Can someone post up…..

A list of parts needed or preferred when changing an 1800 engine to a Megane BE and Valver Head?

For Example,

- 2.0ltr ECU, is this def needed and can it run off an 1800?
- Williams oil cooler bottom hose?
- Williams starter motor, can I use the valver one with megane bottom end?
- Which head gasket set, Williams/valver?
- Which clutch, Williams/valver?
- Head Bolts, willy/valver?
- Water pump, Megane?
- Engine mounts, would they be Williams, megane or valver?


Overall these are the ones I'm most confused about but if anyone can think of anything that’s needed or a good idea to get, as maybe difficult to change once the engines been swapped then please post and perhaps a MOD can put it as a sticky, if we don't have one?

Cheers

Danny

- 2.0ltr ECU, is this def needed and can it run off an 1800? I would look to get yours remapped danny.
- Williams oil cooler bottom hose?
- Williams starter motor, can I use the valver one with megane bottom end? The williams has a specific starter. But if you are staying with a Valver gearbox i would see if your original still fits.
- Which head gasket set, Williams/valver? Depends on which head you fit
- Which clutch, Williams/valver? Again - depends on your gearbox
- Head Bolts, willy/valver? Think you can use either.
- Water pump, Megane? Not sure
- Engine mounts, would they be Williams, megane or valver? Stay to valver and williams mate.

1800 ECU will run a 2ltr but will been lean top end...you'll get away with it for while tho as long as your not caning it everywhere.

2.0 spec ecu
if u want OE oil cooler u need appropriate hoses
williams/megane headset and bolts (not 1.8 head gasket basically, and check cam oil seals as williams are different to 1.8/meg)
either clutch
water pump is same
clio mounts needed, valver same as willy
