Hi guys and girls.
Im Ross, 24 from Grimsby. I dont currently have a 126 but did have one in the past when i was 18. It only lasted a week till i killed it :oops:
Anyhoo im gonna get another with the sole purpose of turboing it!
I currently have a 1990 skyline gtr
1993 renault 5 turbo powered van
1978 mini pick up
1978 vw camper turbod :lol:
1966 vw camper soon to be turbo
1986 bmw 325 sport
Im gonna aim for 50 bhp from an aircooled 650 turbo
Any way thats me!
Hi!
:D :D :D
-
welcome matey hope u get a few gearboxes to go with yer turbo lol you'll need them!!
all the best

You can get more than 50 by getting the engine rebored and set up properly.
Would be better off sticking a bigger engine in. golf engines are popular. VW aircooled would be a doddle, Skoda aircooled. Plent of choice and much cheaper and more efective than the Turbo way.
-
Yeah i would like more than 50 but i just want to see the limitations of the standard 126 motor to begin with. As for engine swaps if it comes to it ive got a 1400 turbo out of my renault APPARANTLY which was dynod at 240bhp which should fit in quite snuggly :)
Can you make a 126 handle real nice and tight like a mini or is it pretty much mission impossible?
Thanks for the welcome guys
-
For the super mechanic you seem to be the question is a little strange. Surely you have some idea about handling if you are supertining all these cars.
Yes they can be made to handle.

sorry when did i say that?
SUPERTINING? For a teacher you seem to have a spelling issue not to mention an attitude problem or is that just towards me because ive offended you in some way?

Hmmm... some interesting notes on cylinder heads in there :)
I think ive heard something about fitting panda heads to 126s in the past.
Is this a popular mod and are the heads readily available or are they from certain import models etc.
Always best to do your homework before embarking on such a project. :D
Thanks

Hi Ross,welcome,hows the form?The 126 can handle quite nicely(even in stantard form) it all depends on the monkey behind the wheel :lol: I,ve pissed off Porsche drivers in the past (in a corner any way,probibly because the numpty in the Porsche could'nt drive his finger up his arse) :shock: .Anyway mate welcome any probs i'm sure we could help.By the way Dajwid air cooled skoda?Tell me more.

Seen a 126 with a 120 skoda engine fitted. went like hell.Not sure what box he used.
Most people here use fiat Cinquecento engines.

Ive heard of people using the cinqy engines before and would love to see one! On the subject of gearboxes would an 87 model have syncro on all forward gears?
-

Im about to fit one in my 500, with a bit of luck it will be up and running in a couple of weeks. 1108 MPI – converted to run on carbs. Made two sets of adaptor plates, studs spigot shaft bearings etc, so ones for sale for the right price. :lol:

blimey Nigel, thats come along way since i last saw it, my brother saw you driving about the other day,

Err!!! Will let you know in a few weeks :roll:
I have two boxes so will have one rebuilt and ready to go in if the other fails. I think it should be ok as long as I am not too agresssive in first. There is a company in Germany who makes a very strong five speed for race 500/126's, it's expensive at 1700 euros but in the long term it might be worth looking at.
whats happening with the engine mounts?
Will let you know, at the weekend, we have a spare block which we will use for mock-up, and are going to get it attached to the box in the car and 'wing it' from there.
Should be a laugh when its done :twisted: Anybody want a highly tuned 650 aircooled with all the bits (exhaust, carb, alternator etc etc)?

i am in awe .....wow...
