power-per-pound to convert a 1.4 16v N/A Engine to Turbo would not be that great, plus you would have reliability issues if the job isn't done proper (like courtenays 'tripple gasket' trick), plus the N/A engine isn't really designed to run on forced induction. | |

The difference between the LET and the XE is that the let has low comp pistons. There is also a oil feed hole in the back of the let block for the oil supply to the turbo. | |

not sure about the internals mate but the manifolds and ecu shoulld be a straight swap | |

From a purely mechanical point of view turbo's have to be made from very high temperature steel and have a good oil pump to lubricate and cool. | |

what would be the best engine conversion to put in. I mean not necessarily for max bhp but taking into account weight and cost and also fuel oconsumption. I was thinking that possibly a 1.6?? | |

it would be cheaper to pu a 2l turbo in. | |

yeah if he fancys making a one of manifold, inlet and exhuast, needs a different cam, all new internals, then you need the turbo, custom made hoses, and then the trickiest bit, actually getting the car to work with the ecu. | |

I think what he means mate is there anyway that he can build a turbo himself for a lot lesser price. Im not sure if its possible like but someone might know?? | |

your looking at about almost as much as the car is worth, about 4-5 grand pretty much | |
