Technical How Big a Job To Turbo an 1108CC Motor?

[benjiman46]

Ive recently bought an old 1.1 cinq sporting engine and im going to completely strip it down and turn it into a monster. Any Ideas feel free to shout them out. I was wondering what Id have to do to turbo it. I want to use a second hand turbo but not sure which car to take it off. I was thinking along the lines of a Mk1 punto Gt's Turbo? I suppose I'd need low compression pistons or a couple of steel head gaskets to drop the compression slightly. Either that or absolutely rally slag it and get rally cams and rebuild all the bottom end. Im a mechanic thats new to fiats so you've probably got a better idea than me lol. Cheers everyone

a bit more work than reading the faq's in your own sig

In your signature - there's a link to the FAQ section - there's a pretty comprehensive turbo thread there Alternatively, if you go way up to the top of the page, you should see a button with 'FAQs' wriiten on it, just below the FF logo. It's the same link.

another option is to buy one already turbo'ed. a couple recently sold on here, for less than the cost of conversion kits.

Cam. not cams. the 1108's are a single cam

Get the brakes, wheels and suspension sorted and get back.

But -- tubs apart -- super tuning an 1108 is going to be much more expensive than moderate tuning on a bigger engine.
