Ramirez Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) This Arosa is owned by a guy named Matt and is being put together by himself and family!Unfortunately I dont know alot about the spec, other than its based on Superlupos old 16v sport engine that was RR'd iirc @ 116bhp before the turbo. But I'm sure "Superlupo" will be able to help with any questions. Its being put together in time for some shows this year.I *think* this will be the most powerful Arosa in the UK! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Picture sizes are small due to them being taken on a camera phone.

The subtle modder Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Nice to see it being done to an arosa for a change and somebody doing it themselves instead of a chequebook build is even more interesting to me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> so its a 1.4 16v arosa/lupo sport engine? used as a base and then tuned by superlupo to produce 116 and they have now added a turbo to this? is there any more pics of the car and conversion preferably bigger?thanksHey guys I aint been on here in ages, I've been goin on at my man since I had my arosa about doin a turbo conversion so I'd love to no how this one goes!!out of interest which 1.4 engine do you have the sport or the 8v?wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was lucky, like fyggy with her 140bhp standard GTi!But yes they bolted up the turbo to this.Sorry no more pictures yet, will sort a load out when I see it.If you want to turbo a 1.4 8v theres already an off the shelf kit avalible.

carter Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 hmmm this will be a treat, its great to see so many engines being tuned in differnt ways like tigz's throttle boddies and super lupos charger as apposed to engine conversions, there are going to be some very fast lupos/arosas about soon and i cant wait.

Gavs_arosa16v Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 There is an off the shelf kit for the 16v engine too, to get it up to 165bhp.Look under conversions > turbos > kitsThe only concern is reliability, how much extra power can the 1.4 bottom end and gear box take.

carter Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 putting the pd 150 in to mine has been a consideration for a long time, if i came across a cheap enough engine then it would probably happen, but with mortgages and stuff i find my self short of cash these days so i would have to do the conversion my self which mean you probably wouldn't see the car again till 2056 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it says Arosa '98> Their referring to the 8v.i was told not to bother with nos when i was thinking off it for my last car as it ends up costing alot of money to use the power at £50 for about 2 minutes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />Although you only get a couple of minutes, you can actually only use NO2 for a few seconds at a time other wise your engine would detonate, not really useful for day to day driving.and adam just out of interest how can you get more out of an 8v than 16v as the 16v runs 15bhp extra as standard? still very interested in this one please put up details style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />No idea, but would hazzard a guess that because the engines been around for so long and is simpler to work on than the 16v, gains are easier.Nice to think an 1.4 8v could wipe the floor with a GTi!
