HI GUYS :-)
im looking foword to my next car. im going to buy a hatch esi and i want to turbocharged it. now my question is that the engine is to old something like 13 ears on the street. can i turbocharged it on the orginal 1.6 120 bhp engine or it would be better
to change the engine to VTI OR soemthing else???
thanks. roy

If you run a compression test and all the numbers are good and the motor is strong then you shouldnt have a problem turbocharging and getting it properlly tuned.

How many miles are on the motor?

 

ok. something like 140k. also my friend tell me that there is another option to open the head engine.
ok thanks im searching for a lot of time. its very hard to get one of the esi in israel all of theme
broken from all sides of the car....
thanks

leakdown test would be more effective than a compression... but doin both would be best!
