Hi there, This might sound weird, but I am having doubts which engine I have, I said it was a C2j cause it's a 89 renault, but i remember that this car is 72 HP and on the tech page, the C2j didnt come in 72HP?? is my mmory bad or is the engine a non-turbocharged C1j?? Is there a place to look for on the engine? Thanks.

There is most certainly a place to look for, in the engine bay on an oval piece of metal. are you sure it's not a 1,7 litre?

Hey there, Well I'll look into that plate
But I am sure my car is 1.4 not that ignorant

Hi again.

The exact model number of your engine is at the engine number plate, which is right at the front of the block. C2J doesn't mean the engine has no turbo, and c1J doesn't mean the engine has.

- c is the name of engine family - Cleon - pushrod engines
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 these are numbers describing the engine in more detail:
- 1 single draught carburettor
- 2 dual draugth carb
- 3 electronic FI
- 4 electronic FI, 16v? ie - the newest K4M
- 5 single carb, cross-flow head
- 6 dual carb, cross-flow head
- 7 EFI, cross-flow head

- J is the displacement code. - means it's a 1,4 litre

power can be read from suffixes - if your engine is a C2J 730 - then it surely has 60 hp
C2J 768 - should have 68 hp

dunno the code for 72, but I doubt if a C engine in "cheverny" actually had 72hp .. All I heard was a C3J 55 HP...

Thanks Artur, I will do that, but now I am out of town and will return in say 2 weeks I'm enjoying the forum alot. And expect the impossible, it's a different country and maybe they had a different engine for the cheverny
