Take a look at a 20vt manifold, you'll notice that with one of the end branches chopped off it 'looks' like a perfect fit

Has anyone tried this mod on a Punto HGT? Would save a ££ thats for sure. Only problem is the Coupe manifold is well known for cracking.

Not that I know of, it would take a bit of chopping though lol, surely for the cost a 16vt lump would be a better bet.

this german site have a b running tb's (in the special's bit),

187bhp would be nice lol.

Can anyone read this ? I cant get Google to work on it.

Wij menen dat op elke auto een set gasklephuizen geplaatst kan worden. Ook moderne auto's welke aan strenge wettelijke eisen ten aanzien van de uitlaatemissies moeten voldoen kunnen prima functioneren met meerdere gasklephuizen. De aansturing van de motor gebeurd bij ons vrijwel altijd met DTA en ondanks dat dit een race management is, lukt het ons om aan de strengste emissieeisen te voldoen. Met de meeste set-ups is intensief straatgebruik en de jaarlijkse APK geen enkel probleem. Throttle bodies zijn niet alleen voor het circuit, maar geven ook op de openbare weg veel rijplezier!

Deze Fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V is voorzien van 4 individuele gasklephuizen en wordt aangestuurd door een DTA-module. De motor is voorzien van een paar scherpere nokkenassen en een verstelbaar nokkenastandwiel. Ondanks dat werkelijk alles via de centrale computer werkt (bijvoorbeeld elektrische ramen en startblokkering) is het toch gelukt om de aansturing van de motor te doen met een ander motormanagement. Het resultaat in vermogen is gegaan van standaard 130 pk naar 190 pk! Het koppel is ook aanzienlijk toegenomen en het maximum toerental is gegaan naar 8000 tpm.

Wij zijn op dit moment het enige bedrijf dat throttle bodies op een Barchetta kan installeren. Andere tuningsbedrijven zijn ervan overtuigd dat het niet mogelijk is.

Geniet van onderstaande foto's...

All I could understand is DTA and the power it makes lol.

Translation:-
We think that on each car a set gasklephuizen can be placed. Also modern cars which to strict legal requirements with respect to the uitlaatemissies must function satisfy are able very well with several gasklephuizen. The supervision of the engine happened at our nearly always with DTA and in spite of that this a race management is, succeeds it us to satisfy to the strictest emissieeisen. With most set-ups are intensive straatgebruik and the annual APK absolutely no problem. Throttle bodies are not only for the circuit, but also give away on the public much file pleasure! These fiat Barchetta 1.8 16V are Dta-module provide with 4 individual gasklephuizen and are headed by. The engine is provide with a couple sharper nokkenassen and adjustable nokkenastandwiel. In spite of that really everything by means of the central computer work have nevertheless succeeded (for example electric windows and startblokkering) it do the supervision of the engine with a another engine management. The result in capacity has gone of standard 130 pk to 190 pk! The cross-belt has also considerably increased and the maximum toerental has gone to 8000 tpm. We are at this moment the only company that throttle bodies on Barchetta can install. Other tuningsbedrijven have been persuaded of it that it is not possible.

I want it, I want it, I want it !!!! hhheheh I bet its £££££

I have my plans and I think I will stick with them.

10 minutes ago I was going to play devil's advocate and ask why?? Why bother messing about with your B engine? We all own a nice Italian open topped sportscar that can be driven with gusto within the parameters that Fiat set out, why would we need anything else? Just enjoy the car as it is and if you want a screamer then go buy a screamer............then II saw the pics on that website............
No no dont do it In order to satisfy my lust for a bit more power, I am again on the lookout for a coupe, preferably a 20V turbo with a buggered engine as a winter project, to buy after I get back from Australia at the end of May. It's got to be yellow though

Getting the Barchetta bhp to around 180-190 at the wheels is realistic and a fun project. Dont forget thats only 50 bhp more then OEM, so its not like looking for 250-300bhp or anything silly like that.

I'd love to hear that thing at full chat through a long tunnel, better than any dump valve.

I've got to say that this sounds a nice option, anyone contacted them about the price?

bolting on four weber carbs has got to stuff with the MPG :slayer: heheheh

In a lot of ways the Barchetta is simmilar to the coupe why not go for something completely different....BMW 750 they are very cheap to buy, built like a brick sh*thouse (very solid) originally a £70,000 car that you can pick up for a couple of grand or the early 32's are in hundereds. 5lt V12 produces 300bhp just removing the limiters makes it a 180mph car a bit of tweeking gives 350bhp and a bolt on dinan supercharger gives 450bhp.

Just a thought

But it's not a Fiat Coupe
Personally Alan, I do not like BMW's

Sorry Alan, didnt mean to upset you matey
Never ever had the BMW bug but have always been an Audi fan, owning three of them

Not so keen on the new ones but love the old ones. I suppose it would be a sad world if we all liked the same thing. It's wierd but I respect audi's cars but would never buy one?

My other car is an Audi A4 2.5TDi and it's great, love it. Before that I had a BMW 320 Diesel and loved that too . . .

Oh, we have so much in common Gill

Had a play in an Alpina B10 earlier F**K ME it's fast and the interior was just Think I've fallen in love again but how many mistresses can you have?
