Some questions about R4

[Tom R4]

Ok, I have some questions about R4...
1. which car wheels with three holes suits on r4?
2. I was thinking to put brakes from r5 on r4... Is that possible?
3. Does r5 engine (1.1 or stronger) fit on r4 transmission?
That's all 4 now:wink:
See ya...

Any of the 3 stud Renault 5 wheels should fit the Renault 4. It's possible that 3 stud wheels from other Renaults will fit too.

The MK 1 (pre-1983 ish) Renault 5 engines will fit the Renault 4 gearbox. The automatic engines need a different brass bearing in the end of the crankshaft, but I think the others fit straight in. If your engine is good but you want more power try fitting the carburettor and inlet manifold from a Mk 1 Renault 5 1108cc. 10 more bhp.

I don't know whether the Renault 5 brakes will fit.

I had been told that wheels from all 80s and 90s 3-stud Peugeots and Citroens have the same hole BCD as the R4 and therefore can be fitted,can anyone confirm it?

Renault 12/Virage wheels should fit- in fact were supplied in some markets
