Yeah, I really like the B20F.
Very good torque curve from really low down, almost all the way to the limiter. Loves to rev too

All this talk of a 2.0 conversion has got me thinking, any f-type Renault engine will fit with a few bolt on bits?
F4r from a clio 172/182/192? Or if I can get one, F4rt 225bhp? (teehee fart) Bit torn though as it's my grandfather's car and I want to keep it stock/concourse as possible for sentimental reasons...although my grandfather did do some bits to the car to make it that bit quicker...

I think if you went with any of the F4's, you'd have to change management as well.
Would be good though, especially a fart

Yeah, I'm gonna programme up a custom ecu. Got one from my old escort that I'll use and get an anti-lag for the turbo
Gotta find a fart first, if not I'll settle for an f4r n try to get a 192 version from the clio cup. Still toying with the idea, I want to keep the original engine in there, but the more power seems to be very nice, can't stop dreaming about it lol

Yeah, would be nice.
You'll find though, that unless you can graft the Renault gearbox in as well, the Volvo 'box is the weak link. Would be much better with the Renault 'box though. Don't know if they did one with an LSD, but my Turbo suffers greatly with lack of traction, will be much worse when I've manually converted it and fitted the bigger turbo, etc!

Unless she drives it like it should be driven, probably not!

Ordered the engine...f4rT 774 from a r26 megane without ancillaries negotiating a price for the 7speed box, both have 1 year warranty and I'm looking to get the fueling system, manifolds (intake and exhaust) and hopefully the turbo too from the same suppliers.
Any thoughts on what else I should get?
