Hello, My name is Nir, I'm 23 from Israel.
I have an opportunity to buy 1996 twingo with engine problem for a good price. Since I already had an original 1995 one, with the 55BHP 1239cc motor, I thought to put in to the 1996 more powerful engine.
The E7J is very common in Israel from the R5, R19 etc. and produces around 80BHP which is not bad...
I searched the web to look for a project like this, but everyone put in the 1.6 Megane engine or the 16V Clio one - this conversions aren't LEGAL in Israel. So the only sane option is the one I'm talking about.
Is there any problems to fit E7J engine in to a Twingo? (both the c3g and the e7j comes from the same R5 model).
What else I'll need to replace in order to run the engine properly (A/C? TRANSMISSION? ECU?)?
Thank you in advance,
best regards,
Nir Svirski.
