5 GT Turbo RENAULT 5 TL RIO (B18FT Build)

[Joshua Thompson]

Hi there everyone.

I have decided to make a Build Thread for my Renault 5 TL RIO which i am doing a B18FT conversion on
I'm sure some of you guys have seen a couple of pictures posted on here. from now on I'm going to
post updates and pictures of my progress on here.

The Build is almost pretty much done. waiting for my clutch kit to arrive so that i can send the engine off
for balancing , The cylinder head has been refurbed i have had 3 angle valve seats done to allow more
gas flow and had the head skimmed swell as valves restated etc. as far as im aware its got a Clio RSI cam
in it.

Will post more pictures shortly :ag:

Believe it or not but this TL RIO Comes with power steering as standard which is a bonus :bf:

Is it a 1.4 though? I used the power steering off the 1.7 GTX in my Raider
