been done........ and is a good plan as the ph1 engine is more tuneable than a phase 2 they will make an easy 300- 340 bhp with the right bits inside it...... my firends v6 race spider is like a missile it's running around 320 bhp with a clio v6 ph1 race lump in it buy the clio engine.....it's newer technology that the old PRV and more tuneable and probably more reliable imo a much better idea

So I guess I'm better off spending money on the prv turbo unit already in the car! Not looking for huge gains, just want to sharpen up the acceleration and reduce the turbo lag, ideally without major mods or a bespoke engine build

So who can tell me the best route to install a Clio V6 phase 1 engine into a GTA. It comes complete with a six speed gearbox still fitted (no use I believe as in the Clio the engine is transverse?), wiring loom, ecu and most ancillaries and best part of all, it has been offered to me at a (I think) reasonable £1k. Can it be used? Will the UN1 gearbox fit? Is it worth doing?

You can buy a brand new L7X complete with all ancillaries for £1400(210bhp 10.5:1 Version).
So that makes the s/h engine look a little expensive. Aim to pay £500. The gearbox will be no use to you. Might be interesting if someone has a Venturi b/h available to copy.
