Hey guys,

i wondered if anyone could help me on a little idea i have.
i want to stick a bigger engine in my panda 4x4, but i need some info on it.

please >check this link out< for the thread over in the panda classic section.. share with me your knowledge!

Thanks,
John

hmm so i have decided to go for the 1.2 8v MPI engine from a punto 75.

just a quick question, as there seems to be a few different variants for 1.2 8v engine,

is this the correct gasket set for the 1.2 8v MPI engine:

Click to expand...

that is for a mk2 plastic inlet manifold, there is no gasket for the 75 manifold

ahh thanks, but that set would work though? i ask only because it has the bolts with it.
i can hang onto or give the manifold gaskets to some one.

aaalso..

this engine i am getting is quite high mileage. just over 117k miles besides gaskets, anything else i should change.

i will be changing the belts water pump and thermostat. as well as all of the gaskets and valve stems, crank case seals and gasket.

think the piston rings would be alight?.. or should i only change them "when they go" by that i mean if compression is low on a dry test, then higher on a wet test.

im not sure what miles a fire block will do before thing start acting up. am i just being over cautious?

id find new engine before stripping to change rings,

i was going to get one of them mk3 1.1 panda head sets for the same reason it had bolts, but i wasnt sure on the quality as it was un named kit

hmm i dont think the rings would have gone at 117k miles. i have seen fire engines do 250k miles and still running good.

crazy...

hey guys, can anyone do me a favor and scan me the wiring diagram for the 1.2 p75 punto? i need to know where to wire in the code system and what colour wires, and how many go to the code box.

thanks guys

Wires?

Codes?

Secret handshakes?

Dude! I have FrankenFiat II sat in my shed.

eeeeeewwwwwwwww wasteful carbs...

i want some eco injection. wiring in an eprom controlled injector kill switch for coasting
press and hold button to stop the injectors, but as soon as the throttle is pressed the injectors come back on even if the button is being held down, also have an RPM sniffer, if engine rps drop below say 600RPM it gives power back to the injectors.. even if the button is still being pressed.
these are the fun things with injection!


hehe i could also wire in a coil pack kill switch.. you know.. just to see if i can get the exhaust to bang. no cat and the exhaust switch so i can put it to strait pipe.. yeah it may bang without the kill switch hehe

anyway the car is not meant to go fast.. its purely a road going show car.
you should see what i am doing to the dash board

If you make a bell housing adapter you can use my 1.6 Sporting (128 genII) engine, loom immobiliser and such. 90bhp more torque than any production FIRE or SuperFIRE engine. Once that's in place you can venture over to the darkside as the 1.7D and 1.7TD share the same block. The MKII Punto 1.9D (pre-JTD) is the biggest of the 128 based diesel engines.

Some of the Punto GT Turbo guys have used the 1.9 Diesel block and low compression pistons to get 300+bhp.

The Punto GT, Uno Turbo engine fits in the Panda bay and the 1.6 is the same size.

But for your needs it would probably be best to find a Punto 75 and get stripping (even though a crank sensor engine won't be a good if you go off road).

hey guys.. what colour wire or pin on the 8F ECU do i wire up the code box to?

anyone??

please have a look here for the full details:

https://www.fiatforum.com/cinquecen...nto-section-i-need-your-help-2.html?p=3541175

i'm guessing that these ones in haynes are no good?

i didnt have a hyanes.

anyway.. as now i have found out what each wire does, i am going to post it here for any future reference.

the 8F ECU wiring colours for the P75 1.2 MPI engine:

a big thick RED wire, is a constant live from the battery.
ORANGE wire, its an ignition live.
BROWN with WHITE stripe is the fuel pump
BLUE wire, it is for the REV counter
LIGHT GREY with GREEN stripe goes to the CODE box (ECU pin 7)(wire colours match on ECU and CODE box connector!)
BLUE with GREEN stripe goes to the injector/engine management light (ECU pin 6)
LIGHT GREY with YELLOW stripe goes to the oil light
LIGHT GREY with BLACK stripe goes to the battery/Alternator light
LIGHT GREY only wire goes to the temperature gauge


I hope this helps some one in the future!


i also have found out that if you give the CODE light a permanent live, with the engine and ignition OFF, it flashes like an alarm "armed" light. looks cool, but i would swap the bulb out for an LED. as it is a bit more power saving and the constant on/off on a filament/incandescent bulb causes them to blow faster whereas it does not effect an LED.

haynes just says petrol fuel and ignition. but dosent say what engine its for so i just asumed it was spi
