I know everyone posts about this so ur prolly reading this yawning and falling to sleep.

BUT!> i jus have a couple of qu's

1) How much, roughly + is there a specific price range.

2) Is the conversion worth doing if u don't want to shell out for a turbo but still want big gains in the long run (is that a proper question?)

3) Milage readings> obviously the engine you put in, will have done diff mileage to the 1108 so what do you do about that??

4) Who would fit one for me

Sorry i didn't bother doing a search! i just thought it would be easier to type this up.:I

1) For the engine i think you're looking at around £150 with an engine with 25k ish on it. Allow an extra £100 for new gaskets, oil, filters and you may as well fit a new timing belt while you're at it.

2) For the money, its the best mod you can do to a cento, so much more torque.

3) The dial in the car records how many miles the car has done, not the engine so you don't alter that. Just make a note of how many miles the new engine has done so if you ever do sell it, you can say it had a new engine fitted and that has done xx miles

4) Fitting.. do it yourself

chars buddy! [8D]

Yu could alter the odometer reading- it is legitimate.

But yu must say to a buyer what the mileage was before it was altered. Selling it without declaring the info is fraud!

not planning on selling it, so its ok

2) - Sod the 1242, buy my 1108 Turbo and go extremely much faster - wouldn't be anymore work than dropping a 1242 in either as it's all setup etc.

Worth it though if you are after proper power gains in my opinion...

Why hasn't anybody gone for the 1.2 16v Punto engine??

If your gonna do something wrong... do it right.

because they're not as good as you'd think. plus, it's a much harder conversion

Its apparently untuneable. and it needs a new ECU and full wiring loom.

Its more effort than result.

someone has... well is in the process of a 1.2 16v

andrew ellsom, the moderator of www.my-sei.com has a 1.2 16v 6-speed and is puttin a mini eaton supercharger in it! over 150bhp! pure madness.

A lot of work and money to get that 150 BHP - especially when you consider he is going to Supercharge it...
And seeing as an 8v 1242 Turbo'd can put out 120 BHP+ without serious mods - puts it in perspective a bit.

Mines going in for a 1.2 16v transplant asap. Basically got given a punto 1.2 16v elx that had been crashed into the back of from a member of family and i'm having more or less the whole mechanical front end (engine, brakes, the lot) put into the front of my cinq!!!

I guess i'll have to see what happens?

Anybody got any ideas how fast its gonna be?

If your gonna do something wrong... do it right.

The only issue is the ecu (remapping) and and on spi's the injection system, not really worth it on a cinq as the money would be better spent tuning a 1242.
No such thing as an untunable engine tho, I have looked at the head castings and there is alto of room for improvement evenn without going for larger valves.

I was speaking to a friend that works with GSR and he was saying he wasn't impressed by the GSR 1242 16v
