General cinq/sei turbo FAQ
Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
I had a 1986 Y10 Turbo from new and made some serious mods to the engine. Replaced the standard IHI turbo with one from a crashed Uno and upped boost to 24psi, lowered compression, wilder cam, flowed head, bigger carb jets, uprated fuel pump, and most importantly water/methanol (75%/25%) injection to make sure the engine/turbo survived further than the end of the street
Never made a full pressure dyno run but at 20psi saw 167bhp at the wheels, the dyno operator had seen a standard Cossie give virtually the same figures a couple of days earlier .
It ran a 14.1s 1/4 mile in 1989 at a Santa Pod run-what-ya-brung, so I reckon a Cinq should be able to match it I ran the Y10 for 35k miles with the engine in that state of tune, although I had a dash mounted boost adjustment which was kept on 0.8bar max for most of the time, I only turned it up when overtaking or having fun and never in the wet as it didn't handle quite like a Cinq

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
I have had to replace the turbo in my Cinq and I found that the turbo in my car is a Garrett GT15 code 454092-1 which is found on 92-98 Astra 1.7LD low boost 68bhp and Vectra 95-97 with same engine code X17DTL the turbo's full name is GT1544H 454092-0001E OEM code is 90499271.
It has been found that other Cinqs turbos have a Garrett GT15 which is more commonly found on a VW's between 94-99 1.9TDi 90bhp, I got the code 454083-1/2 from VAD (thanks to Alex22 for that) which does indeed match up to Golf MK2 TDI 94-98 engine code 1Z/AHU, Passat TDi 90bhp 95-98 engine code 1Z, Vento TDi 90bhp 94-98 engine code 1Z/AHU/ALE, Sharan TDi 90bhp 95-98 1Z/AUH full turbo code is garrett GT1544S 454083-0001/2E OEM code 028145702E.

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
IIRC the standard cinq fuel pressure is about 1 bar.i havent seen mention of any change to the fuel pump on the novitec

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
The pump could deliver 2 bar max they say, but if they do.
For a 101HP setup it's enough.
I'm running at 3 bar Fuel pressure with a 148L/H @5bar Bosch Fuelpump.
The reason for a higher pressure is that if you turn up the boost pressure the fuel pressure drops.
1 bar Fuel pressure and 0.5bar boost = 0.5 bar Fuelpressure at full turbopressure.

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
Hi i want to buy a low boost turbo kit to get 90HP from my punto mK1 1l2 8v spi .Can you give me some online store?
Novitec is much expensive and van aaken stopped this buisness.
What do you think about vincimotorsport kit(oil hoses without cooler + manifold +wastergate +turbo=1450€ or 991,777 GBP)? http://www.vincimotorsport.it/kit1100.htm
thanks for replying

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
no ones used one but there was a post on it.
the filter where it is would draw a lot of hot air but could be relocated
the plastic TB cover was a bit concerning for holding boost pressure
it doesnt show how it supplys extra fuel nor what (if any) fuel controller is used so if not supplied add minimum £200 for a fuel controller + RR time.
though as i say no ones fitted one to confirm.you could get a manifold,sump and TB caseing made up yourself. then make oyur own turbo kit with off the shelf parts.
though remember to key in insurance costs,brake upgrades etc

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
it's just 1242cc punto engine (like in my cinq!.. execept my turbo is on the shelf in my garage )

Re: cinq turbo faq?
A good freind of mine owns a little cinqy with a vanakeen turbo conversion on a punto 1.2 engine and the cost to date is 2700 quid but he recantly had the car dynod at 162bhp and 140lb/sf of torque and trust me when i say its one of the fastest cars ive been in, from 60 onwards its unreal how fast it goes
the turbo is definatly the right way to go for performance.

Re: cinq turbo faq?
whats been done on top of that?
162bhp on a 1.2?thats not VAD figures.fordcosworth said:

Re: cinq turbo faq?
over 100bhp increase with cost to date of £2700 oh and a 60bhp increase over even the high boost vad setups (which cost more than £2700 iirc off hand)

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
Didn't see this before but I run a Walbro pump, direct replacement for the original Fiat fitments Walbro, tho mine is normally found in a Escort RS2000, Mondeo 2L 16V 2.9 V6 Sierra 4x4 tc as found on here www.fuelsytem.co.uk as I found there are major issues with the fuel pressure on standard pump. I have it regulated to 3bar on 2nd injector with a SARD rising rate fuel pressure regulator and then run it to teh primary injector and run that at 1.4 bar by means of adjusting the regulator as found on that.
I would recommend that anyone with a VAD turbo that they do not at any costs run more than 0.6bar that VAD set them at as this is right on the cusp of them running lean with the MF2 running full 80% duty cycle on 2nd injector. the 2nd injectors are meant to run 3 bar as they are normally either light or dark green injectors found on Cosworths. So if you have one of those bleed valves on there that I've seen most VAD set ups seem to have do not at any costs turn up the boost, you will melt the pistons, better removing it.

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
I intend to turbo my 1.2 punto.
Read a lot and now am (probably) going to make a fool of myself my asking stupid questions
Firstly, yes I know about gts, where's the fun in that? I want to track down build break repair have fun get annoyed building my own!
It will be a low compression engine, so first dang fool ? is this usable?

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
I think a T3 would be too large - a T15 would fit much more easily - there should be ample room in a Punto. Plus, Metro Turbos are getting rarer, so parts availabilty may be an issue in the future. The T15, IIRC, were fitted to some VAGs and the Astra 1700cc TD.

Thank you
In short buy a t15 turbo....
I'm looking for a t15, any other sources for this?
Thanks in anticipation

vauxhall turbo diesel engines, around 1.7
vw turbo disels engines around 1.9.

Re: THE cinq turbo faq.
I would try a GT-15 from Garrett, GT's are Ball bearing turbo's and give less backpressure at the exhaust manifold.
And if you want to use another turbo first try to get the flow rates.
for a 1.2 with about 120BHP you can use a turbo that delivers about 6 cubic liter/min (don't know the value in lbs.)
Last week I won a Gt15 on ebay for 35.50 euro I'm only waiting for the postman. And I even don't need it
