[QUOTE="yotah1, post: 54272, member: 599"] If it's an F4R from a 172 or 182 then it should fit but the engine mounts will have to be custom made, and the 5 speed gearbox will fit, tightly but will fit. If it's an F4R from a 197, then the 6 speed gearbox will never fit so you'd have to find a new gearbox. Anyway, for any engine swap it means a Motec (or other brand) ECU custom mapped for the engine as all the engine's wiring will not communicate properly with the Twingo's central computer and you won't be able to start it on the normal wiring setup. Wiring + Motec ECU + man's work usually goes aroung 1500£. Currently looking into fitting a 197 Phase 2 F4R in my RS for next year with a 5 speed gearbox, hoping for 215 hp output :) [/QUOTE]
