Technical 1.2L 8V Power

[Thomas_Si]

I'm curious as to why the old Mk1 Punto could do 75bhp and the new one can only do 65Bhp.

Can anyone who takes these apart for a living offer an insight (Cam angles)

Just be down to engine mapping most likely

:yeahthat:

i ran 90 with gsr, catback and map only.

theres quite a bit to be unleashed from them

theres a very helpful thread in the punto section at the moment about tuning a 1.2 8v

should you be interested

the power is so low for a reason.. like any car car, start messing with the computers and its guna **** up later..

i say, its not powerful enough to get any power out of it, so leave it standard or buy a bigger engine..

you obivously have no experience of tuning a car then!?

ive had mine mapped ages, its fine

only the mk1 punto 75 had 75bhp.

then there was the punto 60 which was 60bhp.

the difference between the two was that the 75 ran a 'hotter cam'. its a cheap mod for the seicento/cinquecento boys to add roughly 10bhp.

i have plenty of experience tuning a car, i worked at it for 3 years...

and ages means??2 months, 6 months, a year?????
the car is factory set to what it is capable of, you mess that up you put stress on the chassis, gearbox, driveshaft, crankshafts, camshafts etc etc... the list is endless.. unless you upgrade these parts they will eventually fail as they cant deal with the power... in which case you would be cheaper to buy a more powerful car..
thats why i dnt touch my 1.2 8v, its pointless

its actually set to the lowest tollerances, for emmisions reasons mainly, not weak parts, sure if you bolt a turbo on, the standard parts wont take that, but mild tuning....easy take it

 

[fenton_jd]

Hear the 1.2 FIRE can be taken up to 120bhp?

I'd take that over a T-Jet anyday for sheer cool factor.

 

[punto_matt]

If you turbo it and spend a **** load of cash on it it can.
