Nissan Cherry 1.3
I was thinking of adding a turbo from a vauxhall corsa (2000) to an 1985 Nissan cherry.
It was originally 60bhp but me thinks is left 50 horse's in the stable.
Any advice greatly appreciated
 
Hello and welcome :D

You will need understand that you can't just add a turbo to a NA engine and all will be well.

I have posted the link that will give you some insight as to what is needed to help give you a better understanding as to what needs doing to prevent it going bang .

 
The fuel and air intake of the Cherry will definitely need uprating and the head bolts are likely to give way under boost.

The other problem you'll have is the high compression ratio of the cherry, you'll need to drop this or run low boost to compensate.
 
I admire your ambition and enthusiasm and wish you well, please keep us updated with your project and plans as they develop and feel free to run things by our community for suggestions and tips.
