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.

[DJVTR]

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

[DJVTR]

ok so i have now swaped out the 1.4 for a nice health 1.6 8v 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

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

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

[DJVTR]

this it the 1.6 vtr engine i got for free




gave it a very good clean and striped and rebuild

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

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
comments welcome :Y: good or bad

just a recap of whats done /to be done

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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 ..


TO THIS ...


than added the comfey clean seats




i also bouught this


sits realy straight and was only £50

then gave the car a needed clean lol



thats all for now

all comments welcome good or bad

[DJVTR]

i have also just started corbon wrapping bits so if anyone needs anything done pm me

[DJVTR]
