What 4X4 turbo engine conversion in a clio?
Something Not French
Buy an Impreza.
M3, Cup racer'd 182
also thought about that but ain't the "flat four" design a little wide for the clio engine bay?
Do it properly and get a 4G63T in there.

will look into it ain't that engine out of a Galant VR-4?
Been in allsorts, notably the Evo.
Another one, Pulsar/Sunny GTI-R SR20DET (don't get a Silvia/200SX one, they're longitudinal.)

3S-GTE from a Celica GT-4. Not sure if the MR2 version would be any cop layout wise.

Are talking about a mk1 dimma cosworth? if so it was done in 1996 by max power.

That's not properly though is it, 4G64 if your doing it properly!

The GT-4 lump seams massive, as for the MR2 it's rear wheel drive and rear engine'd so not really ideal.
i already know of a renault 5 Rwd fireblade for sale

That's serious money would be cheaper buying a cosworth lump lol
That's not 4WD though is it? So your defeated already.
S4 2.7 V6 Twin Turbo will fit with minimal work
LOL

2 F4R lumps one up front one in the boot

hard work getting two engines to run the same as each other i heard.
im not sure
Why the f**k would you want an Eclipse engine?
M3, Cup racer'd 182
yes i seen the car in person i sold a dimma kit to the owner (tim) he was restoring it back to its former glory.
here's the pic's i taken when i was there.
SQ5
No replacement for displacement, stroker kit and done!
Seeing as you can get 1000+bhp out of a 2.0 4G63, before even stroking it, and Mike Reichen's Evo II runs one which is the fastest in the world, I'd not bother with the 4G64 personally.
There'll be far more support in the tuning world for the 4G63 too I'd imagine.

Calibra turbo was 4x4 probably getting a bit rare now days
Dave at DJM Motorsport has a few years experience in building specials, http://www.djm-motorsport.co.uk/
i.e. cossie 205's, 106's he doesn't fit floor pans to shells he custom builds all the tunnels and everything else needed to make it run

Still, why bother when you can get such power from an engine that's probably more readily available over here?
Value for money wise an ST185 celica makes a lot of sense as a donor car, really good 4wd system on those and the engines can make good power.
Evo is another easy option layout wise.
TBH though, you have to be pretty obsessed with clios to want to bother, make far more sense to just spend 5K on a decent imprezza or whatever and f**k the clio off if you want a decent 4wd turbo car!

I Have debated doing this Sooooo many times (although in a MK1) I found
Subaru….great choice, one of the lightest 4x4 systems but sat to far fwd for the MK1 (no room for an intercooler or the rad) there is more room in a MK2
Evo, great but v expensive
Pulsar, cheap, great engine but poor gearbox.
Celica GT4’s are now cheap and very strong! Plus 50/50 power split std and a lds!
TT running gear, I was gonna make mine 4x4 but the Haldex controller needs modifying or locking up (causing it to crab on tight corners) or for track days. Then you need a diff in the back or you just spin up the 2 inside wheels all the time.
Cosworth… old and heavy and v v expensive
If I was doing it id look into the GT4 300bhp no worries. If you get the weight down to 1200kg you dont really need much more than 400bhp but obviously more is just more fun

St185 is cheaper is only reason I suggested it instead, st205 is fine too though
And how can you say why bother!!! your fitting a Honda in yours FFS and got a Saab powered Nova..... we do it "coz we can" remember.
Lol
As I said, unless you are a bit obsessive about the particular type of car in the first place it doesnt make sense, but in my case with both those cars I want to do it "just because" not as it makes sense.
I should put the honda turbo engine in a Ek civic where it would fit better and easily be able to handle as well as a clio.
I should be using a vx220 not a nova if I want a mid engined car powered by a saab engine and vx220 box.
I wouldnt ever recomend anyone else to do the same if they just want a good car, but I do my projects just for the fun of doing it, rather than for the end result.
do the celica be different lol
however pleanty of subaru's about and parts are a pleanty not to sure on the gt4
