Your absolutely right, it the Renault R21 2.0i Turbo 86-95 Timing Belt. I had to order mine from across seas on ebay as no belt in the US that i could find matches it. 16v cam gears are further apart than the 20v so a smaller belt is difinitely needed. i used the 7a tensioner setup on mine tho so im not sure it it will be different with the 20v tensioner
