B18u intake valves - Page 2

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

Rev limiter? What is one of those for?

Anadinolin · Sep 3rd, 2015, 06:55

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

Anadinolin · Sep 4th, 2015, 10:02

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

doingitsideways · Sep 4th, 2015, 11:16

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!

Anadinolin · Sep 4th, 2015, 13:36

I hope to get the box aswell, and hope that it has lsd if not I'll rob it from my wife's megane sport lol. (could swap the engines, do you think she would notice?) lol

doingitsideways · Sep 4th, 2015, 23:04

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

Anadinolin · Sep 5th, 2015, 19:49

It just sits there doing nothing

Found an engine and gearbox, the gearbox has lsd in it

Anadinolin · Sep 7th, 2015, 05:58

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?
