- This is a short version on my Renault 5 GT turbo engine build.
Many details are left out, but it gives a small overview of the project.
I really enjoyed this engine rebuild, and because im not trained or educated in doing this kind of work it was a huge challenge and a great achievement.
Hope that its fun to watch!
See the full series on the Renault 5 GT turbo on Seaside Garage - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Same engine in my Volvo 340 but without the turbo. I love this engine.
Its pretty damn good this engine!
@@SeasideGarage Hello,this motor have aluminium block ? Thank you))
@@cicikore13 No its iron :)
@@SeasideGarage Thanks
@@SeasideGarage How much for you to rebuild my c1j ? :)
Thx mate for all information about engine. Take care!
Thank you! :)
I think this is very similar if not the same as the "CHT" engine we have in Brazil.
Very cool video!
That could be! Its a very popular engine it seems... :)
Brazilian here
There's actually some big differences between the CHT and the "Cleon Fonte", the main one being that the CHT has a built from scratch cylinder head to optimize air flow, and create turbulence, to improve fuel efficiency
We also managed to considerably increase it's litrage, up to 1555 ccs
CHT é brabo, to fazendo 10km/L no etanol
É basicamente o mesmo motor, o corcel era um projeto da Renault, que estava em parceria coma Willys do Brasil, que foi comprada pela Ford, que precisava de um carro prqueno e gostou do projeto do r12, que estava em fase final, fizeram mudanças estéticas e venderam como Ford corcel
@@SeasideGarage It is. Over 27 million units were produced from 1962 up until its end in 2004 and the 1397cc variant being widely used . The Cleon-fonte was a development of the Ventoux engine and was notable for having a 5 main being crankshft because many manufactures at the time were still making engines with 3 main bearings. The only engine that out numbered it was the Chevvy V8.
Great video, really concise edit :)
Thanks! :D
super nice video. currently rebuilding a Renault D-Type, my first ever mechanic gig
Good luck! :D
@@SeasideGarage thank you! Do you have any advice on how to install the pistons in the block? The rings are "bloated" and I can't find a piece of anything with the same bore as the block
@@JoseSantos-ys3rj a pistonring compresser tool is cheap and pretty good to have :)
Another good video seppo.
Thanks Dan!
good evening, very nice video, can you tell me the tightening torques of this engine?
very nice to watch..
thank you :)
This video made my day. Excellent engine, excellent car. The engine should be a 1.4 liter engine ? and is it simullar to the C1E found in Campus?
great to hear!
Yes its the same engine pretty much. 1.4 :)
What torque specs for crankshaft bearing and rod bearing bolts?
great video i have a renault 5 gt turbo phase 2 to be rebuilt
where did you get the torque specs to rebuild the engine
I got a Haynes manual for it :)
Thanks!
Don’t forget the liner seals ☺️
Good spot.. They are installed but i did not show it in the small edit.. the longer videos are showing in.
But when measuring the protrusion its done without the seal.. :) (on the turbo/1,4 engine)
Hi, i must do the same job. Ive noticed that you put the shape of the big end bearing towards the back of the car ... Is it important ? Same for the 4 connecting rod or random for your case ??
Hmm cant remember of the top of my head, but its important to install them the same way that they came out... :)
Sure but i disassembled 12yr ago. Impossible to remember or find information. Next step put piston and rods together so i need to choose quickly...
@@bully6467 ah... Well the connecting rod is a mirrored part it seems so i dont think the direction matter that much... I would do put then in the same way as I did then... But I am not sure! :)
@@SeasideGarage exact mirrored part. Then I think the same but not sure if no more clue i will make same as you. Thank you
What's the name of the tool you use to check the valve hermiticity? Thanks!
Its just a vacuum pump :)
Thanks@@SeasideGarage, I realized that, but thought it would be a specific one for the job.
@@TheJcman72 I just used one that normally are just to bleed brakes... it worked very good.. :)
Are the engines from the standard R5 1.4 and the GT Turbo same?
I think so... :)
@@SeasideGarage Thank you :)
