1.6 16v turbo x16xe

[nova speed]

What is the best way to turbo a 1.6 16v. I was thinking Corsa vxr turbo but not sure what other parts are best for the conversion. Is it possible to use vxr pistons. I know I need to relocate the oil filter. I don't mind spending the money but don't want to spend silly money.

Have a look through Craig greens old build thread mate

Manifolds, calculate a suitable turbo map,IC, stand alone ECU with MAP sensor, oil cooler, full mapping session.
Job done

I'm more pikey decomp plate and rising rate fuel pressure regulator lol

That is why there are so few decent turbo conversions out there.

I will be doing mine in this manner to get it up and working, but might upgrade to stand alone management later.

There's a lad on corsa sport selling a conversion setup for the 16v motors, think has everything except standalone ecu + good value tbh
