Just picked up my midtec spyder.

My book lists 7 variants of the J7R, 2 of which are 12v. Do you have any more info, like what throttle body and which injection?
I believe it is from Renault 21 savanna.
There may be a plate riveted to the block near the flywheel end under the exhaust manifold with the info you need??
Your choices are
J7R A7-50 - 69KW
J7R A7-51 - 90KW
J7R 7-52 -131KW (TURNIP)
J7R 7-56 - 131KW (TURNIP)
J7R 7-46
J7R 7-47
All run injection, either Renix, Siemens, Multipoint MPI, or Bendix
If you have the engine age or injection details, I could probably isolate it.
2.0 L (1995 cc) petrol SOHC 8-valve I4 MPI; 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp); top speed: 200 km/h (124 mph); 0–100 km/h: 9.7 s (Available in RX, TX, GTX and TXE
models)
2.0 L (1995 cc) petrol SOHC 12-valve I4; 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp); top speed: 203 km/h (126 mph) ; 0–100 km/h: 9.8 s (available in the TXi and TXi
Quadra models)
2.0 L (1995 cc) petrol SOHC 8-valve I4 MPI turbo; 175 PS (129 kW; 173 hp); top speed: 227 km/h (141 mph); 0–100 km/h: 7.2 s (available in Turbo and
Turbo Quadra models).
2.0 L (1995 cc) petrol SOHC 8-valve I4 MPI turbo; 162 PS (119 kW; 160 hp); top speed: 217 km/h (135 mph); 0–100 km/h: 8.6 s
these are the ones I found.
The engine now has a DARA carb on. running with an Emerald M3D management system
its deffo an 8v .

Ive got one sitting in my garage. The engine plate will tell you, but it looks to me like an 8V renault J7T engine. Either 2L or 2.2.
Photos of me replacing it are here;

Its the 2.0 8V then
so must be the J6R or J7R, as the J7T was a 2165cc.
I will have a look for a plate tomorrow.
Also I try and find out what transaxle it has. Think it will be the NG3.
Out of curiosity, are there many engines that are a straight bolt on job to replace this one?
I assume the turbo version is the same block 
(173 bhp)

Thanks for the info. I am struggling to find out anything about the engine.
I assume that it came fuel injection, as it came from a Savanna, and I don't think they ever came with the lower power carb version.
The car was build as a hill climber originally, and had a hot cam and a set of chopped webers on an injection fuel rail, running with emerald ecu. It
was producing 149bhp.
It was now been detuned for road use with a Weber 28 x 32 Dara dual barrel down draught, running the same ignition for sparks.
Are there many other engines that would bolt direct to the gearbox?
