Megane megane vs laguna f4rt differences

[Adey]

so looking at second hand engines, the difference in the price of these 2 engines is massive. what are there differences?

 

[Brigsy]

I have an espace f4rt. Cams are different apparantly to the megane lump. The turbo is different too

 

[Adey]

any idea if thats both cams or just the inlet? turbo i have heard is different too, internally are they the same? strength and such?

 

[R5turbo2]

You going this route with the clio now

 

[Adey]

i love to tinker, very tempted to do so yeah. though looking more for a complete engine so i can have the head pistons and rods out of it, turbo clio (mk2) is still one i havent ticked off the list.

@Red21 or @quadrastu might know more in-depth, but I would say it makes sense for the base block and heads to be the same, with different cams, turbo and engine map.

Would be interested to know for sure myself actually.

 

[Adey]

if the manifold is the same, and i think it is a turbo swap would be easy, slap in a a 172/182 inlet cam, 250 turbo and would be well on too 280bhp with ease. obviously alot more involved than that but you get the jist

 

[Brigsy]

Inlet manifold looks pretty much identical to the 225ps. I have a full espace engine here that you could take away for a ton. Turbo kaputt

Th...that would fit my Clio....

**NO Dave, MUST NOT**

Stop doing this to me you bastards!

 

[Adey]

Coming any where close to mine again @Brigsy ? I'm game for that

Would the 225 pistons and rods work in the F4R lump to reach high 200s?? Alternative to forged Catcam Rods and Wossner pistons.

Mine is 313.5 / 325ib ft with a larger blower ..

I'm trying not to become mildly obsessed with 300hp

Too late, evidently.

Don't resist. Just roll over and open your wallet.

the wallet isn't a problem it's finding the cheapest way to achieve the result

 

[tutuur]

cams, turbo, injectors and pistons are different. might aswell put 225 pistons with old style F7 rods in your current f4r engine. old style F7 rods are forged and way beefier.
would need to disable vvt with the 225 pistons though as they don't have valve cutouts...

Depends on which ones though I believe ?
