just wandering would it be worth boltin a turbo kit ona 1.2 sxi i have. just want to no if it would be easy and would the results be noticable ???
Any help or info please!!!
thanks
thanks ne way. jus wanted peoples opinion. just it gonna be a first car and i wanted a little ace up my sleeve 2 piss all over my mates puntos n polos. always sayin vauxs r crap, except i never had a problem.
Yes it may be ideal, but it just won't be fast I'm afraid. Any modifications like exhaust, induction kit etc... won't gain you any real horsepower. Nitrous would be good for the occasional race (and realistic at £600)
If you want speed, a Corsa GSi would have been ideal...
to be perfectly honest i cant see a problem with doing silly things to smaller engines.
I mean in order to compete with the "big boys" of the LET world you'd need to spend in the realm of £5K + to get X bhp per litre... where as for the 1200 you could spend alot less and get simlar power per litre.
I will be investigating a 1200 8V turbo engine for the end of the year. id recon atleast 180 bhp is possible and maybe upto 200with a dash of nitrous to get things spooled up faster lol

when i take the z12xe out of my corsa, we'll see how much power you can get out of it. i reckon bored out to 1300 with a small turbo and nitrous you could reach 200hp, engine wont cope with that for very long though
regal do i turbo kit for the z12xe engine. thats if you trust them and dont mind parting with 3650 quid. but personally i would wait atleast till you get a NCB and then get a more powerfull car.
Whattttttttt £3650, i would rather spend a couple of grand and drop an let in there and spend the rest on isurance. Or build a very healthy xe and drop that in.
No one is saying it wont work,were saying it would be a waste of time/money.
