no, the d4ft loom, sensors and ecu will be remapped to run the bigger engine. Got a spare cheap d4ft engine though....... slap on a cheap standalone jobs a good unSo is there the original D4ft, loom, ecu etc going spare..?

slightly of topic here but think this thread has made me stumble across something...
The JR5 gearbox is the same pattern as the jb/jc gearbox clearly....
BUT
from pictures alone it looks like we can remove the jr5 bellhousing and fit it to a jb/jc gearbox casing the inner bolts look very very similar placed.
IF it does fit then basically theres the hydralic clutch conversion for 5 turbos

only problem i can see is the diff arrangement being different. jb/jc diff is an outy and the jr is an inny, jr setup would need a driveshaft support on the block
but then it's probable to be able to build the jr gearbox shafts up with jc gear if the ratios are what people would want.

Little update which is a decent step forward but without actually doing anything. This does mean I can now move forward and order the correct parts.
So i was donated a Twingo rs133 clutch (fitment looks identical to a clio 182 item) and a cover. The cover was the important part for me and I needed a hydraulic specific cover that fits a 172 flywheel. This is that gem. And seeming looks to be a very a unique renault part only fit to a few cars. From what I can see it is rs133 and renault wind 1.6 specific. The clio 3 with the same engine looks to have a bigger 220mm clutch setup which wouldn't work with my bodgery.
normal bearing cover plate
Hydro bearing cover
All thats left there now is for me to source an uprated friction plate for a 133/182 to take a chunk more torque. Uprated covers arnt readily available that I can find but as the standard 182 clutch can take 220lbft im going in with fingers crossed I can get away with just an uprated disk. (might bite me in the ass down the line but we will see
)
Second up was a flipping huge 3 inch decat downpipe from Jon
for me to chop and bend into shape for the twingo.
Still waiting on the cambelt stuff to turn up but the planning can now move forwards.

It looks the same as a 172/182 item, CG Motorsport are going to confirm then make me something to suit
Had a decent chat with them this morning. They make a dual friction plate which is designed to have a decent increase in torque capacity but retain a little driveability rather than a full race/ multi puck clutch. It has a organic friction plate one side and cerametallic pucks on the other.
