1.6 turbo/supercharger - Daveg306 - 25-09-2013
Hi guys does any one know if u can turbo or supercharge the 1.6 8v and if so where can I get the kit from many thanks
RE: 1.6 turbo/supercharger - Niall - 25-09-2013
My advice would be to fit a 16v 1.6 TU engine then turbo it. They are bullet proof engines and good for over 300bhp on stock internals. On a 306 it will be easy as the exhaust manifold is at the front and there is plenty of room in the bay!
RE: 1.6 turbo/supercharger - Daveg306 - 25-09-2013
Would it be possible to put a 16v head on my 8v and then turbo it ?

You'd be better off doing a full swap iirc the pistons are different
RE: 1.6 turbo/supercharger - John1.4 - 26-09-2013
not only the pistons, but to fit the 16v timing belt you'd need to fit the extra idler pulley, but there isn't anywhere for it on the 8v block
do both imo, supercharger in front, turbo over the gearbox...

you can turbo anything
RE: 1.6 turbo/supercharger - puglove - 26-09-2013
as said above you'd be better off using the 16V iirc there are "kits" for it. but there is nothing for the 8v it would have to be a complete home bru

DP engineering do turbo kits for the 1.6 16v for about 1850 euro

The VTS/GTI engine can take huge amounts of boost, there's loads around on 300bhp+ on standard internals like the eater of crayons says but 200bhp shouldn't be right expensive I wouldn't have thought...
