I want to see one in an r12, only i want to do it  AFAIK the block design dates back to the 850 dauphine and i would assume (perhaps wrongly) that the block is drilled for most any reanult fitment. so it *might* be a case of bolting the correct block mounts and bingo! N/A 5 lumps fit dauphines and r8's, there was that pair of r8's in retro cars that were sporting r5 gtt blocks. if not engine mounts are a doddle to make  so whats it going in  almost related, do 16v clios have the same bell housing pattern as r5 gtt's? |

Thanks for the info so far chaps, much appreciated.
As for what its going in , it may be just a pipe dream as yet
but it ain't a renault!!!!
Cheers magnumpi, look forward to them, I need to do a bit of homework
its all down to the mounting of the engine, and how the original engine
mounts to the renault.
If it does work, well, big smiles!!

Did you mean an R5 Turbo (the mid-engined one) or R5 GT Turbo? AFAIK the block design dates back to the 850 dauphine and I would assume (perhaps wrongly) that the block is drilled for most any reanult fitment. The engine in the 4CV, floride, dauphine & early R4 was the 3 bearing 'Ventoux' engine (very similar to the austin 7 / reliant 750 engine) but the R8 (and loads of models since) used the 5 bearing 'sierra' engine. The block is basically the same on the 850cc - 1397cc R4, 5 mk1 & 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 18. The head was different on the 8 Gordini and 5 Gordini and the block was machined on the R8Gordini. The block has mounting 'lugs' in different places for different fittments. The R5 Mk2 has a transverse fitting but the Mk1 was longditudinal. For an R12 you'd be best looking for a 5 Gordini turbo engine (much better head) and use 5GT turbo induction bits. You may have to use a different block if you want to use the original mounts. when your serious give Del at www.renospeed.co.uk a call, and ask him what he used. |
