had to move rad forward,low anto roll bar,mount the intercooler,oil cooler etc,wiring was a bitch but made sense of it in the end, had one problem at the end of it all, ecu wasnt reading revs in 1st gear so engine management light was always on, got that sorted now. | |

right the cornering problem with 2litre corsas is way exagerated, people read a post on a forum (from someone who doesnt know anything) and they repeat it on several other forums, its as if people are getting brainwashed. | |

Yeh but those engines were designed to be turbo'd... You're engine, the 1.4 was ment to be N/A, when u try turbo an N/A it it causes lots of probs... | |

im only 18 remember so a turbo with a bit of lag is better than no turbo if there so crap why do fiat make 1.4 t puntos n that, not being sarchastic just genuinely asking | |

why would it you going to have seruiuos turbo lag in a 1.4 you may as well use tb's or buy a LET, or go one step better and supercharging it | |

turbo would not be cost effective for £perBHP. reliabilty is also an issue. Look at inlet manifolds or throttle bodies really. A turbo conversion would involve lowering the compression, getting a custom manifold made up, strengthening, etc etc | |

carnoisseurcraig has turboed his 1.4. u2u him and ask what was involved. Personally i wouldnt bother, if you want to keep the 1.4 get tb's and if you want a turbo fit a LET | |

i can get hold off quite a cheap 1.4 16v ecotec engine, was thinkin bout turboing it as i also have the chance of a T2 Garret turbo has anyone done this conversion ? how much work is involved bearing in mind the engine would be fully rebuilt anyway |
