does this actually work? the later 75hp ones only have 1.2l and I've never seen forced induction on them, only clio engine swaps and stuff
I guess you got a point there yeah
don't really want to get a rwd car as a first one, most E36 here are trash and they need a lot of gas
linku linku
True, but those are a little more difficult to find aren't they.
The D4F engine in the 16V actually got a factory turbo variant later on, found in things like the 2nd gen Twingo GT, Clio, Captur and Dacia Duster. It makes about 100hp stock, and its internals can safely handle ~150hp with new injectors, ECU reflash and a few other things.
It uses the same block as the 60hp 8V and 75hp 16V, but its cylinder head and internals are different.
Civic ep3 type r
so you're saying the engine from later twingos is a bolt in swap into the old one? sorry I'm reading up on renault engines rn, know basically nothing
The 1.2 TCe should be, in theory at least. The only real issue I see is the stock Twingo gearbox, which is rated for very low torque. You'd have to upgrade to a JH3/JB3 gearbox.
That, and figure out a way to make the electronics work, but that should be relatively easy in a car with as little electronics as a Twingo.
hm I think I'll be better off getting a 2nd gen Twingo with a D4FT engine now though and then swapping it back to a 1st gen shell once I'm familiar with it
>I'm at the point of giving up and buying some crap slushbox
if it's your first car it literally doesn't fucking matter you stupid baby
It'd be less of a hassle for sure, although I don't know how much 2nd gen GTs go for in your country.
