renault extra 1.7 turdo..
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
my extra van, originally i fitted a 2 litre laguna engine.. now ive put the volvo 1.7 turbo engine in... other than an oil cooler and forge actuator the engine is standard. i had scoff de restrict the ecu and have since fitted the 440 turbo gearbox as i blew reno 5 turbo one to bits.. fitted a high performance clutch disk with standard pressure plate it still slips a tiny bit but i didnt want full race clutch as i still wanted to have an easy drive..
i used 1.8 clio rad and original 440 intercooler ( which needed a bit of chopping and plastic welding to fit ) reno 5 turbo driveshatfs and brakes.. had pipecraft in essex make an exhaust, this was done originally for the 2litre but i just cut off the down pipe and welded the volvo one on... for fuelling i took fuel tank out of a 1.4 petrol energy engined extra van and pulled the fuel pump.. i took both fuel pumps apart and fitted the volvo one inside the renault housing so it'd fit in the renault tank. filter on the outside..
ive uploaded a small video, pics to follow of fitting etc not that there is many!

I'm totally confused. There seems to be three different vans, three different engines and four different colours! Nuts.
Btw, the Volvo turbo final install in the J plate Blue (later purple?) one looks great.

It is confusing. I'll label the photos soon !! I've done three two litre vans. Had another gt turbo one which some else had half done and I tidied it up and fitted new turbo etc. the last blue one I've had since brand new. It's off the road now as the underside is rotten. I have bought a v reg van which I'm restoring then I'll swap all the bits round !! I've some pics of that somewhere.
