[QUOTE="oscar, post: 166315, member: 2757"] what kind of engine mate? if you mean a megane engine then the best place to look for an engine would be breakers yards or on megane owners forums where engines with service history can be seen. being an F4R engine, it shares the same common engine mount positions for top engine mount etc but the lower gearbox mount will need to be fabricate to fit - not a problem. it's basically a direct swap and in terms of labour costs alone to have the engine out, and megane engine in would be around 700-1,000 (i can recommend you certain people who are great at this sort of project down in england). the next thing to then do would be to trailer the car to a standalone ECU specialist to have the entire engine custom wired into an aftermarket ECU like neil (singlespeed) had done. the reason i suggest going down the megane route is that i get the impression you couldn't care less about the twingos engine, i suspect you just want a 'charged renault sport twingo that goes like stink, that you'll no doubt still have in 20 years time as a mad max style future classic (renault 5 gt turbo style!) and this would be the easiest route. supercharging a twingo engine is unchartered territory and if you pop a piston or bend a con rod / valve, you're back at square one and needing an entire engine rebuild. the megane engine is at least proven to be more than capable on standard internals + a remap at around 270 bhp, and the R26 transmission has an factory LSD option too.
