Nice vid pal. I'm in the process of trying to sort a K-series turbo myself. Are you using uprated pistons and con rods etc? As I've heard the maximum a 1.4 bottom end can handle is the 160 mark. I was thinking about adding an oil cooler to the back of the block to try and reduced the temp a bit more. Any help would be appreciated! Cheers!
Hey, im going to be turbo charging my 1.4 soon, what did you use for engine management?

@Oggyad, they are uprated yes. ive seen a std 1.4 make just over 300! but to be safe id say closer to the 200 mark.
oil cooler might be useful on a small engine bay where the air cant get round the engine. front mounted would be best.
take a look for EVO 1400 turbo k-series, he had a std 1.4 in that.

lol nice, did you manage to keep it reliable??

i seriously doubt 200bhp from a 1.4, highly tuned 1800 caterhams trash their engines in 3k miles at sub 200bhp levels.

could you upload a copy of the dyno printout?
deancarr10 3 years ago
a tuned N/A engine is fragile, but by Turbo charging an engine you get more power and better reliability, 200bhp is acheiveable
