What kind of power would you expect to get out of a 1.0l turbo, compared to a 1.3/4 engine swap +turbo?

depends on the boost level stuart this high comp/1.3 cammed CG10 is about 125hp @ 10psi
my CGA3 had the same @ about 6psi, but that had far more grunt tho
this would make an awesome lightweight/stripped tracktool, it goes like the clappers when you rag it

Good to know, thanks Frank

After seeing Franks kingy, are you planning on turboing the 1.0l or swapping to a larger engine?

From everything I've read the 1.0 turbo in franks loves to rev and the power comes at higher RPM than the 1.3...makes the 1.0 more fun for say track days but not necessarily as fast as the 1.3

Then I've never turbo'd one so could be talking cr*p

 

[Kingy2k6123]

Turbo the 1.0 just for the fact I can say I beat you in a 1.0l Micra to my mates lol

 

[Kingy2k6123]

She's low now haha

 

[Magpie42]

Whoa!

Now that's what I call low - volume 1....

You don't have speed bumps round your way, do you?

[Magpie42]

What did you put in the back?

I wrote about the moment when I briefly drove franks beast round the block last year during JAE.

although the engine was cold and dearnt push it, the thing that really surprised me with a big grin was the ultra responsive flywheel.
a scary car to drive for the first time unfamiliar with the driving feel but a happy satisfying type of scary

A wot O wot? Haha Lmao magpie your forgetting I'm a newbie lol. Gently does it lol

 

[McMicra]

Uh-oh haha

Lowering it that much is a bad idea without having an adjustable panhard rod

our @Noddie makes em

[Huggy444]

Will make the back end rub badly and maybe make it twitchy due to misalignment....
Need a panhard rod asap

 

[Kingy2k6123]

OK lads will invest in one next week, just trying to get parts ready for the turbo build as it now handles like a go cart instead of a boat lol, just need some more horses
