if 20kg's is all thats in it, don't take a passenger too often, (or use it as an insentive too loose weight) and whack a 4agze in it provided money isn't an issue...

For the dollars spent, bang for your buckwise I would stick with the turboed A15.

I know on the racetrack the naturaly aspirated multivalves were being beaten by John Taylors A15, and I doubt if a blown 1600cc multivalve would be making much more HP than a Blown A15.

I think that you will find that a simple j-pipe turbo will be alot cheaper than a conversion. A turbo a15 will still go like the clappers on 8psi with not too much more than a decompression plate to the long motor.

In terms of conversions, there are a few factors. In NSW at least, I dont believe you can get a 1.8 litre turbo registered because of the weight of the car. So this rules out the ca18det, leaving you pretty much with the ca16 or toyota 4age.

Then there is the weight of the engines. They are both more than 20kg's heavier than an a series and as 1000's cant exactly change spring rates, etc, it could throw that out.

But heck, it would be a bloody exciting thing to drive!

Done a little bit of homework, and there are some references to it beign done, but nothing concrete.
I was planning to turbo an a15, but for the dollars spent, It might be a better option to go to a factory turbo motor.

Has anyone done this, is it possible (within reason as everything is possible with enough money)?? comments?
