I personally think the C1J is the better of the 2 engines for power and tunability options but then as already said the 1.7 lump has got the efi so will start 1st time and everytime:rasp: unlike a carbed C1J.

I can vouch for the condition of the items as I had the Total Seal piston rings of Vala for my C1J engine and they didn't even look used still could see all markings.

With an R5 you have loads of pipes you can re-route these to make it look less messy like in my R5 bay before I removed the C1J lump in favour of the F4r

Here's a couple of pics of Ivan's clio Turbo (I am sure he won't mind me posting them up) -

F4R = 172 lump The R5 GTT (C1J) lump will be easy to do matey and is a good sound engine 120bhp in standard form.

The C1J is also cheaper to repair if things go wrong than the 2l. Just look after them regular service often.

I take it you are talking about the C1J lump out of an R5, I would have thought it to be a fairly easy conversion as the 5 has no proper ecu and wiring is basic. The hardest part would prob be souring the parts I have done a similair thing myself but ditched the C1J in favour of the F4r so if...

Cheers matey already got a multimeter just ordered a power probe:)

Perfect many thanks I will give it a shot.

Yeah it is a phase 1 but if you have phase 2 diagrams i suppose it is better than nothing i assume the only real diff between the 2 looms would be the TB

specifically main connector of the Engine loom and what pin does what. For the white connector in this pic

What does everyone use for the wiring manuals??

:(

Anybody on here got a copy of the wring diagrams for the 172 I am attemtping to identify the pins on main loom plug?

Many many thanks guys

Many thanks guys any more will be cool

I just love R5 GT Turbo's, coming on nice matey

For the GTX bracket - 7700718613 £20+ VAT from Renault:)

What I found out today R5 GTX - 172 Cup -

That is the best pics I can get they where taken side by side:o The top pic with the big white connector I take it the main loom connection which then connects to another loom that goes into the car? Don' suppose anyone knows what each pin on this connection is??

Cheers matey, I managed to source the part number of RTOC as the block is Renault and used on the GTX models.

So what Volvo model is the bracket off and does anyone have a part number if not model should suffice.

6pk850 ???? ?? where from Oh and as James says please can we have the cup bracket part number Cheers James

Not yet still in bits in the shed:) trying to work out how it would go. Yhe cup setup is that what the zinc bracket is part of?

Perfect what Renault car is the belt off ? IS the zinc bracket to the alternator standard?? whats the part number for that?

Hi, I am after yet more advice with regards to the 172, I have removed the A/c and the power steering so am left with just the Alt, Water pump and crank giving me alot shorter belt run. Now has anybody else done this and what belt have you used? Cheers James

As per title I am in the progress of placing a 172 lump into my R5 GTT but need a little assistance to what is what on the loom If I post some pics can someone please add arrows to what cable is what. Many thanks James

Hello Paul, Welcome to the forum matey, a shame I could get the clio TT I just didn't have the heart to sell the 5 so next best thing was to do a conversion but wanted to keep Renault so 172 lump it is. Should hopefully get some update pics up soon:D

It is a very nice car and I would also love to own a piece of renault history, that car has got to be an easy £30k+

Cheers Matey, think I just won this item on fleabay from you:rasp::)
