i've seen a 1996 bravo 1.4 for sale it's engine is in bits, would it be possible to fit a punto or uno 1.4 gt turbo engine?
as a labour of love.
 
cos i want a painless job! figure engine mountings etc may be similar, plus coupe engine'd probably mean new suspension , gearbox, wiring loom, all that! plus i can get a turbo 1.4, no idea where to find a 2.0!
 
they use different engines.

the GT uses the 1372cc block with the 8v head.

the bravo uses the 1370cc block with the 12v head.


even if you could bodge it on, it would be pointless unless you could change the compression ratio, and then you need to install a seperate ecu to allow greater control of the fueling and ignition, and then realistically you'd need to scrap the CFI in favor or MPI for it to really work well.

total cost? roughly double that of buying an HGT, and it still wont be as fast.
