Turbo + Turbo manifold
Intercooler
Boost Pipes
Piggyback or stand alone ECU
Dumpvalve / Blow off valve
Wastegate
Probably in the region of R15-20k I would assume. Not worthit.

Re: 1.4i turbo conversion.
Ja the 1.4i turbo will not be worth it buddy. Rather buy a motor that is turbo from the factory? Like the 1.8 20T?
Or just plant a ABF 16v motor in, got great power from standard.

+ mapping/dyno time

etc. Better to just buy a turbo car. I could've either turbo'd my Corsa or bought a turbo car. Glad I bought a turbo car.

Re: 1.4i turbo conversion.
Modding is a journey, and learning to turbocharge a 1.4i is a hell of a lot more fun and interesting than a 2L swap or selling to buy a turbo car.
Is it a good idea? No, definitely not. Especially not on a daily. But if you can afford it and afford for the car to stand every now and then it will be a ton of fun to figure out how everything works together.
I say go for it, start reading up on what is needed and collecting parts as well. You will need some custom piping on the downpipe but everything else can pretty much bolt on.

Re: 1.4i turbo conversion.
Yeah look, I'm not saying it wouldn't be awesome. It would be epic, but as a daily it won't make sense.THANAS wrote:Modding is a journey, and learning to turbocharge a 1.4i is a hell of a lot more fun and interesting than a 2L swap or selling to buy a turbo car.

If I could've bought the Audi and kept the Corsa to turbo it, I would've done it in a heartbeat. And definitely way more fun than a 2l swap.

Re: 1.4i turbo conversion.
I've had many n/a toys but my next project will also be turbocharging my Storm. I've got most of the stuff already - bought a complete turbo conversion off a Caddy. I am increasing the capacity though from 1.4 to 1.9 using a 1.8 crank and 2.0 pistons.
Current rides:
VW Golf - 83 GT 2.1 16V 2-door with throttles
VW Golf - 78 LS 2.0 8V 4-door (2.1 ABF with throttles in progress)
VW Golf - '08 Citi Storm - 1.4 for now
Hyundai - 1.4 Getz (daily)

Re: 1.4i turbo conversion.
It' an absolute pain in the behind to turbo charge u-flow motors in a citi shell. Space it a total pain.
Have done it a few times, will never again.

Re: 1.4i turbo conversion.
We are doing a booster delete and bringing the turbo out above the gearbox so space shouldn't be an issue.panic-mechanic wrote:It' an absolute pain in the behind to turbo charge u-flow motors in a citi shell. Space it a total pain.

Re: 1.4i turbo conversion.
Yeah thatbis about the only way. Putting the turbo under the intake manifold just does not work.
