Put E7J in to 1996 Twingo? - Fitch - 09.09.2010 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. RE: Put E7J in to 1996 Twingo? - Oliver - 10.09.2010 Hi Fitch, basically it´s same effort like a 1,6e conversion, i think you can keep your gearbox, as this engine uses also jb1 and the starter is also located at the rear. The ratios will fit also quite well. I think only one thing might become tricky: The airfilter housing at the top of the engine. May be it´s too high and big and you need to replace it by the plunger of e.g. the Clio/R19 1.8 88hp engine (F3P with single point injection)... ...and install an external filter housing. Or perhaps a open cone filter at the top of the engine, but I think this is also illegal in israel and will reduce power due to hot air sucking. regards RE: Put E7J in to 1996 Twingo? - Fitch - 10.09.2010 Hi Oliver, thank you for the reply. What about the engine mounts or the manifolds, any problem there? What about the A/C, ECU, Alternator? About the air filter, I think it's easy problem to solve (K&N suction kit). Thanks, Nir. RE: Put E7J in to 1996 Twingo? - Oliver - 10.09.2010 I think that´s clear, that the exhaust system has to be modified. I would use manifold, down pipe and catalyst from the E7J and make the flange of the twingo-mid-section specific. If you use the engine out of the R19 then it should fit without problems as the R19 also like the Twingo don´t use the upper right engine mount, so you don´t need another timing belt cover: see http://www.renault19world.de/presentation/controller.php?page=facts_motor&subpage=02 Regarding AC, and alternator this should fit, may be the hoses have to modified. Does your twingo actually have AC? Regarding ECU: I would try to get a complete engine, that means engine with ALL ancillary units, the COMPLETE engine cable harness, with ALL sensors INCLUDING the ECU.
