hi ive just stripped a scenic 2.0 block and was gonna rebuild with 172 internals anyone know why this cant be done

 

[MicKPM]

Erm... it can't?

The only difference between the bottom ends that I was aware of is the compression ratio. You can then mount a 2.0 sport head, inlet plenum, etc to the Scenic block - this is how we did James23's Scenic.

Fred, it is pretty naughty in a straight line... corners are a different story (because you forget you're in a spaz bus).

Scenic bottom end just needs the RS compresion ratio and cylinder head to function with the standard higher power output of the Clio RS

That was with the scenic 10:1 compression

Yep - even though the AFR was 10:1 at the top end... great remap lol
