Then there are other little bits you need to add like oil/water feeds to the turbo and so forth.
The same.
Engine internals to change I you want to do a good job: aluminum cast pistons to forged pistons and you´ll need less compresion ratio.
I owed a 1.4L F.Uno and that engine was the same as the 1.6L but with smaller diameter pistons, so, I dont know if it is the same with that Palio, but if it is, you would probably dont need to put strenghtened con rods, bearings and crankshaft because it surplus.
Turbo:
- more air inside engine = more air has to come out = bigger exhausts
- NA comp. ratios goes from 9:1 to 12:1, in a turbo maybe you´ll need 8:1
- check what type of turbine you´ll install:
low speed turbine: low turbo lag, high torque, pressure decreases at high speeds
high speed turbine: high turbo lag, high power output at high RPMs
SUGESTION: if you wanna do those modifications as a hobby to get mechanical skills and experience, go for it!
if you want speed with a reliable car, sell your Palio and with the money you where planning to spend in modifications, buy another car
