So your turboing a 1300? You'll want forged pistons, and by the way it's a magnesium alloy case which is even weaker then a aluminum case. You won't be able to get too much boost out of stock motor unless you go through it. After everything is said and done you would be better off with a built NA type 1 motor.

i'm not a specialist but the manual said that the 1300(44hp) code "F" engines has alumanium cases and the pistons is the same material as the 1500 engines, it's called a "steel strut alumanium alloy", i don't know this material is good or week but anyway i will never exceeds the 4 psi of boost(maybe less) and if my engine will give a gain of 30hp more or even less, i will be glad for that, cuz it's a daily driver after all ;-) , my other project is to buy a 1600cc engine(i don't like large disp. cuz i think more power from small disp. is the real performance) on my other 71 bug(need a full restoration) and installs a bigger boost range with forged pistons and c/w crank and everything it takes when i got some money in spare(i wish)....
but now my idea is to build a "street car" with minor modifications producing the best power it could safely gives, i took it as a chalenge ;-)...
thank's...

Fabbing a turbo setup will cost more then buying a good used 1600. I have built a couple of 1641 screamers, but there is no replacement for displacement.

Turbo a 1300 eh... cool!

Have a read here

Similar thing, with some good recommendations.

"no replacement for displacement" Thats a very old skool, simplistic way of looking at things. Sure turbo charging things by the book would cost more than building a budget 1641, but if it was done by the book it would probably blow the 1641 away!

A fellow by the name of Ian Swinkles built a turbo 1641 that put out 165hp.

Good luck, and have fun

blow is away too difficult for me as my car is carburated and it need huge modifications that i will never find someone here in egypt could help me building it and fine-tune it the way it should.
someone was talking with me about building my own "actuator"(that will sense the on-boost(+) only and do the fuel change), so i'm intrested in this part now, any ideas??????????
as u adviced me guys all this setup will be in my new 1600(AS) rebuild engine,, and i will just add some mild-jump parts in my old 1300 like a 1.25 rockers with dual spring set and choromly push rods, 1.5" exhaust 4in1 header, single weber(40 or 32/36 progressive) and maybe an ignitor2 points with a msd6 cdi(when i got more extra money), i've been told that all this parts together will add about 35% of my stock 40HP...
thanks
