I am fitting a B18FT engine from a 440 Volvo into a Renault 5 GTX (same block). This comes with all looms and ECUs.
With a view to the future, Can anyone tell me if this is possible:
93 mm stroke x 82.7 bore = 1,998cc (F3R Renault) OR
82 mm stroke x 88mm bore = 1,995cc (Volvo B20FT?)
Chambered head from 2.0 Volvo 480 N/A injection engine.
Volvo 440 turbo + manifolds.
Are there any other 2 litre blocks from Clios/21s that would fit the Volvo head?
Pistons could be any made by Landmark (forged, with varying chamber volumes), such that CR could be 8-8.5.

With this much swept volume, boost pressures (and lag) could be kept low. Gearbox is same as GTT, with relatively long final drive, compared to Volvo.
Does the F3R engine have the piston oil sprays that the B18E has?
thanks,
Mark
