Tuning 1.2 8v turbo punto

[petethepirate]

what i am looking for is the parts required and is there a thread about how to do this

if some had like a step by step guide could someone link it to me or send it

 

[Ffoxy]

Most replies go along the lines of "it's not that easy, not that cheap & hard to insure...."

Just sell it & buy a turbo version

You didn't say yours was a Mark2, but yes, the principle is exactly the same. I don't think anyone is doing the kit new anymore, and I've never seen an MPi one. Using that thread and the guide, make it up yourself.

8V engines in Cinq and Sei, Uno & Punto are all much the same.

If you "accidentally" forget to get an engineers report and/or insurance please let us know before you go out.

Same engine, different car! (Assuming that it's MPI/SPI.)

None of the kits out there on eBay are suitable. Even if they were, you'd also need management, chassis/suspension/brake work.

Bear in mind that by fitting a 1.4 16v engine (Panda 100hp, Grande Punto, Stilo 1.4 16v) will give you much the same performance as a fairly good turbo and factory levels of reliability.

 

[DaveMcT]

Or even go out and buy a Panda 100hp, Grande Punto, Stilo 1.4 16v. At least you'll be able to get insurance for them.

Ah, but too fat, too heavy!

Assuming reasonable driving history (and age) the specialists will do you a decent(ish) insurance deal. Blue was costing me £500 Fully Comp (in Liverpool) -- Martin was paying far less in East Yorkshire.

 

[DaveMcT]

£500 per year for for a turbo modified Punto? Yeah right.

BTW the Panda isnt bloated, but yes most new(ish) cars are way too blobby.

i was planning on sourcing on how to this lol but thanks i was able to find out alot online and if i come to start the project i will let you know

If you look through the classifieds, theres a race spec 1242 block and crank. Also theres what lookes like a stage 2 head (tri-angle valve seats, ported etc) also for an 8v engine. Worth a look...

What ecu setup will you use? Piggyback or standalone?

 

[stringa]

to be honest, if you have to ask what you're going to need to do then chances are you aren't going to be able to do it.

 

[DaveMcT]

Upgrade the brakes and suspension to HGT standard then think about the engine & Stringa deffo has a point.
