Hey, im a new face here and am wondering if you guys could give me a hand.
I have a 2004 Fiat Panda Elegenza 1.2.
stock this has 60Bhp, im looking in increase the output as much as possible as i'm turning this in to a project car. I dont really have a goal for power at the moment as i'm not 100% what is possible in a Panda
I'm a motorsport engineering student, so i figure my own car would be the best way to get some experience.
In an ideal world, i would want to turbo the car, but I have read it may be a better bet to put the (Punto?) 1.4 engine in the car instead.
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on to what can be done to get the maximum power out of the car?
as it stands the engine needs a rebuild and im on small, but not too small budget.
any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I'm unable to find what sort of power the gearbox and engine can handle, so im in the dark on what needs to be done the car.
Im comfortable in rebuilding an engine, just wondering would rebuilding and turboing be more beneficial than a complete engine swap?
Or am i looking at this completely the wrong way and maybe theres something else I can do?
