Megane 2.0l B/E and 1.8 16v head

[McPikie]

Is this a good match?

I can't be arsed with all the machining and stuff to put the full 2.0l lump in.

Just wondered how much better it would be than the 1.8l lump???

[Martin]

will work spot on...many meggy btm end 1.8s are quicker than williams engined cars....

No machining required to drop a 2.0 in though...

[McPikie]

so the bottom end is a straight swap? Brun says the ECU has to be changed for the 2.0 one or the 1.8 chipped

[Martin]

yeah thats true and the starter motor needs changing too iirc...

[McPikie]

So, for the conversion, I basically need my 1.8 head and loom, megane bottom end, starter motor, and ECU?

That's it?

flywheel.


yes

flywheel's are the same aint they Jon??? also get a willy fanimold Pikie, valver one only seems to be better if your running bodies from what other people have found.

[McPikie]

See, as this is my only car, I will be dropping it off friday morning and picking it up Sunday afternoon, so I need to have it done you see.

I can get stuff like manifolds at a later time, as long as it runs fine on the valver stuff.

[J o n]

righ, basically you will need a bottom end then, starter motor (make sure you get a head shield for it too, otherwise they tend not to last as long) and then its just ECU, which you can use one of Gunners, prolly cheaper and he'll have a std map i'd imagine...
