Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

Let's stick to the actual question people.

I raised the initial question to see if it would be more feasable to upgrade my engine or get a new car.

If you feel the need for a turbo, then get a new car. Electric windows are standard across the range but aircon is an option on the pulse, so get an 84bhp pulse or get one of these!!!

Or do what we did and supercharge the 61/71 versions

125bhp and great fun

You can then keep your car but have way more torque and power

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

What I'm doing. I don't care if it's not quite the same power/torque as the turbos can technically produce. The delivery and the NOISE is what I want Ian

What levels of torque did you get from that btw?

Would be interested to see a conversion on a car mate.

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

Torque from memory was approx 170Nm

What's the installed price?

TTS do a 125bhp kit for the Aygo which is also a one litre engine, so sounds really good. It basically doubles the power and drops the 0-60 time from 14 secs to just 8! Want want want!

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

what about thooper charging the 1.1 forfour? or making it sound like its got a thoopercharger?

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

Anything is pothible fella! I guess 130bhp would be about right.

Re: Engine Swap... N/A to Turbo

to be honest dont care much about thooper charging it, just making it sound like its thooper charged is good enough for me!

I've seen one on the road, it's just amazing how loud it is! I've been in a monaro vxr before too, that thing bloody flew. I can only imagine what that one goes like!

What's the point though when any hot Renault hatch can and will p!ss all over it at a fraction of the cost. And not just in a straight line - some bends and the Aygo driver wouldn't even know where the Renault had gone...

Keep on whining for one Lalli, you won't need one!!!.... Seriously, superchargers are the technology of yesteryear. The equivalent of an iron lung.
