Over the last few days i have been doing quite a bit of research about engine tuning on the 1.1 sporting engine. Although its left me with quite a few questions.
ECU: Iv been looking at the mckcritch chip, although i noticed the post with the details of the chip is over 2 years old, is it still available and if it is not available what other options are there? Also my ecu for some reason is not the original magnetti marelli one. Wll it still fit/function and if not can i put any original sporting ecu into the car?
Induction: I dont wish to pay £100 for a GSR and found out i could make my own induction kit similair to this with a samco 90 degree reducing hose a piece of straight hose a filter of my choice and a 899cc bob? :S Im assuming this is the plastic cover for the throttle body that the air filter comes out of? Also does anyone know what the mesurements of samco hoseing i would need for this is?
Throttle Body: Also on the forum i found the 40mm tricker throttle bodies but again i dont wish to pay £100 for a throttle body and i recall reading somewhere that you can buy bigger throttle bodies from other fiat models? What is the biggest throttle body you can get and what vechicle is it from?
Cams: Again thanks to the wealth of information on this forum i found out that the punto 75 cams are considered a worth while upgrade for the 1.1 engine. Which exact engine are these from? As i believe there is a 16v 75 engine and 8v 75 engine both of which are 1.2 engines? Also does it matter what age/mk the punto it is coming from is?
Exhaust: Will i see much gains from a cat back system? Also i read that they may push the power further up the rev range which i wouldnt want, is this that case? Would i be better off just sticking with a back box obviously i wont get the same power gains if any but was just wondering if the power gain is worth the money.
Any help on all these subjects is much appreciated. Thanks in advance =]
