r19 16v and clio 16v
Re: r19 16v and clio 16v
So . . . are you selling or not?
as for the engine, I'm not sure. I seem to remember reading somewhere they are similar, but couldn't say for sure. Clio ones are easier to come by surely. Loads on ebay, 1.8ltr ones at least . . .

ha ha! farynuff. women, blessing and a curse I'm doing a valver swap soon, and plan on doing a walkthrough on it while I go. I'll let you know when I start. there'll be a thread on it anyway when I start.
Im going fuel injection on mine. It is simple to put the engine on carbs, you can use the 1.7 renix unit, just need a manifold made up. I'd recommend getting a haynes manual, 99p ebay job. Tonnes of stuff in there. Just read it every now and then, familiarise yourself with it.
What pug did you have? I've got a mate who's ITBing his 106 rallye at the mo, its very nice.

cool stuff! My mates one is orgeous. Nice cars.
The renix is like a simple ecu. controls ignition etc, reads the flywheel speed etc.

Re: r19 16v and clio 16v
ahh i get it now.
so if i was to bike carb a 16v im assuming i just need a fuel reg to drop the pressure down and run the standard pump in the tank?
