lmao :lol:

i even clicked on it which made it worse !!

 

i dont know anything about cars but i heard that its pointless putting a turbo on a 1.2

 

I was always under that impression. I'd rather save up for a 1.8... then turbo that.

 

nah it aint pointless m8. take in 2 consideration that a 1.2 weighs absoloutly nothing and i work at a tuning company so i no wot ime doing. i rekon i can pull 145bhp owt of it by throwing in extra fuel with a mappable injector driver and lower the compression of the engine and a few other tricks of the trade. we had a suzuki swift 1.3 in not long ago which we charger and it wud of easily beat a standard subaru from 30 upwards all down to the weight of it. just had traction issues from a standard start

 

why not just spend the little bit extra and get a 1.8, while it might not be pointless, there is only so much power u'll get out of a 1.2

 

DP motorsport is in warrington, thought it was the only 1 :\

 

engine transplant with a chip would be miles easier faster n cheaper

 

also do any of you no if a 1.4 engine fits straight in 2 the 1.2 engine bay? if not wot needs to added to make it work?

 

yer i do live in warrington m8, lol, i pu south west by accident wen signing up i think

 

o rite kwl were bouts, me lives in warrington too :yippe:

 

i live in woolston m8 wot about u? do u no if the 1.4 engine goes staright in?

 

i liv in sankey, not far from DP, ures a blac C with SRI rims n tints?

 

i have a 1.3 ...... but my engine was designed for a turbo.

good luck with it mate, will be alot faster.

trouble is the corsa is heavy as it is, very heavy. would at least get a 1.4 in it imo.

 

a 1.8 fits in pretty easy, need one new mount

 

wot about the wiring loom do you no if that needs to be changed? also this mount duz it replace an old mount or the mount have to be welded in?

 

yer thats my car i tek it uve seen it owtside then?

 

ye use see it everyday wen i was workin on the buildin site near the tip, moved now tho, nice lookin C, wanna swap ure rims

 

The 1.4 is the same engine block as the 1.2, just bigger bore on each cilinder.

Also i hope that you arent using stock internals if your hoping on turbo'ing it.

Also, some better brakes would be advised, and a suspension setup.

Have you thought about cams, lighter flywheel, lighter driveshafts, how about exhaust system, and remap.

Dont think so mate

 

yes i no all this m8 remember where i work, lol. everything will b done. so duz this meen that the 1.4 goes straight in same loom etc? as for the wheels ime getin them sprayed in gun metal grey m8. wot wheels u got?

 

got sum black 17 inch 100+ tornadoes, always wanted sum sri rims tho to spray black

 

ime gettin em gunmetal grey not in 2 the black on black corsa's tbh. i cant decide wether 2 mod it a little bit more or leave it as it is wot u think?

 

i think u shud do the rims black, n sum black angel lights, giv it the proper stealth look, then wen its turbo'd it will b ace

 

for the pircie it will cost.

i would drop a zlet in it

 

for the pircie it will cost.

i would drop a zlet in it

Agreed

 

yer i c where u cumin from that will prbly b the buts with a quik engine inside. i need to find owt if the 1.4 engine will drop straight in my 1.2 tho. If so then i will buy a 1.4 engine then build the turboes engine ouside the car then on a weekend shove it in so i do not have to take my car off the road wot u rekon? do u no n e 1 that noes if this engine drops str8 in wiv no chaning of the loom etc?

 

i aint a clue with engines but seen as the 1.2 is physically the same size as a 1.4, it shud go straight in

 

yer it will drop str8 in i no that just need to no if i need change the loom or n e fing m8. how much duz it cost get wheels respryed?

 

depends were u go, my mate mite do it for you abit cheaper, i'll could see if hes interested?

 

yer that wud b brilliant m8 if you could find owt for me? wen you get a price pm me and i will get bck 2 you. is there much difference in acceleration between ur 1.4 and a 1.2?

 

not much point in making a 1.4 if they're the same

 

i sed is there much difference? as in noticable when driving. ive heard that there aint much difference in acceleration between the 2

 

check on parkers........... technical data...
a z12xe is 12s 0 - 60, z12xep is 11.8


z14xe is around 10 and the z14xep is a lil faster.........

so yeah quite a bit... 2s is a lot.. lol in F1....... 0.200s is a lot!

 

:lol: at this thread, pointless really!

 

Y is it? he`s posting for advice so whats the point in you spammin the thread?




gud look with the engine mate its definatley be a challenge!

 

i can get you a tubular equal length manifold for about 250 delivered with pretty much any flange on it.

 

as said, wouldnt bother with the 1.2 turbo as the gearing is a bit ****e, unless you change the FD. Swap it for a 1.4 and turbo that instead.

a while ago i tried to find out what the dirrences are between the 1.2 and 1.4 (bore stroke etc and if they are same ecu)
