E16SE Turbo

[richmister]

Hi all,

I'm interested in making the conversion in my Nova, and was wondering/asking for a sort of quick guide to converting, i.e whats needed/recommended ect.

I'm only looking to do a low boost conversion for a bit of fun really, but if anyone would like to expand on what would also needed to give it a little bit more (low comp pistions ect.)

Wondered if anyone had any experience and would like to pass on a bit of knowledge :D It already has a chipped ECU, for extra fuel, would this be sufficent?

Cheers, I look forward to your replies/advice I have had a lot of experience with good old Vauxhall engines/conversions just never a turbo.

the e16se will need a sandwich plate to lower cr, and as for the ecu, the factory one is actually a circuit board with no 'chip' it will have had a couple of resistors in the ign controller changed to make it rev a bit more. there is a way using a pressure switch & even fitting an extra injector, but it is not the best way but courtenay used to do it, a remappable ecu conversion would be a better bet.

im doing this on my e16se,

heres what il be using

spi exhaust manifold with turbo flange welded to it
t2 or t25 turbo
oil return into sump
oil feed from block
spacer plate
oil filter relocation kit
rising rate fuel regulator
intercooler and pipework
boost trick switch
standard managment

hope this helps

one thing i have overlooked is the emission control valve, it works of vacuum so when you boost the engine its going to hate that , I'm thinking I'll need to remove it and blank of the FPR and EGR as they are all linked together then block of the holes on the inlet where all the little vacuum tube plugged in so boost is not lost.

i was told i need to blank the EGR... so this clears things up. cheers mate

Brilliant, thanks moffat for the info and the rest for the discussion, I have been reading through several articles on the forum about this conversion kit and it is very tempting to do

Cheers for the info, there may be a WIP thread if it goes ahead

Anyone managed to do it without relocating the Oil filter?

Looking to turbo a 1300 for hillclimbing/sprints and trackdays for next year, and we're on a tight budget. Would rather spend the ~£100 on something else rather than relocating the oil filter.

The obvious option would be having the turbo above the exhaust ports, however that's extra weight higher up, and wont help considering it's so far forward.
