Hi I'm wondering if anyone is in the know on whether a bolt on turbo from a different jtd would fit my jtd punto 80hp 2002..

It's had everything else I know alot of the higher spec engines have the variable vane units I'm not wanting to try to get one of these to work..

I could be wrong but I'm sure I read something about a stilo turbo might go on..
It has a gsr induction kit so airbox doesn't matter.

Thanks if you can help. Josh.
 
Yeah it's the earlier jtd the 1.9 jtd.. It's remapped with a gsr induction kit to 127 bhp.. It's now got a full stainless, egr bypass, oil breather to atmosphere, decat,
I think a bleed valves next if no turbo upgrade is available.
Maf is knackered so it's running unplugged until I get one.
Something to add I run the tuning box at its top setting and that's on top of the remap, I'm pretty sure Red dot did it.
No split injector rail and done so for alot of miles.

Oh and yes it's quick and bloody loud.

And it doesn't smoke.

did u modifie your induction setting for the gsr kit or does ur car have originaly like a box filter like 1.3 jtd?, because i wna change the box filter into gsr or k&n induction. does it even make a differance because some say it doesnt.

what do you mean by egr baypass?

also since u incresed hp so much, did u change the clutch to or do u still run the stock?

I mean it's deleted by means of plate at either end of egr valve ie exhaust side, intake side.. Completely blocked.. It does throw a code on multiecu scan..
 
sorry missed a load out it ran on the standard Valeo alright maybe toasted it to quick it's now on stage 2 kevlar clutch.
Gsr has a k&n typhoon on now.
It needs a new arch liner as it was slammed before.. Air filter gets exposed to crap. I replaced knackered fk coilovers with vogtland 35mm drop suspension kit.. It's got a momo alloy strut brace.

For a track it's brilliant suspension don't move, countryside roads are interesting lol.

i read something about deleting egr, but what does that acully do? im gona take egr off for cleaning this weak maybe ill delet is aswell? whats the gain and whats the loss of the delet?


is that k&n airfilter specific to ur model or did u modify it, the only induction system i can find for the 1.3 is this one :https://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/71144/fiat/bmc-cda-induction-kits/accda70-130-sassh7080.html

is it ok?

i can get an KN box filter but idk if thats usefull at all.
 
the egr valve distributes a percentage of the exhaust emissions back in the the air intake side.. For combustion again the problem is the black soot collects and mixes with the oil breather to cause a somewhat black sticky mess and jams the egr valve after some time.

My opinion is I should have reduced intake temps a little and the valve is out of the picture so no more cleaning it..
When they jam open it messes up your performance and can cause plooms of smoke.

Hard to say power increase with it already being tuned.. Some cars don't respond well to egr blanking plates and require either a hole in the plate to reduce the amount it can allow through..
Or an actual software delete which is best done when it's remapped after all your other mods are done.

That air filter is universal so you will be making it fit.. EBay has generic ones like that but bmc is a good brand.

The engine in your punto is somewhat different to mine not just it's size but I think thats the multijet.

The induction kit is universal but it already has a gsr which is a silicone pipe that attaches to the turbo running across in front of the wheel arch.. So it's 2 things mated together.

yeah i understand what egr does but i dont understand how to blank/delet it.. i know about the jaming and sticky messs lowering airflow, today i start my cleaning induction system, i have everything from turbo to egr down, the hard part is taking of egr and manifold.. but since i am gona try if i manage i wna delet the egr so i dont bother with the cleaning anymore
 
basically a metal plate is sandwiched so that it blocks flow on mine.. Bought the plate but you can make one.

oh jeah understand, acually blocking one end so the already burned fuel doesnt go in.. hmm idk.. since my egr is in a ****fest location, taking the blockage off it something goes wrong wont be easy...
 
Going back to the original question that was asked, your 1.9 is the same basic engine fitted to a wide variety of cars, including the still, multiple and croma, all of which had the option of a few extra ponies so I'm sure there would be some ability to swap the turbo, and if you're having it mapped properly as you already have done then getting it all working shouldn't prove too much of a problem.

It's also worth noting that fiat made the 1.9hgt multijet which had 100hp as standard, possibly had a different turbo but only 100 or so sold in the uk so getting your hands on a turbo would be unlikely.

Where I would look if I were you is at the SAAB 9-3 diesel or the Vauxhall vectra which also use the same 1.9 fiat engine with a 16v head for more power, turbos may also fit your car.

The thing is the grande 1.9 came with 130hp so you could be spending a lot of money getting this working when a change of car could work out cheaper

Yes I agree a change of car is really the easiest way but as I do my own mechanics, it's only parts to pay for... However I am really only looking at a bolt on upgrade and something that somebody has done before.. Really it's pretty quick as is but if like say the turbo from the hgt or similar would be nice simple upgrade I'd do that..

I'm fairly sure the 16v models have variable vane units and the head on mine wouldn't work with the turbo.
With mine being Waste gate with electronic controller I thought it might be easy but maybe not.. Shame really.

I'd look into it, I remember reading articles around 2005/06 when variable geometry turbos came out, so I'd suspect older cars with more power would just use a larger but conventional turbo charger.

If you can get it all remapped then it should be of benefit, obviously the bigger the turbo the bigger the lag

OK I didn't realise that's the time they came out from what I can see the turbo on the 100bhp / 115bhp is a garret model no 712766 and doesn't appear to be variable vane it's also used on the hgt jtd from what I can see, so I see no reason this can't be used.

But I'm sure someone else would of thought of this as it would be a simple upgrade if it we're a straight swap.
Hmm more research required..
