General 1108 NA tuning?

[allanhelen]

no a turbo is not an even slightly sensible answer it is just a way to empty your wallet faster you can blink but it is the key to a world of extream hi's and low's. You may actually be better off taking up recreational drugs

The real answer though is if you want to go faster buy a faster car

u have lot of answers and tips, u want n/a tuning first now u want a turbo.. strange. if u want go really fast buy racing cam with all side stuff that was mentioned above-but ull need better breaks, suspension etc.. back of mine car is terribly unstable, and i dont want think what will happen with 100+ bhp

so it sounds like a turbo could be the answer. Could anybody give me a parts list please?

Someone did do a post which pretty much listed all the parts -- the search engine should find it. As Martin says, it'll make a big hole in your wallet (but maybe ignite a fire in your heart).

Diwiak -- the first rule of building a turbo is get the suspension, wheels, tyres and brakes sorted first!

good point fingers any brands of choice for brakes??? (im doing the brakes anyway and imho the cinq standard brakes arnt exactly keen)

 

[allanhelen]

You need to search

Uno turbo or Punto GT conversions are the only real choices

 

[Diwiak]

For a fast cinq you really need vented front brakes and they are just not available on cento form. The aftermarket stuff may be better than std but still nowhere near good enough

i know this may be sacrilege but ive been offered a set of pug 205 speedlines in powder coat white, i know they are 15" but a mate of mine reckons they should just about fit, any thoughts or is he talking out of his arse??? (hopefully not my fave wheels of all time)

 

[arc]

i dont know the PCD of them, not keen on searching, but i wouldn't fit 15" wheels on a cento unless you're runnnig big power / torque.

i know the PCD is 100 on those wheels but if they are too heavy there's not much point

fiat pcd is 98, so they'd fit with wobbly bolts, its not that they are heavy - its that they are too large and the would destroy the the acceleration. and you might well have issues with them hitting the arches too.

just buy some 14" fiat wheels

thanks arc for all your help any recommendations on the wheel side?

 

[arc]

depends what you like, and what is for sale. I like my Abarth Speedline wheels, i think they're from a punto.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/14-Fiat-Alloy...14&_trkparms=72:1689|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318 <- they'd do, with better tyres on of course

 

[jaydr]

the abarth speedlines, are those the 5 spoke wheels from the cars upgrade brochure???

 

[arc]

maybe, they are what are on my car; https://www.fiatforum.com/garage_vehicle.php?do=view_vehicle&id=650
