the standard one was to the right of the engine bay halfway down behind the radiator, now ive got a front mounted one
anymore questions you'll have to u2u me, gotta pick my sister up l8rz

Where bouts have you mounted the intercooler

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.

everything else like shafts n hubs, just ordered them and fitted them like normal

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.

they aren't that bad, little heavier yes, but i corner mine ace, you just have to feed the power in gradually round corners with a turbo engine

wat sorta work was involved in doing yours mate

ok C20LET it is then lolol

:lol:

no but a heavy lump like that in the front wont do it any favours there will be no weight in the arse

have you driven one?

but even still the LET is a fcukin heavy engine if i went out onto the twistys in that it wouldnt handle too great

god help us !

the fiat engines were made to take the turbo performance, carnossiuercraig had problems and a fucked turbo to go with it. hes had it up for sale, wonder why, people sell cars for a reason and its not usually told to the buyer.

however if you turbocharge your engine your guaranteed some problems, i think you'd be posting in several months time complaining that your pistons have melted or something :lol:

stick a let in and all the money you would have spent on fixing the 1.4 when the turbo kills it can go towards the cost of a let :thumbs:

such as

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

yeh but still a Turbo would be pretty mint seriously considering it like

if it aint a turbo when it leaves the factory, then it shouldnt have a turbo

believe me, it will be more hassle than its worth

Whats the ratio for times this question is asked to times it is done? :lol:

craig didnt turbo his 1.4 he bought a 1.4 engine already turbo'd mate.his cars running 135 bhp mate.not really worth all the hassle for that tbh

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
