later 2.0 units on the meganes and such are not as common a swap as they dont run a distributor. The 1.8 is just much easier to find over here but a williams 2.0 will drop in exactly the same!!

Are they EDIS (i.e. coil packs) or coil-on-plug? Surely that's a good thing, apart from that I've heard the French stuff eats coil packs for a living.

I had to help fix a Megane coupe (old shape...X plate?) the other week...that was coil-on-plug (and said devices had gone 'weak'). Which engine was that? I think it was a 1.8. Definitely 16v.

hi. could you tell me the same too. i'm from ireland and i learnt to drive in volvos (the family has had 2 360 glts, 940 turbo and an 850 glt 20v), although i am an out and out vw nut (currently building a mk1golf 20vt), i just want to build something different and wonderful and something to shock the boy racers over here and to rekindle the volvo love affair.jimbo2k wrote:Hi mate, thinking of doing the same thing with mine when i get my 1.4. Could you tell me how easy/hard is was to do? Pm me if you want. Cheers

I believe it goes something like this...
Mechanicals are easy - the longblock pretty much bolts in. You may have to swap a few things like the sump pan.
The electronics will depend on which donor car you're using, but may require some careful thought.

Some updated Engine pics. Looking fairly clean after a good wash. I am about to reroute the filter and change the induction side of things a little so thought i would post some updated pics of engine. Note colour coded strut brace.

I do like the strut brace mate, as much as I'll wind you up about being rice when I see you, there's some awesome work in your car, I wish I could do some of the engineering you do!
