Aveo turbo charging & part options

[Nemasys]

I gotta say Im not too familiar with the 1.6's turbo capabilities as most of my research and measurements have been done for the 2.0L

From what I can tell seting up the turbo like this could work, worse case scenario is an oil filter relocation kit, it is kind of in the way but as you said, if you can take it out easily then leave it there. The oil return seems a bit low, you could use a small pump to push the oil back into the pan or maybe a smaller turbo would yeild better clearance.

My prefered engine management is Megasquirt. You do need a new coolant temp and intake temp sensors that work with Megasquirt, they are GM sensors and the part numbers are found on megamanual.com. The other sensors should be readable by the unit. The nice thing is you can get rid of the MAP sensor because it has a built in one.

So this would delete the cat, and it would only work with the short header, not the long cat-delete 4-1 header from xiaogary, right?

that is the stock header, xaiogory also makes a header that retains the cat, or can easily be turned into a turbo manifold

I know he does, hunter. But since I already got his long 4-1 header just wanted to see if its doable on that but from the looks of it I could say that I would have to get a different header to make it work. Or go some other route to keep this header (i.e. nitrous or supercharger )

you could do a remote turbo, not "ideal" but it would work. newer v8 cars stick turbos under the seats.. you would only need to go under the intake on the exhaust up sweep and put a heat shield to protect the intake and such.

Interesting idea... Would a local shop know what I'm talking about if I told them that I want to have a "remote turbo" installed? Or is it something I'll have to learn/figure out on my own?

Good luck finding room for a remote turbo.

Nitro it is

newer drift cars are moving the turbos to the back, trying to maintain 50-50 weight if possible, still a new thing though, ill buy your header if you want the other one

If I were to actually do this, I'd put a CAT after the turbo. No big deal. The whole exhaust would need to be custom made anyways.
