Hi


This is Emiliano, from Argentina. I am a huge fan of Renault and particulary for the turbo models. Unfortunately, in our Country (3rd world or less) Renault didn't comercilize much turbo models... we only have R11 Turbo ph1 (Argentinean Version 5 doors, very strange) and a couple of days ago I could find an R21 Turbo ph2 (imported directly from Spain), which suffered a front crash and was repared with TXI parts... I am working with this restoration (a tough battle ), so I decided to join the forum in order to share your experiences, becasue UK has a very rich history with Renault Turbo models.

thanks in advance!

Emiliano

Hi Adey!!!

Yes we did!! The C3L 1565 cc 77x84 mm is a very used engine here, the most common model is R19 1.6i (middle 90s). If you need something, just tell me!

Regards

Emiliano

Great!! both R11 and R9 were produced here in Argentina, so we have plenty stock of parts!..... the opposite of the R21 turbo that I am restoring
