you can turbocharge it for a couple of hundred quid if you go diy and old skool (2 head gaskets, copper spacer etc thats what we done on the 1.4 saxo turbo we built) but you still wont be able to run high enough boost to get decent power, 130bhp if your lucky!
.9 over book lol
it rattles and bangs and knocks and clunks and clicks, need to stop being as rough as a badgers arse with it, was fine when i got it lol
in theory they are great, a supercharger that doesnt use engine power to run or need majour modification to fit
BUT.. they just dont generate any preassure!
nice guide mate, sound good yeah?
how would a set of 6.5" sound amped without a sub as i dont really want to add the weight of a sub but the standard speakers sound w**k! lol
you can use a standard 1.2 16v turbo engine or convert a d4f to turbo but its only 100bhp hardly a decent conversion, and its not really tunable without massive work!
unless its been on an engine dyno then its not a proven 76bhp but assuming the same RR, same conditions etc then id say you;ll gain 5-7bhp if that.
mine was RR'd at 82bhp but it was never RR'd before mods so theres no way to tell if i got a genuine 7bhp or not!
unfortunatly the 1.2 16v doesnt share any parts with the bigger engines so you cant really mix and match parts like you can do with some engines especially the older vauxhall engines.
my mate had an n/a 1300 16v starlet SR and we fitted an inlet manifold from a corolla and advanced the...
i was a rocket in my old 1.2 16v, everynight was bonfire night in that thing lol
fairly sensible with the 172, the odd blast now n then when its dry or when out with the lads! or when ive got a passat or some other shitty diesel sitting up my arse lol
congrats mate glad to hear its sorted!! now get it back to renault and demand your other 2bhp!!! lol
everyone fancy another RR day now that were all gonna be running different exhausts? lol
yes but it was an engine built to run a turbo reliably, the compression ratio was designed for running boost, the gearbox and clutch were built to withstand the torque from the turbo, the pistons, rods, crank etc was all designed to run reliably at that power.
the 1.2 16v engine was designed...
