| Post subject: | Turbo time |
ok after successfully modding the exhaust and giving it better induction i was wondering has anyone tried turboin (if thats a word) the 1.6 si, now i know your going to say its cheaper to do a 2l, but too be honest ive spent a fair bob or too on sports cats and so on, so there is a couple of roots im going to as you guys, has anyone had the 1.6 bored out to a bigger spec ? and has anybody had a turbo fitted to it if so what turbo and what was the final bhp.Thanks in advance Ash |

have a word with jonosi as i believe his is a 1.6 zetec and turbo'ed as for boring out you may as well go for the 1.8 as its suppost to be a stronger engine but then again it all depends on what you want |

anyone know what would be needed to make the 1.6 a turbo, and why would the cat not be needed because of the down pipe ? |

still had no look finding the parts that would be able to turbo the 1.6, so im thinking of dropping a rs1800 and getting that turbo'd, heard there pretty decent engines with a turbo kit. |

forget turbo'in the 1.8 as its too high an insurance group at the min, think maybe ill enjoy the 1.6 till i get 2 years ncb and hit 19 in a few months, then maybe put 2l |

Just a thought. You can turbo a 1.8 using a decomp plate and the internal will be fine. A 2.0 will need forged pistons. Really you only need the 2.0 if you plan monster power. |

as far as i know the decomp plate will work for little boost ...as the inturnals are standerd and u can use a decomp plate on a 2l |

A 2.0 on a decomp plate can run very little boost, 1.8's on decomps and standard internals have made 300bhp |
