Despite having the exact same engine and gearbox in my garage at this moment in time I'm seriously tempted to buy it. I could turn my track cinq into a twin engine 4 wheel drive track cinq

I am on it but the personne don't answer since friday night

I have to be patient but it's hard

perhaps the first 1.4 16v cinq in France at my knowledge:slayer:

be aware that the punto mk1 inlet manifold wont fit this engine

How come? Are there different versions of the 1.4 Starjet as I'm sure others have fitted the mk1 1242 16v inlet onto them?

starjet stud placings are in different place

he used stilo iirc

arc · May 16, 2009

mine was stilo, which is not starjet. the mk1 punto manifold won't fit the starjet /gp engines like dave has said

Chas Uno · May 16, 2009

Thanks for clearing that up guys

What's the difference between the 1.4 16v in the Stilo and the 1.4 16v Starjet though? Is it just the inlet? Any idea why Fiat changed it?

Forgive the questions, I'm curious!

arc · May 16, 2009

the inlet has a flap to close half of the port at low RPM, and also it has a variator on top which retards the exhaust cam to heat the cat up quicker for emissions reasons.

they are both emissions devices, nothing to do with performence

Chas Uno · May 16, 2009

Thanks Arc

So if I ever go 1.4 16v it's a Stilo engine I'll be after :devil:

or 100hp panda

arc · May 16, 2009

or a panda 100hp / mk2.5 punto

but if you're looking at fitting it into a panda, then you should have the space at the back of the bay for the 1.4 inlet - which the flaps can be easily jammed open, and the variator easily removed and bypassed.

If I get one it's going in a mk1 Uno

Main reason for fitting the early 1.2 16v inlet is to avoid the fly by wire throttle of the 1.4 engines. Too much of a headache to retro-install into an old car compared with a simple cable

arc · May 16, 2009

uno.. still lots of room

iirc kritip has a 1.4 inlet but with a cable TB on it. it can be done, but the 'easiest' is the non-starjet engines, but then if one crops up cheap - no reason not to get it

why not just buy that 450 hp uno in classified?

Good point! I'm going to finish my exams first and then see what my options are

Someone already bought it and is stripping it for spares

Plus I don't think I can handle 450bhp
