Is it worth a swap f3p

Post by Lukey1984 » 18 Nov 2015 09:54 pm

Hi I have a Volvo 340dl 1.7 but I also gave a Renault Clio rsi 1.8 8v

Seems like alot of effort for 100cc, surely the Clio is fast because it is half the size of the Volvo?

if you want a simple swap find a 440 2.0, same basic engine that pretty much just bolts in

I'm putting an F3R in mine (2.0 8v).
They are injection standard but I'll be running bike carbs on mine.
I don't really think the F3P would be worth the effort.

Is there a way of checking what engine it is as when brought my clio had a new engine put in and have had it out with a lot of cars included valvers and left them
And the only mods are filter and full system
