Can new engines be bought from FIAT?

sounds like it will end like this: :bang:

Obviously I would want to avoid that so I'll be investigating much deeper. However, I think the clearance issues with the 1.4 FIRE in a cento was with the drivers headlight rather than the space where the turbo would be. The turbo-converted centos don't seem to have too many issues with regards to space for the turbo I don't think so unless the T-Jet uses a much bigger turbo and manifold then I would hope it would be similar?

Also yes I think there have been UT/PGT engines gone into Cinqs but at quite large expense. I don't know of the size comparison either.

Has anyone thought of buying in direct from europe, or even FPT themselves, they are the ones that make the engines so you'll be cutting out the middle men ( fiat UK and local dealer ). It seems that FPT are a seperate company within the Fiat group that just so happen to supply Fiat cars and many other manufacturers of boats lorries etc. Bit of a long shot but may be worth it.
