How to turbo a Bravo

[Dave]

OK, I currently grasstrack a Bravo 1.4 12v and i want to know if I can fit a turbo to it, I saw on eper that there is a super charger for a bravo but not sure if these would work on a carb. Any suggestions, can I nick one from something else??

would have logged in but forgot my password and account name,

Cheers

Usual turbo conversions are 2.0 20vt coupe conversion, gillan has a 2.0 16vt. I asked recently about the possibility of a 1.6 or 1.8 supercharged and that came back as a no, or would take an incredible amount of time and effort!

 

[Dave]

So not a quick bodge with a welder then!! I need a few more HP's to keep up with the 16v models, oh and a bit less front end impact on the bumpy corners

Well there is a very easy way to make the 1.4 go quicker!!!!



JimmyNos had the right idea.... add Nitrous Oxide to the 1.4 and then watch people try to keep up!!!

I think I can get away with knobbly mud and snow tyres and a bit of octane boost but nitrous?? methinks they might call it cheating, they are fussy bunch.

These are the only two I've got, it has had some panels beaten since then, an orange kia and it didn't get on. Still goes mind.
