1.2 turbo

[newboytothenova2]

hi all wanting to do some thing diffrent instead of the 2l converstion

is it best to use a 1.2 8v or a newer corsa engine 1.2 16v

how would i plum oil n water feeds in any information on this would be good thnks

the 16V head would be better for the turbo application, but it will be cheaper and easier to use an 8V setup with a 1.6 turbo manifol (there are a few about)

there is a guy on mig selling a turbo kit for the 1.6 8v from brazil. its expensive but hey

you will also need a mappable engine management uni to do it properly etc. making the oil feeds is straight forward once you know where they go, eg the return is a mod to the sump above max oil level and so on

it wont be cheap and i wouldnt envisage it having much mroe than 150bhp

[m.d.]

use the 1.6 head on a 1.2 for low compression
