(G) uno turbo

just bought my uno turbo, 1.4 turbo, 1994, and the bottom end is knocking, no realy knocking.

ive had the shells of the bottom end, and it needs a crank and conrod grind, thats £150+ then oversized shells aswell,

can i put a 1.3 turbo engine in, any changes need?

any1 got a spare uno turbo engine, or know of any?

cheers

Yes you can put a Mk1 engine in, I saw a Mk2 Uno Turbo a week ago with this very mod. Owner used top end from Mk2 - injection, cam cover and, I think, cylinder head.

I guess another option would be to source a Tipo 1372cc bottom end, or build that 1600 turbo you've always wanted ;-)

BTW it's real unusual to have those problems with a FIAT engine, must have had neglected oil changes or some such?

alright mate, it is very rare to have those knocking probs on a UT. personally i wouldn't get a mk1 engine, get the mk2 as parts are easier to get and the bigger capacity helps top end revs and bottom end pull. much more modern style engine too

Dunc

Did you not test drive it before you bought it?

yeah, that why i got ,it on the cheap, shell the body shell is mint, and ive alsways wanted 1, so i got it.
the crank looks a bit ruff on no. 4, the rest are fine, gonna try a set of shells in it, let you no what happnes.

i did thnk of puttin 1.4 top to 1.3 bottom, as 1.4 bottom are hard to source.

just want to get it goin, and it did not just knock but it F***in knocked. the shell was in 2 pices when i pulled it of the cap..

is a punto gt the same(ish) engine?
