turbo on to it.

I'm sure someone more qualified will be along soon to prove me wrong

yeh you COULD....but it wouldnt last long.....

 

[mitch1990]

Well I've seen this manifold for it

 

[Fernandez]

There are several turbo'd 182's about.

Could this kit be modified to fit the 197/200?

I'm sure you could use/modify the Megane manifold and fit some low comp pistons. I've heard that the Clio ecu can accept a turbo as it has Meg bits in there already.

It would be an awesome motor, loads more low down torque and much higher reving than the Meg engine.

There's prob loads I've not considered so over to the experts.. Lol

 

[mitch1990]

I'm sure that would fit

 

[Foxspeed]

the high revving bit might be an issue...as the turbo is/can be a restriction to this

got ya, makes me wonder what rev limit the 172/182 conversions are running.

I've heard that said too. Sadly not true. If you open it up the board is the same one, but half the chips are missing

It's been done on Honda engines ie s200 and civic type r and they rev even higher

It's been done on Honda engines ie s200 and civic type r and they rev even higher

but the internals arent made out of chocolate

if it were that simple.....

lots of things to consider on a high revving boosted engine - its not just a "bolt-on" jobbie and away you go :001_rolleyes:

 

[mitch1990]

Lol that's true, how do the 172 and 182 do it then ? They still run standard internals

 

[Foxspeed]

dont think they use standard compression do they or if they do will be running a "low boost" set up to protect the engine as the 172/182/197 run from 10-11:1 c/r iirc

 

[Fernandez]

That would be forged rods and pistons then

That's deliberate, its to stop you breaking the tissue paper gearbox.
