Hi mates,
finally I'm getting ready to have my cinquecento "upgraded" to 1242ccm.
I'll use the 1108ccm cinque head as it seems to be the same as the 1242ccm head. (and I have already another inlead manifold with 34mm trottle body and a 2" 4in1 exhaust so my head is ported a little at the inled and exhaust part to make the gasflow better).
I'm thinking of getting a new clutch (not necessary after 50'miles, but won't hurt) and a new cambelt. Are the parts the same for the cinque and the punto engine?
As right now I have a 10% shorter gear that allows me the be in the red at high speed right now (with above mods and a Punto75cam and a novitec airbox) so I was thinking of getting back to standart. To all that are driving a 1242ccm Cinque: is the standart gear ratio fine (in my case with 195/45-14) or too long (as for 1108ccm it is definately too long)??
Any addl. advice before my pocket ferrari gets the transplant?
