Technical Fitting a Fiat Coupe 2.0 turbo engine in a Barchetta

it would be cheaper to have a new manifold made up to suit the trubo housing instead of using one off the 16v i think anyway lol.

when i was going to have a manifold made up for the hgt i was quoted £1200 from simpson lol so i thought id leave that till the last min lol
 
it might not be cheaper, but it would be smarter, since its not built for turbo use, and them adaptor flanges just restrict the F#kc out of the exaust. id go custom on the manifold, you want as best a flow as you can get, poor flow= slow spool.
 
i'm thinking more along the lines of a T3/T4 hybrid, 46 trim, 360 thrust impeller. ball bareing. they spool pretty quickly and can make upto 350 BHP. plenty of room for expansion. but then i think of the wastegate. if space is tight that would just get in the way, so need to go external wastegate with a relocation pipe. some kind of BOV, prefrably recirlative. but 200BHP on an NA engine, thats Forgies teritory, or a decomp plate, but thats just getting sloppy. i could ramble away all night at this.

Thought we had around three Greeks on the barchetta forum, now it seems we have four:D :D
 
All great info (y)

A T3/T4 hybrid, 46 trim, 360 thrust impeller sounds like it will do the job. I cant ever see me wanting more then 200BHP in a Barchetta as I dont think the rest of the car could take it.

Sounds like a custom manifold is going to cost me a bit :cry:
 
This looks like it will do the job.

TD05H-18G turbocharger with 8cm turbine housing for NISSAN SILVIA S14 / S15 or most of European car with T25 Flange

Click me

TD05H-18G turbo is good for 1.8~2.5L engine and can support around 350 BHP

looks good mate, Ask them all the specs on it tho. includeing measurments, then see if you have the space. your also most likey going to have to get a new radiator, as this turbo gives out ALOT of heat and loves cool water.

These blokes up at cold finland have a good reputation for making good kits. I have sent them an email but apparently my finnish is not good enough:D

PS: I m still chasing the dude with the turbo B here to take some pics and info.
 
I remember reading a detailed blog from a guy who'd done a DIY turbo on an MX5 in Australia. He claimed 200Hp+ at the wheels from a rolling road.

He reckoned it was an interesting project which ruined a good car. He wished afterwards he hadn't done it. Lots of heat, B* to work on the engine bay with all the pipework etc, spoilt the balance of the car, no traction control and scrubbed tyres. He also had to uprate the brakes & clutch. Car apparently handled like a missile with the same sort of issues in steering.

I've got a Coupe 20Vt which gives me enough grief as a factory designed turbo car. I wouldn't want to stand near a B turbo.
 
I would tend to agree in principal. I'm just not sure where the limit for the Barchetta is.

I also think the Doc has upgraded suspension, fatter tyres, a strut brace and better brakes, which of course should help.

My brother has got a 1.6 turbo MX-5 which seems fine, but it's nearer 160 than 200bhp.

My personal feeling is that the Barchetta is good for 180bhp with modifications like Docs.

Again, at a personal level, I'm more interested in a fast racing cam like DanGil has ordered.

On the other hand, perhaps an LSD would solve a lot of problems?
 
Cancelled the order last week, i've been waiting since early febuary for them. If you contact Gazzella racing you could probaly take over my order and be 6 months into it.
 
Given up tbh, would of loved to see the diffrence they made though.

I picked up a 16vt cheap and i'm currently rebuilding it,

I can take some pictures of the mounts if anyone wants to see what they look like, sizes etc. The coupe driveshafts are fatter and the splines are extremely similar but not the same.
 
I just brought it for the engine but after driving it i'm afraid to say I prefer it lol.
