Hi,
anybody knows is there a possibility to install without too many mods the turbo from RCZ R 270HP to 1.6 200 THP engine? Or any turbocharger which can be available to install???
One modification for the RCZ R turbo, you will need the RCZ R engine too

At this moment the RCZ R development is still too new and so nobody has done any swap overs from it to standard RCZ's. We will be looking into these possibilities but currently we offer everything you need.
I doubt very much the standard non modified (strengthened) 1.6 can put up with RCZ R engine modifications. We did come across a turbo that can push it to 350 bhp but you must go through the engine as leaving it stock will only result in engine failure when you push it. We are at 252 on ours and will be doing some more remap next week to see if we can get too 260, but any more is not recommended without rebuilding the engine to withstand the extra power.
At the end of the day the 1.6 is too small to be a power plant as you want it to be unless you eliminate reliability. Do an engine swap, make it rear wheel drive, now we might be talking about a truly awesome RCZ.
