Has anyone done a X18XE/XE1 Turbo??

So does the exhaust manifold from the x16xe fit the x18xe1?

bollocks...
4mm is a MASSIVE drop in CR for these engines.
10:1 compression ratio shouldn't be feared for a turbo engine, intact it should be embraced!!! Although using a proper nasty way of fuelling will require the 4mm plate lol

What's b0llocks? I agree it shouldn't be feared but for a 1.6 with weak internals not designed for boost, I wanted to drop it enough not to cause to much hassle and be reliable.

P.s your attitude stinks lol

You saying that running OEM compression (which will be circa 10:1) would be too much.... yes with pikey fuelling/ign control it would be, but with some common sense applied and some thinking it would be fine.

the ports/branches line up. But studs will be out.

I didn't say it would be to much, but its risking it on standard internals which if its a budget build will most likely be.
Same with the fueling I was running standard management hence the spacer and adjustable fuel reg as send before it was a budget build and the budget wouldn't stretch to management at the time.

Who is the guy that does the z18xe turbo conversions, and hoe do I contact him?

Wg motorworks, search facebook.
