£5000?

i think you are wrong,, i think its a gap in the market thats been overlooked.
put it this way if more power had to be had from that particular car id rather spend it turboing that than say a 172 conversion.
ITB'd MK1
got to say I agree totally. modification for me isn't just dropping a bigger standard engine in. Got to love doing what you can with what you have

How the f**k will it be "bodged", Im guessing insurance on the 1.4 would still be cheaper,

Are you both taking assumptions on the insurance or have you done it?
i think you have had too many shrooms mate
im 99.9% sure an insurance company would be alot happier insuring something that a main manufacturer has tested rather than something that a bloke in in garage has 'made'

They would be happier, yeah, but im not sure if it would affect the price THAT much, also cheaper tax and more of a sleeper..
Personally think this would be a waste of time too but its each to their own.
A turbo'd 1.4 would have to find 80 odd bhp just to match the levels of a stock 172 engine.
To take it well over 172 performance level would require some serious wedge.
Far better VFM and probably a lot quicker buying bargain priced 172, stripping it to a bare skin and lumping some decent suspension on

Renault 5 Gt Turbo
already done a Energy 8v Turbo, pretty good engine, it reach 180hp

Youd probably get 100hp depending on how much boost your running.
The k-tec kit is about 6k, Then add new brake setup, suspension.
LY 182
you wouldnt need new brakes or suspension
1.4 16v runs the same brakes as a williams on the front (which is 150 bhp) and drums on the rear which produce more effort than the discs on said williams, so they are fine
no need for suspension we are after power at the moment
mines 180bhp on 1.216v suspension and brake dimensions and no problems

im assuming you mean a 100bhp gain and not actually 100bhp?!
no need for new brakes and suspension unless you want to. you could turbo it for cheap, there was a K4M turbo cutting about in europe somewhere running a tad over 200bhp from memory

Put a 1.4 C1J engine in, 200bhp easily for under 1k!
your saying you are getting 180bhp from a 1.2 engine?? how???
He has a 172 engine in what started as a 1.2 clio i believe?

wrong
well,, depends how much you like the car/have the modifying bug
i so so badly wish i hadn't of sold my old 1.216v engine i'd have loved to see what i could get out of it
ITB'd MK1
should be able to get one for about £50. I'm quite up for this too, though I'd probably start with the turbo'd version from a mk3/twingo

A lad on the Nova forums a while back got about 110bhp from a 1.2 8v, lol. Idled at 3k mind!
I believe its supercharged mate. 165bhp, awsome project.
