View Full Version : 1.0l Tuning
Hiya, im a big girly newbie and need some advice tuning my 1.0l Nova.
Its currently running around 20 brake and wont keep up with my grandma's electric wheelchair (when its fully charged) the engine has 44k and is ideal to play with. So any suggestions?

maybe your right, i find that throwing heavy objects at the car always gets to run better.
I suggest something like this

contact matsui, and ask them if they will email you a copy of the software that they use in there microwaves, transfer that into your ECU which should add another 5-10BHP :D
Imagine the Lag on that bad Boy running with a 1.0 PMSL
You'd Hit 6k and the engine Would just implode from the force lol.
Pmsl... Might Chip it :wink: Pmsl... ha ha ha...
Ohhh I need a camera.

i dont think the 1l would even creat enough exhaust gases to turn at all. But yeah when an if it did pick up speed i would expect to see engine parts going everywhere lmao
pmsl :lol:
but on a serious note i seem to remember some idiot who did tune a 1.0 to some stupid power lol turbo'd aswell

the silly powered 1.0 was actually built from a 1200 block which was sleeved down to reduce the capacity to 1.0
the 1.0 ohv engine is a piece of shite, 3 bearing crank etc
if u want to tune anything stick a 1.2 in and tune that
insurance difference will be negligable

Weld a custom manifold and get a little T1 Turbo off a diesel or something, My mate done that to his 1.3 escort estate! Lol
i have a "low blow" turbo sitting here in me room doing nothing ;)
do it you know you want to
would it even be possible to do? turbo a 1.0 or even 1.2 lol i dont know enough about it but i have to say i would do some laughin at a 1.2 turbo. infact if i new how i would build one for a laugh
i want a 1.0 engine and then to N2o it till it dies lol.
would be V funny to see how "fast" the 1/4 time would be.
