Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines Mi16

Okay, I know it's not quite on topic here but does anyone know about (or know anyone that does) the 2 Liter version of the Mi16 as is evidently found in the Renault 405?

That is apperently the engine that is in Pop's Berkeley land speed racer.

I am drilling through the web to find information, but if it weren't for the kindness of others I wouldn't even know that much at this point.

So anyone with pointers, performance information, speculation, whatever, I would appreciate it.

Just because:

2.0L
I4
DOHC
Ally head
Iron block
fully counterweighted crank (supposedly)

Rumors of 'good to 8000 stock'

Have a friend in BC that rally races them, I think the engine also comes in the Puegout 309, try this link and get an interperter he had to buy a lot of his parts from France. http://shop.ebay.fr/items/__309-gti-16_W0QQ_frsZ1QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em359

An additional forum in English he told me is http://www.505turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17
