Hi in was wounding if it was possible to 1380 a mg metro turbo engine , if so what would I need to change to withstand the added power ? Obviously I would need to bore the block and get new pistons ( 73.5) And also would it be possible to un-turbo the engine , the reason for this is that I just passed my test and I can't effort the turbo but I can effort the 1380 insurance , thanks jake |

Remove turbo, bore, add pistons, check compression ratio, skim head if needed, remove carb and fit n/a hif44 and reset fuel pressure to 4psi or just remove it all and fit a normal n/a pump. In a nutshell. But 1380 is nothing alone, you need a decent cam and head. Just going from 1275 to 1380 wont really make all that much difference alone. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Take it to 1293, stick an sw5 in and something like a big valve mg metro head.

If your young, you can get plenty of power from an 998 by fitting a decent stage 1 kit, granted bigger engines will get there quicker, but 1 998 can still reach and cruise at 70 and is probably alot more reliable |
