Back from the Fast Show and my grande punto 1.2 seems the slowest thing about, i have been trawling through the threads in search of information, but none is that specific.

What modifications can i do to make my car quicker, how much will it cost, and what sort of power gain will i notice. Is a Turbo possible?

Thanks.

A turbo is probably out of your budget because it would probably cost £2000 + so you would be better just buying a faster car. I think the best thing to do would be to get an induction kit like a GSR induction and a remap which would give you around an extra 10 bhp but thats a lot of money for very little performance gain. You could strip your car out such as removing rear steats, trim and spare wheel which would shave some weight if you were really serious about going that bit faster

Sorry to give bad news, but just save up for a car with a bigger engine.

You could spend a fortune on the 1.2 for little gain. WIll also make your insurance sky high and when you come to sell nobody will buy.

get a 1.3mjet :devil: pretty nippy anyway, but can put out a bit of power when tuned, and is only group 3 insurance

Could i put an abarth turbo on my 1.2?

In theory you could, but would be one hell of an effort and cost. You would have to upgrade everything.

Sure, all you need is some glue and tape.

Yeah like some else said to could but you obiviously don't know what other parts you will need & how much money you would have to put into it, its not like you can just bolt it on then go lol

Theres an abarth turbo on ebay going for £200 at the minute, not sure what it will end at, but thats why i was asking.

Haha thats for sure.

by how you are speaking, im guessing the other modifications needed would be a lot of money? so therefore i wont be buying it haha. Just seems a shame that i would have to sell my car in order for more power.

not neccessarily, get a bigger engine off ebay, 1.4s are always fro sale. get a tjet engine for about 3-700 pounds, thats a start. then when u can upgrade gear box and clutch, if they are different in tjet, then modify away :devil:

this is only an 8v and not turbod one, so probs not worht effort

if you want to go that way better to get the coops 20vt as the stilo 20v is not a reliable engine and slow tbh only 170 horses

Reckon that would be quite a cool conversion.
