I used to own a x reg 1.4s 8valve i sold it bought a vts and done most mods to the engine reaching over 180bhp @ the fly! not bad!!
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Hot poker in my bum thats alot! Care to expand.
Anyway thats dead!!
THe bloke who bought my car off me is selling it back to me!!
I want to turbo it...
Turboing the e7j is erm, complicated.
Now being only 81bhp what sort of increase would i be looking at?!
Again, depends what you do, boost pressures, head flow, charge temps, chamber mods, compression blah blah.
Ive been told by them 120-130@ the fly! THats with a t25 turbo intercooler etc...
More than possible, but id be more concerned with swapping from the SPI system and building your own mpi injection system.
Also would a 172 clutch go straight in?!
Nope
Any suggestions before i go ahead?!
If you want a turbo do the GTT swap. Contact Andy at GDI ( mailto:andy@greydevilindustries.com">andy@greydevilindustries.com ) and talk to him about it.
