chie Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) has anyone ever though about turboing a 1.0? yea yea i know whats the point as itll top out at like 115mph or something, but i was just thinking itll be fun for b roads and such, i know theres a fair few small displacement jap turboed stuff out there i suppose theres two trains of thought about this one itll be a bit of fun to do it fair enough itll not be silly fast or win any dyno shootouts, and i know theres a good few motor conversions you can do aswell for big power for the other view whats peoples thoughts on this? and has anyone done it?

one litre wonder ;) Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 you would need to uprate the internals so they didnt blow then convert it to be ran on a turbo . done right it could be brilliant cause motorbike engines are smaller displacement , lower the compression and allow it to rev harder . the down side would be the gearing on the AUC box is , lets be honest naff at best so you would need to re-gear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y4n Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 It is possible to fit a low boost kit into your 1.0L without uprating any internal engine components but don't expect a massive gain from it. My brother a few years back fitted a van aaken turbo kit (the kit was for a fiat cinq) to his Punto 1.2 60s with standard engine internals. I believe it was knocking around 100bhp, 10/10 for being different but in the end of the day, it would have been more cost effective to just buy a Punto GT.

chie Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 dont get me wrong i wasnt expecting to whack a t28 on it and expect 400bhp, i was thinking low boost (up to 6psi max?) , stock block, probably head gasket spacer, i wasnt even looking at 100bhp, just more then 50 lol 75 would do tbh did he run a remap and what sort of boost was he running do you know? no problems with detonation?would a 1.4 gearbox bolt on? taller ratios etc? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_1.0 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 the punto gt's are fun, bloosy hard to work on as theres a lot pushed into the bay, 4 of my mates have them and all changed things, trust me they do push some power but they are always going wrong. i think a 1.0 turbo would be cool just to be different but the power output and the money you would spend and then along with the time would not pay off imo.also on the insurance front i know its only a 1.0 but a turbo on it iam sure that will jack the cost up on top too.what about a 1.4 16v and then turbo that? or even just the standed engine, like said should be pushing about same power?

IanW Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 he doesnt need to worry about insurance costs. Lots of NCB and hes 25 in april. hahaha . Just stick with it richie, the japs run 1.0 turbo motors (fair enough most come with semi-forged internals) but they run higher boost. And since your doing most of the work yourself costs arent too bad imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcrook Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 i'd turbo a 1.4 16v instead, there pretty light!i'm sure if you looked into the reality of the total cost involved then it'd put you right off though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chie Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 cheers, mixed views there, but each to there own as they say, just thought it would be a change from the normal engine swaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunalupi Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 1.0 turbo would be a right laugh.Go for it, when it breaks, get a bigger engine and transfere the bits over.That was exactly my thought when the time comes to kill the 1.0 ready for a conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chie Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 thats what i wanted to hear lol its gotta go bang sometime dont fancy the ass on of fitting a tdi thowas i mistaken when someone told me a mk2 gti golf motor would fit? i know vr6`s have been done so there surely must be the space in the bay?

Tigz™ Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Aye, dont see why it couldnt be fitted.But its an old motor, aint that powerful and not that cheap.theres better engines out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chie Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 ok cool just thinking of options id love a vr6 but bet there a fool to get ahold of and lots of cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Not reallyThere was a VR lump and gearbox for sale at e38 this year for about £500.Great sound, just too heavy and not enough power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 if you're not bothered about blowing the engine, get a compressor, run it at a low speed, plug it into a cigarette lighter thing and then put the pipe directly on the throttle body. plonk the thing on the passenger seat and when you want boost, just flick it. I really want a car to do this with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Loop Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 i people that rally with old 0.9 diahatsu (not sure on spelling) turbos, great for sprinting and round corners, so much responseboth of these max out at 65 but they pull like mad!crazy guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanW Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 107? does the gearing even allow that? I've been in chie's a number of times and i don't think it would get to 107 . Or it would take about 20 minutes, down a hill, with the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
