mk1 valver f7r megane engine swap ?

[cliof7r]

Hi all new here g8 site

What brings me here is iv got a mk1 valver and looking at fitting the megane 2.0 16v f7r engine. Im looking for the fastest swap so dont want to be pulling the heads of and swaping them if I dont have to. Iv searched quite abit on hear tonight but carnt seam to find any hard advice on the swap.

Quickest is to swap the flywheel and heads over and use the clio management.

Alternative is to use the full megane engine with standalone engine management which will cost around £800 + mapping.

The megane engine uses a larger flywheel and a coilpack instead of a dizzy drive.

These sites have a VAST amount of information on the conversions and are more Mk1 biased whereas this site is more Mk2/3 orientated

Cheers lads

Im putting on a new cam belt kit so might as well swap the heads if it makes it easyer

only a 10 min job to swap heads when engines out .... easy done.

keep the megane head, don't allow yourself to downgrade all the other parts, fit the megane ECU if you need to

fastest and easiest swap would be a F7R out of the williams

can always whack the meg valves in the valver head while your at it. and give it a little port/polish. best of both worlds, keep the dizzy and loom off the valver for simple swap

Just fitting the megane valves gives very little gain.

Cheers all my plan has come together

I have now got my complete megane f7r engine and im going to fit the lot including the loom, if any body has any pointers on the loom that would be a big help :S

which is why i added the port/polish

It takes quite a bit of work to get decent results out of it, definately more than work than is achievable on the average diy level...which is kinda what your post was implying.

Sorry stan I know im new here but im searching the net for people who have been there done that and know what not to do and what works, iv been a mechanic for over 15 years so a little better than some one who goes by a haynes manual

check his website out he builds performance engines for a living.

Pretty sure Stan's reply was aimed at 2 Live suggesting you just stick the bigger valves in and it works. That would be pointless without having the seats machined to suit

Yeh I can see that now oops think I got the wrong end of the stick, my bad

yeah sorry mate, that was for 2live.
Cliof7r-- have you got the ecu/loom etc for the megane f7r or just the engine?

 

[Laine_16v]

Talk to harvythehippo on clio16valver, he's done exactly this. He will be your best bet for wiring loom questions.

 

[cliof7r]

I would like just to say sorry to stan for me jumping the gun

 

[cliof7r]

yeah sorry mate, that was for 2live.

Yes I have the complete engine, loom, ecu, key, mounts, flywheel, exhaust and all engine ancillaries
