120 turbo

[Nats Whiskas]

Hey People,

Right since the student loan is coming through in the next couple of weeks im thinking of adding a bit more "go" to the 120.

Now as to my understanding the turbo on the rover 75 1.8 would fit on to the 120?

I understand that i will obviously need all the pipe work, intercooler, lower compression pistons and possibly a remap but am i missing anything else?

What sorta power outputs would i be looking at with this? Anything else i need to know/take into consideration before i go charging around?

Cheers

Nat

its not that simple as its gunna cost you thousands cos 1st of all you will need a custom ecu and uprated pistons and turbo / pipe work you would be better off fitting a t16 lump or having a 75turbo or mg zt turbo lump fitted and get a custom ecu to run it and mate of mine had a 75 turbo lump put in and an emerald ecu to run it the ecu was ova ?700 + engine and fitting but it did run 200bhp at 14psi

Do what I'm doing and look at selling your 120 and buying a 180

yeah zs 180
full system exhaust
decat
good air filter
and a remap by matt reidy and you will be running 200 bhp
