Same 'F' type engine as the ones running in our clios .. volvo used to buy this engine off Renault and use it on the 480 turbo. Machined off the 'VOLVO' on the intake tho .. didn't seem appropriate to leave 'VOLVO' showing
running 1bar boost .. producing about 200 ponies
looks like the F3P engine as in clio rsi and many more! obv just a charged version
My mate has them made up and makes a mint selling them on Ebay.love the tax disk holder where did you get it lol
