I have the opportunity of getting my hands on one from Europe, its LHD and needs resto but the engine and box are good, can anyone confirm if its the same engine as the 5 Turbo as if so it might be worth breaking.

I thought the 11 ran the larger cc block, i.e. it was a 1700cc turbo and the 5 was a 1400cc turbo |

Either way, even just the induction system is worth having.

Nope both the same 1400cc engine Did you mean to quote me there..? :lol: I was just saying, regardless of engine size, the carb and turbo is always, always worth having. Many an A-series owner / Air cooled flat 4 owner will have that off you in a heartbeat. Myself included. |

Did they not do the Renault 5 in 1400cc and 1700c, i vaguely remember?
We also had a Trafic Camper MK1 in recently with a 1700cc and i made a joke its probably a 5 Turbo engine!
Ps Thanks for replies

Its the same 1400cc engine Learn something new every day! I always assumed they would have used the 1.7 in the 11! |

Ps Thanks for replies The GT Turbo came in a 1.4 C1J engine, same as the 11 and 9 turbos. There was a 1.7 engined 5 - the GTX. Pretty nippy but no turbo to give it the punch the others had  |

Wasn't the Volvo 480 turbo the same engine but 1.7? I seem to remember there was a Volvo connection...

The 480 runs a B18FT engine. Same basic 1.7 8v lump. It's a Renault engine. If you pull one out of a Volvo it'll have Renault badges all over it  |
