I'm planning my Cinquecento conversion (keeping an eye out for a nice car) and I've more or less decided on a 1.2 8v engine swap. I've read on here that a bigger throttle body is the way to go but the talk was of a forum member who modified them. Is there a stock throttle body from another fiat that will bolt on, or can be made to fit? Which model should I be looking for?

Hi

The guy you need is called Sparky, he bores them out to 40mm. The punto 1.2 8v has a 32mm so it makes a lot of difference.

I have had my 1.2 8v cinq for a long time with this throttle body too and it has a great amount of torque, it makes the car much more fun!

Cinqs are becoming hard to find now with many being scrapped due to rust but keep looking and you'll find one, where are you located?

Does he still do them? That would be good. I've settled on the 1.2 8v because I don't want to go down the route of changing all the electronics that would be needed to fit a 1.4.

I'm in Birmingham. There's no rush for the car. I'm moving house to a place with a garage in a couple of months, but I'm keeping my eye open in case the right car comes up soon.
