View Full Version : Megane engines
The f7r's from meganes! Are they all the same? Are they all suitable for hybrid use? I mean just the bottom end mated to willy head
The Ph1 16v Megane Coupe used the F7R-D710 and the D714 units. Bottom ends were pretty much the same except the '714 used a chain driven oil pump. They are both compatible with the 1.8/2.0 head though for hybrid builds.
The later Ph2 used the F5R engine which isn't any use to you.
Ideal then.. Just picked up a 2.0 f7r with 68k from a megane for £150 bargain
Ace... Change the flywheel and clutch over for those of a 16v/Williams though as the trigger pattern is different and the Megane uses a larger clutch plate.

Ebay mate?
Yeah, i emailed him about that.
I was put off because there was no g/box with it. and the fact that jc5's are rare and expensive! Perhaps im being a tight arse and should have bought it! :roll:
Although he wouldnt tell me why it was for sale i.e where it was from :roll:

Yeh thats the one. Well it took him two days to reply to my emails, I just rang him and asked about it instead. I believe the car had an interior fire. As for the box, yeh ok it hasnt got one with this engine, but ill get one elsewhere at a later date, that dont bother me.. No rush.
I've seen F7R's running 170bhp thru a 19 16v JB3 box without any issues and the GT Turbos have no issues putting 230bhp thru them either so I really wouldn't worry about sourcing a JC5 too much!
