Is that a mk3 1.4 engine??

If it is then i wouldnt bother!

For the money you'll spend buying all the parts to turbo her ide say you could swap in an abf/vr6,have money left over and still be putting out more than 137bhp.

 

Its alot of work, and alot of money to charge a n/a car! Trust me!

 

im not bein igorant if i wanted to put a different engine id put in a different engine im wantin to turbo charge my engine to see what power id get i have seen it succesfully done on the net and i want to do it with my engine and it wont cost much to do as i will be buying second hand parts and doin the work myself and id say around €500/€600 would do it so if anyone can get me a engine cheaper than that i will change the engine

 

those AEX 1.4 motors are grief -they burn often gallons of oil after 80/90 thou miles -stem oil seals usually; if you are planning on throwing lots of coin at it and fitting a turbo, you'd nearely want to strip the entire engine down, a rebuild with a rebuild kit checking everything for tolerances/wear...
In short I wouldnt bother!!

 

my engine has 194thousand miles on it it only gets serviced every 10kmls and dosnt burn a drop of oil in between services

 

it will be pointless really 1.4 aex was 60bhp standard

itd be better dropping in an abf or 16v in the long run

 

You're looking at custom manifolds and mountings. Or buy a kit for ~€3000 from Germany.

 

why would i do that when for a manifold i can cut my own flange off and weld a garret flange on to it and make my own down pipe and intercooler pipeing and as for a boost controller i can get a mechanical 1 and run a boost gage and for fuel all i need to do is change the fuel pump get injectors out of a bigger cc engine and run a mechanial fuel pressure regulator

 

sure it's your car. i'd say chance it and see what happens. a turbo form a starbo/glanza would be spot on i'd say
i'd keep the pressure fairly low though.
post up some pics

 

Who are you going to get to map it? Did you budget for an ecu?

 

dont need too get it mapped just bolt it together advance de spark and hope for the best

 

its only gonna be running 5-6 psi real low boost

 

How are you going to make 137 BHP with only 5-6 PSI of boost?

As far as i remember a 1.8 20vt AGU engine only makes 150BHP @ 7 PSI

An abf conversion can be done very cheap, Less than €500 if you play your cards right

 

if u can get me a conversion done that cheap id do it the only reason im goin down the turbo route is because for 1 ive no facilities too change an engine and 2 i think it would work out cheaper and easier

 

by the sounds of things, you just want to do it as a personal project so go for it!
I don't see the point though as it seems like a lot of work and money for only 137bhp. a mk2 16v will be just as quick and ABF's are 150 before you start modding. but if your addiment...i salute you

Is the aex exhaust manifold tubular steel or cast? welding cast is a dodgy business and I'd be surprized if it will stand up to the heat, weight and vibration very long.
What turbo would you use? the only small engined turbo I can think of is a glanza.

What injectors do they use?

Do you plan on using the standard ECU?
You will need a MAP sensor to get it to run any way smooth and at very least a Wideband Lambda kit so you dont melt the yoke! I just bought a Tech Edge one, hurt me at €300 so that would blow your budget.

I really think your mad to think about turbo charging an engine with 194k on it, pick up a low miler and you can fit the turbo etc to it in the garage before you rip up the car.

 

but sure what engine would i be able too get for my budget cause i am unemployed and was gonna buy de bits week by week for the turbo kit anyone able ta help out

 

Compression ratio? standard or lowered? you'd need a sandwich plate or 2 headgaskets...which means a headset aswell

 

As said before, ABF. its the mk3 2ltr 16v, 150bhp standard. do some looking for that, a crashed gti is what you want and rob the fuel pump and brakes while your there

 

thinking about a steel triple plated head gasket and new streach bolts

 

how much would a crashed one set me back id go for the 16v alright dont want an 8v

You'll need a piggy back ecu to control the timing, and some sot of fuel management to, an fmu works for low boost set ups.

There is a 3dr mk3 16v on gumtree I think for €1000, it has air con and looks ok in the pics. Just buy that and save yourself all the pricking around.

insurance only 19 payin 2500 on a 1.4 as it is

You will find it harder to insure a 2.0 that was a 1.4 than a 2.0 from the factory imo. Unless you weren't going to say anything to the insurance about the conversion which wouldn't be a good idea.

 

Would it be a sin to suggest a tdi? your insurance will be cheaper than 2500, thats extorsionate!
A re-chiped 110bhp will give 137bhp and 50-odd mpg. cheap to run too
