I just bought myself a 2011 Punto EVO 1.2 as my first car and I love it, although it's getting a bit old now and the engine lacks performance. The acceleration is poor.
I want to replace the old engine (75'000+ miles) with a reconditioned one, although I don't want the original 1.2 engine. I want to try and fit the 1.4 M-Air engine used in the EVO Sporting.
Is this even possible? Is it worth it for a performance boost? My thought process is because both my car and the EVO Sporting are similar then the engine bays will be similar which means the engine swap will be relatively straightforward.
I'm new to cars and don't really know how I would go about doing this.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.
