General 1.1 sporting engine same as punto 1.1????

[paradisiac]

just looked on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cinquecento-S...ryZ10382QQssPageNameZWD4VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and they say the 1.1 sporting engine is the same 1 used in the punto, is this true?? if so does that mean any punto engine would fit, or is there alot of changes required?

This has been covered in other threads before

Basically, in a nutshell......

1108 are the same in either Cento or Punto (MPi Seis excluded due to fuelling system)
1242 SPi will fit fairly easily instead of the 1108 SPi
1400 Turbo will fit, but not before a lot of cash is spent on it.

Not heard of the other engine sizes being fitted. Complete MPi 1242s will fit late MPi Seis, but not SPi Seis

Have a little search around to get full details

may aswell sell yours, buy a sporting and swap over all the bits if you have done anyrthing to yours... thats what i did saves all the trouble and insurance will def be cheaper!

ok found the FAQ on it and it seems a major hassel bought cinq in bits for cheap and am finding it really hard to get it on the road due to scrappys round here having no parts

A friend of mine in Cornwall finds more FIRE parts than he could possibly stock. There is plenty of parts about. He gets me sometimes stuff when I can't find it here.

I remember him selling bits on eBay before, and looking at his other auctions, I would say the seller's a breaker.

yeah he owns a scrap yard, i wouldnt buy from him because if something goes wrong he doesnt care, ignores phone calls etc etc..... his ok if you get the item ok but if you dont then OH NO lol
