Hi,
How can I make the difference or identify the following engines:

• 1242 cm³ Fire, SPI, 8v, 60 hp
• 1242 cm³ Fire MPI, 8v, 75 hp
• 1242 cm³ Fire, 16v, 86 hp

If you can post pictures it would be helpful

Thank you

This is a good place to start.

The 16v engines (1.2 and 1.4) have completely different head designs. This will provide some clues.

Wikipaedia is pretty much up to date with Fire and SuperFIRE stuff.

Thank you for the answer, but the thread is talking about an engine swap.
I'm looking for a car and I want to know what engine is under the hood, I don't want that some guys sell me something that is not, just because I'm a girl; I have some knowledge about cars, but not a professional level.
If someone has the photos of the three models, and mention the differences on them, it would be

but the thread is talking about an engine swap.

Because your question is about engines! And you were refered there for the pictures.

You'll find some pictures on google. (Google images FIAT Punto) Problem is, not a lot will be known, generally, about the specifications of cars exported to Tunisia.

As I say, the 16v engines look completely different to the 8v ones, so that's easy enough. Look for an 85, or 85 ELX badge.

The 8v SPI Punto will be a Mk1, almost certainly badged as a 60. The 8v MPI will be badged as a 75 and is also a Mk1.

But there will also be a Mk2 MPI cars with 8v engines.
