So after driving my '00 mk1 seicento with a tickled 1.2 16v, I am looking for moooooore Currently the 16v has:
Supersprint exhaust
300cell racecat
Iridium sparks
Low resistance spark cables
Bigger TB (forgot the size)
ECU by Woj
I have always wanted to build engines, but never had the chance to follow my dreams through my school/career, but have always been working on cars since I was 15. So, after I was offered a turbo kit that came of a Cento, I decided it is time will go on my own adventure with my first build not bought engine :slayer:
I have already spend some time researching the forums to get a rough idea of how to start, and this is my current plan:
These items came with the kit
1.2 8v MPI head (p75)
Garret tb19
Intercooler
Piping
Oil lines
Forge dumpvalve
ECU by Woj (again . Should run without any piggybacks as this kit came from a runing turbo cinq which was using a stock 1.1 bottom end with thick head gasket)
Boost controller (manual by the looks of the pics)
This is what I was planning on using/adding myself
p75 bottom end (mk1 or m2?)
p85 pistons/rods (mk1 or mk2?) (avoiding thick gaskets to avoid blowing them)
Oil cooler (previous guy didn't had one)
EBC (I would like to have boost by gear which is going to be a challenge)
Water/Alcohol injection (to boost (hehe) the reliability. source)
As with the p75 bottom end and p85 pistons/rods I am having my doubts going for mk1 or mk2 parts. Reason is that I already know that the mk2 16v bottom is stronger but has a higher compression which I need to get rid of, but I'm not sure if the same goes for the mk2 p75 bottom end. So this brings me a couple of questions.
Does anyone know I can calculate the final CR if I would be using a combi of mk1 or mk2 p75 and p85 parts?
Do both the mk1 and mk2 p76 engines have oil jets to cool the pistons from below?
Does it matter that the 16v pistons have the indents for the extra valves? I'm thinking of issues like hotspots on the sharp edges.
Is it normal that the previous guy was using 10w60 oil? Even without an oil cooler this seems mad...
In total, I have set a budget aside of about 800-1000eur to build this engine of which 550 goes to the turbo kit, which sounds doable to me (but then again, this is my first build not bought engine )
All help is welcome!
