can u put a turbo on a 1.4rt.is there any way it could be possible and how much.would it make much difference
what exactly would be needed to do it.plus would it actually make that much difference on a 1.4.
Iv got a 1.2, was thinking of messing round with putting a turbo on it. Thing is it is one hell of a lot of money, where as you might as well sell the car and get a bigger engined car to turbo, then you would be looking at a better investment of the cash. For now i am going to get some nitrous to play with, it costs a lot less and some kits can be moved from car to car pretty easily, which is ideal.
the gtt engines only a 1.4 anyhow! isnt it? am i just stupid?
They are 1.4s but they are designed to run with a turbo unit and have been changed in various ways to cope with this, as Nick said best bet would be the GTT conversion to get your turbo thrills!!
Try asking lowe on the RSC forum, hes got a GTT lump in an 5 door...
Not worth the hassle for a 1.4, cos the 1.4turbo lumps ready to go from a GTT - like everybodys said its not worth the hassle.
You can ask Lowe, but his conversion isnt the best I have seen, any questions give me a shout mate as mine is away being converted at the moment!
Just suggested that cos its the only one i know of!! never spoke to the guy myself!
how does the GTT conversion compare to the valvers performance??
Lol sorry mate!! Just wasnt impressed with where the battery and stuff were located on lowes, seemed a bit dangerous.
It will be loads quicker than the standard 16v, even on the standard turbo, but I am having various things uprated to help with the power and cooling.
bugger, have tp get the valver turbod then...
Already asked Ktec, 3 weeks and about 3 grand, you could buy a car for that...!!!!
I have had a little look around for renault 5 gt turbo engines, but cant find any. Just looking at prices and info at the moment. anyone know any good places to look?, was looking at "find a part" someone told me they were a bit expensive though. I might just buy a gt turbo as a little run around for a while.
