what other engines will fit in a MK2 PH2 clio

[AJWalters123]

Hiya guys,
I want to put a better engine into my 1.2L, 16V, 51 reg, MK2, PH2, Clio-Expression and i was wondering if i could fit a V6 engine into it or something similar.
Also can anybody tell me if i would be able to fit a Honda V-Tec engine in it. if you can then which one would be the best, performance-wise, and also that would fit nicely.
Any infomation would be greatly appreiciated!

How big is your imagination and budget?

Whatever route you go down is going to cost you, so how much do you want to pay?

Buy a CTR

 

[tom172cup]

depends how much wedge you have. there has been a TT lump, Cossie lump or the sport engine in the non sport

 

[Nickson]

Hmm :boring:

 

[beng-120]

if you put a more powerful engine in, youd need to uprate a lot of the stuff already on the car, a 1.2 isnt built to deal with high power and torque, knowing renault build quality the subframes would probably collapse so youd need to do all that too. really not worth it, save up, sell your clio, and buy a car thats designed with a vtec! or buy an rs!

 

[DannyR]

Anything could fit!

 

[AJWalters123]

well i was kinda hoping it would just be a case of putting a V6 in and off i go lol... can you give me a guestimate of how much it would set me back if i wanted a V6 in it???

Really?!?! Nice ill get a RS6 V10 Twin turrrbo then lol

 

[tom172cup]

[Matt W]

1.2 still on da log booik sow cheep ensurence. Etc.

If you want a fast car, buy a fast car.

 

[Spoony]

You just need loads of ££££'s though

 

[beng-120]

take the value of your car, and add a zero to the end and thats probably how much it'll cost you, and afterwards itll be worth naff all

Excactly. You cant polish a turd.

If you could do it yourself then maybe, but you sound like you have absolutley no idea, so it will all have to be done by someone else.

Start at the price you could buy a decent CTR for, and go from there.

And don't forget brakes, suspension, blah blah blah.

And the cost of your insurance afterwards.

and you will sell it for s**t all.

Hmmmmmm.... well This looks like my best option! thanks i just need to save up me penny's now :L

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Im not starting any baiting here but maybe speak to someone whose had it done already (vickyx)

Why would you bother doing that when 3k would buy you a 172 and sell yours for insurance? Its utter lunacy

 

[Craigus]

^^ Quite.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

How long have you been driving?

 

[tom172cup]

2 weeks iirc

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

sounds like it tbh

 

[one in a million]

ive seen a mk 1 clio with a cosworth engine, init running at 400bhp, the whole car had to be altered even the panels right down to the boot, an that was a 97 reg, an went for 10 grand, depends on what your budget, but if you can drop a v6 init, i would love to come and have a look. drop a williams init that be good

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

why would they drop an F7R in it?

 

[mantis946]

Love to see (And hear) a clio with a 2J... *drool*

Personally the costs of implementing any of this on a daily (Assuming it's a daily) would not be worth it, you would have to replace pretty much everything on the car not to mention the insurance, extra fuel for the engine, servicing, the reliability you get from DIY.

Keep saving the pennies and treat yourself to a full car chief

V6 Engine conversion....just add water

Yeah okay. I think a few more of us would have heard of that mate. It wouldn't even fit in the front, they would have to put it in the back you r****d!

LOL - renault would never do that!

 

[moorin]

wow thankyou for brightening my day, you know what makes your car even quicker then putting a front mounted v6 in it? driving it off a cliff with you in it, now take your utter incompetence away from this thread and put it to some good use, like an audition for the jeremy kyle show. pfftt

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

You theene' my batheball?

 

[MartinR]

jet engine in the boot????

 

[Nickson]

You theene' my batheball?

[The Chubby Pirate]

That isnt lbrench in my avatar, thats some other feckless gobshite that crashed on his way to buying Megane coilovers, what of it?

 

[MartinR]

Easy now.

I love threads like this and every car forum gets them. "I've got a 1.2 and I want to fit twin turbos to it"
Putting different manufacturers engines into cars will cost you a lot of time and money but if you are serious I'd recommend doing lots of research and learning some basics. Once this is done sort things the proper way on your car - brakes and suspension first not just a huge motor....or indeed just buy a standard renault sport and save money.
Prior to that happening go back to watching fast and furious.
