Isn't 5psi less than you produce when you fart though? | |

If I was building a 16XE Turbo, I wouldn't even consider it without decent pistons and management. | |

also it will turn corners easier than a let | |

i have always like the idea of having the 1.6 turbo as they are rare. I am very aware of the let and the xe but everyone seems to do them, plus i wouldnt want to do another conversion for a while, as the x16xe was a converson from the x14xe. | |

As a project and to be different then the turbo idea is quite a good one, IMO of course. You would learn quite a bit about building engines and have a good feeling of achievement when its all done (supposing it works) | |

I would have a word with the chap on here who was selling an X16xe turbo engine on here a little while ago. As they were using courtney parts with a spacer plate in the headgasket to lower the compression meaning it was running standard internals iirc | |

After thinking about the spec i am aiming for and how much it would cost to get to the finished spec with 150bhp and i believe low on torque, i thought about looking at turbos for a bit of fun. |
