The 1.4s are lighter than the vtr's as they are made from alloy and not cast iron, i can imagine the vts is a little more heavy than the vtr

Try the track times vs as your engines are first then go from there.

but if i set it up well i could have a healthy and safe 1.4 lightweight turbo around 160 bhp ?

ok so i have now swaped out the 1.4 for a nice health 1.6 8v :y: and befor you all say " should have 16v " i got the emgine for free aswell as it being a lil comp between me and my cousin :D

its pretty standard apart from 306 xsi injectors ( or so i have been told but they are blue ? )
im also going to sell my supersprint mani to start saving for the boost :D

will get picsone day but you cant realy tell the dif in the engines lol

this it the 1.6 vtr engine i got for free :D




gave it a very good clean and striped and rebuild :D

i was very worried about the ecu as i didnt know if it was locked ect but after a whole day of swapping it out on my own for the 1st time i turned the key and it burst into life :D

then cleaned it and got it looking like this again :Y;


just to wake up and find this


i hate this wether :(
now starting to get ready for boost :D
comments welcome :Y: good or bad ;)

just a recap of whats done /to be done :y:

lowered 45mm :y:
266 mm breakes :y:
gay leather seats out buckets in :y:
stripped out :y:
new stereo / speakers / sub :y:
engine conversion 1.4 to 1.6 :y:

things to do ....
new bushes all round
stiffen the car all round .. strut braces ect
and then turbo :D

i have just bought my turbo mani ( adapted vtr mani )
it sits really straight so thats good
need some help before i continue

i want to reach a nice 150bhp. i dont want nothng special i just want a nice daily driver to do me for around 6 months so i can save to progress :y:

will i be ok to run the turbo on a compleatly standared engine for around 6 months ?
i mean withought thick gasket/ 5th injector / on standered ecu ?
thanks guys please comment :y:

id of thought absolute minimum would be 5th injector so its fueling right for that length of time

I have bigger injectors?

I wouldnt risk it to be honest youll either be underfueling (most likely i think) or overfueling both end in bye bye to your engine although in different ways,

Iv got a few links to some info on turboing as i want to do this to my VTR 106 soon - I have no experience to do with Turboing cars so some things may not be completely accurate...

but heres some links iv read though:

Hope this helps ya

been a while since i have done an update ( no monies :( ) but heres whats happend so far....

i bought a dastek unichip q that has been maped to a vtr same year with breathing mods and exaust ( similar to mine )


it pulls alot better :y: feels nice and conservitive untill 4k revs then pulls like a train :)



i also have the wireing diagram ( drawings ) if needed by anyone :Y:
as i know these are insanely hard to get hold of

i then began to take a few bits off to save wieght
i did just take the back seats and spare wheel off to start with then got carried away




glad i did as i found this :(



so thats now being treated :y:

didnt have the heart to get rid of the sub so is now strapped in in a centeral position and ads a nice bit of wieght to the back :Y:

FROM THIS ..
