If Simon is to transplant the whole engine as in the pic, with the loom etc into his 440 (Which is probably currently SPi) then there shouldn't be a problem with the Robou and Motronic units

Having owned a few Renault 5's I concur - single point injection system for the later N/A cars, blow thru carb for the turbos.

Volvo 480 turbos, multi-point injection even though Renault engine.

No you are all right!! the single point injection i was reffering to is the one i'm removing from the 440. And the turbo is multi point which i'm going to put in the 440 as the upgrade. I didn't word the email correctly sorry Jim! Still not found a loom for the engine bay that fits the 2 Ecu's on page 1 of this thread if anyone knows of one please.?

Sent you an email Simon, it's not in perfect condition but will do the job to get your project up and running (leak tight AFAIK) so you can have it for free.

I'll be down your way on the 25th of August, going to York Raceway
