Hybrid, which way is best?

[alex_blue16v]

So for a while ive been thinking ive hydrid'n the valver and i was just wonderin what is the best way to go in peoples opinions.
should i go f7r block on a 1.8 head, considering its gonna get flowed and cammed etc, and if i do this can i run it on the 1.8 ecu with a remap.
or an f7r block with a williams head and a williams ecu, also flowed and cammed etc?

any help or ideas appreciated
cheers alex

buy a wrapped up williams n transfer evrything.

sell wot u dont use...works out cheaper in the long run


failing that, meg lump, worked valver head will b fine and a remapped ecu will be of benefit on all if ur gunna run cams.

sweet, cheers boys h
ave to start puttin some money together, any ideas wot cost im lookin at for an engine?

[MAXIBOY]

engine 400 to 600. complete car 1000

depends tbh. i just paid £125 for a bottom end. will see how it runs soon lol

full cars can go from as little as 400 upwards. near a grand n id say ul b pushed to make a decent profit off breakin one .

ok, a final thing im gonna widetrack it as well so ill probably go the route of buying a written off williams, just to check the bits i need for a widetrack are:
Anti Roll Bar
Wishbones
Driveshafts
Shocks and Springs
anything else? would it just be easier to change the whole subframe etc over as one.
cheers boys

Do a search dude, there's loads of post's about widetracking...and theres a downloadable pdf over on retro renault iirc

[MAXIBOY]

yes mate. buy a williams drop the subframe engine and box a swap the whole lot over. replace anything that looks dodgy while its out though. then break the rest and sell your entire front end and ecu to someone looking for a valver upgrade.

i run a standard valver head on a meg bottom end with no problems

albeit with performance cams in.
