Clio 16v Mk1 1993 Megane 225 Powered



  Trophy Turbo :)
After A year of messing around with NA engines and not really gaining much for the money put into the car i decided too see the Fully Forge Engine, I decided it was a "cheap " Toy and it got well out of hand. Im not the best driver in the world its a confidence thing from my Serious RTC in 2008, The car is Road legal but its just a track car really, we use it on the road for testing etc.

Here is the Development of the New Megane 225 Powered Engine/.

We adapted the Internals and Head from the Megane into a Renault Block that would take the 225 internals, Keep in mind i didnt want to spend 1000's again as its a toy! and the power level we want to achive is 270/280Bhp we already know that the megane 225 can run with mods safe at this level.

After Machining and some tweeking we decided to run the DCI 128 jc5 Box, Thinking that would be great for handling the Torque, Yes it did but on the track it was dog s**t, The 2nd Gear shift down was liek being in 3rd Gear, Just no good for the track at all :(

The Spec Of the Car is as follows

Gaz Adjutsable Gold Coil Overs
172 Wide Track
Williams Alloys
R888 Tyres & Yochama S Drive ( try them )

Thanks lads, thats just the easy to remember spec, referbed rear beams all sorted of little things, custom this custom that :)

Developments and progress will be updated on here, i know there is a lad on clio 6v doing a megane conversion with a 6 speed box!!! wow :) but i didnt want to run 6 speed as its too big and heavy and costly for clutchs. fly wheels etc :)

Is this the same car that was on throttle bodies that blew up at trax a couple of years ago?

Awesome project

So it is a full megane 225 engine fitted into a mk1 bay? I thought I read somewhere it wasnt possible? Whats the set-up with mounts? Fabricated?

So the DCI box isn't up to much then? I did wonder when I saw it done before

on the road its great but nono for the track i was dropping too first gear at rockingham at the weekend no good that, as it just spins in 1st lol :)

The DCi box works perfect in my conversion, which leads me to think you may have got a different ratio box to me, as even @ 20mph in second it still flies.

I think you should tell us more about this conversion that you and you mate Steve dreamnt up as it sounds quite interesting LOL :p
