Depends on a lot of things really, but you'll spend the most on ecu and mapping

As for cost in my opinion depending on what work you do yourself and how basic or advanced you wanna go I'd say 1500 to 2000 would be fair.


Have we persuaded a 1 litre turbo build or put you off, I'd love to see more modded 1 litres about

me too :grinning: members tend to just drop a 1.3 in eh
and costs vary, jas,s roxy owed him 12 grand in the end
and regarding cyl # 3 maybe reducing the quench step near the inlet valves would delay the det spot ? or maybe just remove some metal from the combustion chamber to drop the C/R on that one pot ?

I'm seriously considering it but, I'll have to see what happens in the future as to whether I can..... Although haven't you got that 1.0 block in the garage frank
