renault 9 F7P conversion

[schakal]

decided to put a f7p engine in the renault 9 now .
due to the renault 9 being a less popular car along the range
i cant find a lot of documentation on the net or elsewhere .
so i will raise the questions here ,
would appreciate any tips and help
from people thats done this sort of conversions before

here is the gearbox (jb3)

and the engine to go on the car from renault 19 16v

now the main question i cant solve is about the electrics :?
am i going to be able to simply swap the engine and the engine loom
and be able to run ???

or does this conversion also involve swapping the whole
electric loom in the car (behind the dashboard )
which means getting the dashboard and all the plastic
trim off and replace them with the ones from a 16v :roll:

Dude, plz stick to one topic.. is much easier for an overall look and much better for the forum.

For my swap i had taken the complete wiring loom behind the dashboard also the part to the fuelpump (in the gastank).
My idea was to figure the needed parts out and put it together to the original wiring loom or you can replace the complete wiring loom. Its much easier to sort out the electrix for the heater then for the ecu etc. The loom for you're lights and stuff is a different part.

For the fuelpump you can take easy the one from a 5 GT Turbo, its an external pump, which you can place next to the tank.

sorry for the mess matey ,it looks like i am the only r9 owner left in this place .not much happening otherwise

steven , what car did you work on for the conversion ??
what loom did you use ??? r19 16v or clio 16v ??

now i got a dash loom from a clio 16v complete with both fuse boxes ,fuses relays , headlight connectors ,rear light connectors ,roof light ,instrument panel , heater etc etc connectors . plus many others that does not exist in the r9 .
do i just install the clio loom and cut the connectors that dont fit the
r9 equipment ?? i.e : heater connector
and than cut this connector from the r9 loom and attach it to the clio one ?

If you stick to one topic with all you're 9-questions its much easier.

I had a 9 phase2 and i had a wrecked 19-16v, I had taken all the 19-parts that i thought need. Engine, subframe, all looms etc.
However i've trashed the 9 on the freeway in traffic jam, so its gone and i have sold the 19 stuff. I haven't got the chance to build in the engine.

The enginemounts from the 19-16v are also different from the clio. The clio engine is mounted on top of the engine, while the 19 engine complete stands on the subframe.
Maybe its easier for you to search a wrecked 19 and swap everything 1-to-1 over. including subframe alle wiring looms etc.

like steven said: stick to 1 topic for your questions.
People who search for information later on, can find it much easier!
