SithDowell Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Awrite troops... I've been thinking about possible engine swaps for my K12, trying to find out what's possible and what's realistic. At the moment I have a CR12DE putting out a heady 80bhp. It works fine and never gives me any trouble, but it feels like I'm flogging it to death when I drive it briskly. I know the CR16DE is an option but if I was going to the trouble of a swap I may as well make it worthwhile. I also know that the K9K is shared between the Micra and the Clio, so I started wondering if there was enough similarity between platforms for a 172 2.0 Clio engine transplant. Internet searches have turned up plenty of other people who have asked the same question, but no definitive answer. Any knowledge or advise would be gratefully received! Thanks, Sith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi Sith First thoughts are.....there's only one to find out if it fits ! However, in reality you wouldn't want to buy an engine and transmission only to find out that the transplant doesn't pan out as it should. Hope you find the definitive answer....and if you do, please let us know as it would be an interesting project to follow Cheers, Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
