My Project Renault

Thought some of you might want to see what I’m up to when I’m not ripping around with the N-E-C-C. If there are any questions feel free to ask.

Shit man that looks amazing! How much power are you expecting to put down? Give us some specs on the motor!

Any pics of the whole car?

Thanks Dave… Power I’m not sure what I will be looking at for HP. Ok engine specs.

Engine : J7T Renault 2.2L Engine
ok this engine was sold in Europe as a 2.0L with 132hp. They also made a 2.0L 12v Turbo version also which was around 200hp. Now my American version was produced for all of 2 yrs in North America and was a 2.2L with a whopping 91hp… Now I have changed out the Intake manifold. Also i have chosen the 8valve head since I can get Turbo cams for it and it makes more torque than the 12 valve head.

Frame : It is a 1984 Renault Fuego. I have gotten rid of the front and rear bumper in favor of the 1992 Argentinean versions. Also I have scraped the headlamps in favor of the European versions. Also the rear seat will not be making a comeback on this project.

Other: I have ripped out the Bosh L Jetronic unit and replaced it with the Megasquirt ECU. Bigger brakes (9.3" stock , new ones are 12" from Integra)

hehe that car mildy resembles an older gen mustang :slight_smile:

good to see you used lots of assembly lube on the motor. :tonqe:

Yeah I have video of me fisting the cylinders with lube
