the spec is

port, polished, gas-flowed cylinder head
piper fast road cams
vernier pulleys
cams set for top end performance
stage 2 chip
uprated gaskets
cam belt was done just over a year ago

all the work was carried out by Nick at hillpower with all reciept to prove the work has been carried out
the engine is on 101K but still runs perfect, as smooth as the day it left the renault factory lol!!

well IIRC it reached 122BHP ATW but i dont have the printout lost it somewhere
the Reciept i have for the cylinder head conversion says £1550

sorry forgot to mention it has piper verneir pulleys

i also have fotos of the engine having the work done which looks really good in the folder!!!

Sounds mint mate!

Keep the cylinder head etc for the 2.0L conversion, and use a low milage meggy bottom end. Cheapest option IMO. Plus most meggy bottom ends seem fooking fast! No point putting a standard 1.8 16v head on it, with a 2.0L bottom end. Keep the head and cams etc, and you will have a rate fast hybrid.

Unless you are getting an willy F7R for a good price!

Agree, with that much spent on the head, you would be mad to use a standard F7R engine. If getting a megane engine you will have to have work done on head for it to fit clio. Williams engine will fit without such problem but can't imagine a standard williams head being better if yours has has headwork. Just bigger valves would be main benefit.

And judging by how much has been spent on the 1.8 engine, you will never get that back and any1 looking for new engine will tend to go the 2.0 route if given choice of a 1.8 and 2.0.

Just get a cheap BE and enjoy the benefits of your existing bits as they seem good spec.
