Clio 197/200 to 250

[-Jo-]

Hi lads,

long time since posting here (2015 oops...)

Random question:

Did someone convert the 197/200 with full 250 setup ?
Im not talking engine wise but everything included. Engine looms, dashloom, steering, ect.

To avoid confusion and questions:

I have a Clio 3 Cup car (genuine cup car), that runs from factory on magnetti mirelli set ups. All that sh*te is removed, included the N/A engine and gearbox. Also steering (magnetti mirelli) is removed, meaning, i'll start from a bare rolling shell .

The idea is to convert everything to 250, as i got all the parts from a 2012 crashed 250. Full running gear, loom, dashloom, speedo, pedals, steering ect.

What i'm after is some advice because off the ABS missing on the cup. As this is a cup racer, on cup suspension and drivetrain, ABS is out off the question. How do i fix this and avoid electrical gremlins ?

TIA,
Jo

Don't know anyone done a 250 set up, most people following the Mk2 Megane 225/230 and thats been done on here by @DaveL485 and @Mark_L

The 250 engine is very similar, so a lot will apply.

i know, got another 200 with 225 forged set up. But those coversions are easy peasy, just modify the looms and done. Regular streetcars have the speedo signal via the abs unit. I'm not conviced to put abs in a cup car...

I would have said aftermarket ECU seems the way to go and give you far more options and ease of adjustment later on, should go well when done

If the shell is empty is it any more complex than shoving the full 250 engine and loom in there?

I’m with @Duncan Grier go stand-alone, it’ll make it loads easier.
